Fluctuating Warm and Humid Conditions Differentially Impact Immunity and Development in the Malaria Vector Anopheles stephensi

Abstract excerpt

A variety of environmental factors including temperature and humidity influence mosquito physiology and behavior. However, their direct impact on innate immunity, the core mosquito defense system against pathogen infection, remains insufficiently understood. This is particularly important as climate change is likely already altering mosquito distribution. A key limitation in most mosquito studies is the use of...
