Deep behavioral phenotyping of pathogen infected mosquitoes reveals species-specific behavior changes enhancing transmission

2026-01-06

Abstract excerpt

Mosquito-borne pathogens are often proposed to alter mosquito behavior to enhance transmission, yet the prevalence, magnitude, and consequences of such effects remain unclear. Using custom high- throughput behavioral assays and deep-learning analysis, we quantified the blood-feeding behavior of more than 5,000 mosquitoes, and long-term activity patterns of more than 1,000 mosquitoes across six clinically relevant...
