Mosquito (Diptera: Culicidae) biting behaviour and malaria transmission : interactions between intrinsic host preferences and local host availability

2020-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Distribution of mosquito-borne diseases is governed by a complex mix of genetic, environmental and social factors which in turn affect pathogen, vector and host interactions. Different mosquito species show a variety of host biting behaviours with some showing an extreme preference for human blood hosts. However, even the most anthropophilic vectors will source a proportion of their blood meals from nonhuman hosts...
