Mosquito feeding behavior and how it influences residual malaria transmission across Africa
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019 Significance Malaria transmission persists even when mosquito control is used effectively. This “residual transmission” measures all forms of transmission that are beyond the reach of standard insecticidal nets and indoor residual spraying of ...

Not Just from Blood: Mosquito Nutrient Acquisition from Nectar Sources.
Trends in Parasitology, 2020 Anthropophilic female mosquitoes are well known for their strong attraction to human hosts, but plant nectar is a common energy source in their diets. When sugar sources are scarce, female mosquitoes of some species can compensate by taking larger and ...

Anthropogenic impacts on mosquito populations in North America over the past century. [PDF]
, 2016 The recent emergence and spread of vector-borne viruses including Zika, chikungunya and dengue has raised concerns that climate change may cause mosquito vectors of these diseases to expand into more temperate regions.

Communications Biology, 2023 Globally invasive Aedes aegypti disseminate numerous arboviruses that impact human health. One promising method to control Ae. aegypti populations is transinfection with Wolbachia pipientis, which naturally infects ~40–52% of insects but not Ae. aegypti.

Mosquitoes and Mosquito-Borne Diseases in Vietnam
Insects, 2022 Mosquito-borne diseases pose a significant threat to humans in almost every part of the world. Key factors such as global warming, climatic conditions, rapid urbanisation, frequent human relocation, and widespread deforestation significantly increase the number of mosquitoes and mosquito-borne diseases in Vietnam, and elsewhere around the world.

Novel control strategies for mosquito-borne diseases
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Biological Sciences, 2020 Mosquito-borne diseases are an increasing global health challenge, threatening over 40% of the world's population. Despite major advances in malaria control since 2000, recent progress has stalled.
