Dating the origin and spread of specialization on human hosts in <i>Aedes aegypti</i> mosquitoes

2022-09-13

Abstract excerpt

The globally invasive mosquito subspecies Aedes aegypti aegypti is a highly effective vector of human arboviruses because it specializes in biting humans and breeding in human habitats. Recent work suggests that specialization first arose as an adaptation to long, hot dry seasons in the West African Sahel, where Ae. aegypti is forced to rely on human-stored water for breeding. However, rainfall patterns in this...
