Effects of Light and Temperature on Daily Activity and Clock Gene Expression in Two Mosquito Disease Vectors
15 May 2018
Abstract excerpt
Most organisms feature an endogenous circadian clock capable of synchronization with their environment. The most well-known synchronizing agents are light and temperature. The circadian clock of mosquitoes, vectors of many pathogens, drives important behaviors related to vectoral capacity, including oviposition, host seeking, and hematophagy. Main clock gene expression, as well as locomotor activity patterns, has...
