Linking individual phenotype to density-dependent population growth: the influence of body size on the population dynamics of malaria vectors [PDF]
, 2011 Understanding the endogenous factors that drive the population dynamics of malaria mosquitoes will facilitate more accurate predictions about vector control effectiveness and our ability to destabilize the growth of either low- or high-density insect ...

The phenology and population dynamics of Culicoides spp. in different ecosystems in the Netherlands [PDF]
, 2008 The Netherlands has enjoyed a relatively free state of vector-borne diseases of economic importance for more than one century. Emerging infectious diseases may change this situation, threatening the health of humans, domestic livestock and wildlife.

Contrasting Plant Defense Responses against Insect Vectors from Two Feeding Guilds [PDF]
Plants mediate the interactions between insects and pathogens in numerous ways. The primary mechanism thought to underlie plant-mediated insect-pathogen interactions is the activation of defense-related signaling pathways.

Oviposition in the blood-sucking insect Rhodnius prolixus is modulated by host odors [PDF]
, 2015 Background: Triatomine bugs are blood-sucking insects, vectors of Chagas disease. Despite their importance, their oviposition behavior has received relatively little attention. Some triatomines including Rhodnius prolixus stick their eggs to a substrate.

Cytochrome P450associated with insecticide resistance catalyzes cuticular hydrocarbon production in Anopheles gambiae. [PDF]
, 2016 The role of cuticle changes in insecticide resistance in the major malaria vector Anopheles gambiae was assessed. The rate of internalization of 14C deltamethrin was significantly slower in a resistant strain than in a susceptible strain.

Data-driven modeling of the olfactory neural codes and their dynamics in the insect antennal lobe [PDF]
, 2013 Recordings from neurons in the insects' olfactory primary processing center, the antennal lobe (AL), reveal that the AL is able to process the input from chemical receptors into distinct neural activity patterns, called olfactory neural codes.

Hematophagous insects as vectors for frog trypanosomes.
Revista de biologia tropical, 1977 De los resultados logrados al intentar infectar experimentalmente tres especies de artrópodos hematófagos (Rhodnius prolixus, Aedes aegypti y Culex pipiens) con un tripanosoma perteneciente al complejo Trypanosoma rotatorium, albergado por Hyla crepitans y Leptodactylus insularum se deduce que A.
