Feeding Ecology and Host Preferences of Mosquitoes in two Zoological Gardens in the United Kingdom

2020-12-04

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Background:</bold> Zoological gardens contain unique configurations of exotic and endemic animals and plants that create a diverse range of developing sites and potential sources of blood meals for local mosquitoes. This may imply unusual interspecific pathogen transmission risks involving zoo animals, like avian malaria to captive penguins. Understanding mosquito ecology and host...
