Individual experience affects host choice in malaria vector mosquitoes

1 Jan 2014

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Despite epidemiological importance, few studies have explored whether individual experience and learning could affect the vertebrate host choice of mosquito disease vectors. Here, we investigated whether a first successful blood meal can modulate mosquito preference during a second blood meal. METHODS: In no-choice situations, females of the mosquito Anopheles coluzzii, one of the primary African...
