An Eco-Evolutionary Modelling Framework for Mosquito Host Specialisation

2026-08-25

Abstract excerpt

Host preference varies widely across mosquitoes, with many species feeding opportunistically on diverse vertebrate hosts, while others show strong fidelity to specific hosts. Anthropophilia, the behavioural preference for feeding on humans, is a defining characteristic of some mosquito species responsible for the transmission of major human diseases, including malaria, dengue, and yellow fever. The evolution of an...
