Consuming Royal Jelly Causes Mosquitoes to Shift Into and Out of Their Overwintering Dormancy

2022-06-05

Abstract excerpt

Females of the Northern house mosquito, Culex pipiens , enter an overwintering dormancy, or diapause, in response to short day lengths and low environmental temperatures. Diapausing female mosquitoes feed exclusively on sugar-rich products rather than human or animal blood, thereby reducing disease transmission. During diapause, Major Royal Jelly Protein 1 (MRJP1) is upregulated in females of Cx. pipiens . This...
