Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) interventions can
reduce malaria transmission by targeting mosquitoes when they feed upon sleeping …

Mosquitoes use plant sugars and vertebrate blood as nutritional resources. When searching
for blood hosts, some mosquitoes express preferential behavior for selected species. Here …

Abstract Background Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS)
represent the front-line tools for malaria vector control globally, but are optimally effective …

Although anthropogenic impacts are often considered harmful to species, human
modifications to the landscape can actually create novel niches to which other species can …

Understanding the processes by which species colonize and adapt to human habitats is
particularly important in the case of disease-vectoring arthropods. The mosquito species …

Blood feeding is a fundamental mosquito behavior with consequences for pathogen
transmission and control. Feeding behavior can be studied through two lenses–patterns and …

Large‐scale monitoring schemes are essential in assessing global mammalian biodiversity,
and in this framework, leeches have recently been promoted as an indirect source of DNA …

Background Malaria transmission depends on vector life-history parameters and population
dynamics, and particularly on the survival of adult Anopheles mosquitoes. These dynamics …

Interest in larval source management (LSM) as an adjunct intervention to control and
eliminate malaria transmission has recently increased mainly because long-lasting …
