Heritability and phenotypic plasticity of biting time behaviors in the major African malaria vector <i>Anopheles arabiensis</i>
2021-05-17
Abstract excerpt
Use of Insecticide Treated Nets for malaria control has been associated with shifts in mosquito vector feeding behavior including earlier and outdoor biting on humans. The relative contribution of phenotypic plasticity and heritability to these behavioural shifts is unknown. Elucidation of the mechanisms behind these shifts is crucial for anticipating impacts on vector control. We used a novel portable semi-field...
