Attractive toxic sugar bait containing ivermectin (ATSB‐IVM) ingestion markedly reduced blood feeding, survival, oviposition, egg production and larval hatching, with the strongest effects when baits were ingested before blood feeding. Timing of ingestion (48–96 h before or after blood feeding) shaped sublethal impacts across the first and second ...

Effect of blood meals and mating on biodemographic characteristics of Aedes albopictus
Lifespan did not differ between virgin and mated males and females. The number of blood meals (one and two) significantly reduced adult lifespan compared with those with no blood meal. The effect of the second blood meal doubled females' egg production and their reproductive output.

Human behaviors: a threat for mosquito control?
Community involvement and the preventive behavior of households are considered to be at the heart of vector-control strategies. In this work, we consider a simple theoretical model that enables us to take into account human behaviors that may interfere ...
