Lizards Are Important Hosts for Zoonotic Flavivirus Vectors, Subgenus Culex, in the Southern USA

2022-02-11

Abstract excerpt

Host association is among the most important factors that drive the transmission dynamics of mosquito-vectored pathogens. Competent vectors that feed exclusively upon non-competent hosts will not transmit pathogens, and highly competent hosts that are not bitten by competent vectors will not contribute to pathogen amplification. Therefore, characterizing the blood-feeding ecology of vector mosquitoes is critical t...
