Wild Populations of Malaria Vectors Can Mate Both Inside and Outside Human Dwellings

2021-05-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Wild populations of Anopheles mosquitoes are generally thought to mate outdoors in swarms, though once colonized, they also mate readily inside laboratory cages. This study investigated whether malaria vectors, Anopheles funestus and Anopheles arabiensis can naturally mate both inside and outside human dwellings. <h4>Method: </h4> Mosquitoes were sampled from three volunteer-occupied experime...
