Thermal stress responses on developmental time, survival, and wing morphometrics in desert and coastal strains of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) from India.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Aedes aegypti is a primary vector of dengue, chikungunya, Zika, and yellow fever diseases. Despite its global invasion, little is known about how populations from climatically contrasting regions adapt to varied thermal environments. Understanding survival strategies is critical for predicting population dynamics and disease transmission under climate change. To address this gap, we assessed...
