The ecological and epidemiological consequences of reproductive interference between the vectors Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus
1 Jul 2019
Abstract excerpt
Vector ecology is integral to understanding the transmission of vector-borne diseases, with processes such as reproduction and competition pivotal in determining vector presence and abundance. The arbovirus vectors Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus compete as larvae, but this mechanism is insufficient to explain patterns of coexistence and exclusion. Inviable interspecies matings-known as reproductive...
