Aedes albopictus host odor preference does not drive observed variation in feeding patterns across field populations
2022-09-08
Abstract excerpt
Laboratory and field-based studies of the invasive mosquito Aedes albopictus demonstrate its competency to transmit over twenty different pathogens linked to a broad range of vertebrate hosts. Our understanding of the true vectorial capacity of Ae. albopictus in nature is incomplete, partly due to uncertainty surrounding its feeding behavior. Blood meal analyses from field-captured specimens have shown vastly diff...
