Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Aedes aegypti is the primary vector of dengue virus (DENV), a major arboviral disease affecting human health. Variation in detritus inputs and larval competition in containers where the species develop can influence female Ae. aegypti phenotypic traits, nutrient content (carbon, nitrogen, C:N ratio), and elemental isotopes (δ13C and δ15N), ultimately affecting vector competence for DENV. METHODS:...
