Circadian modulation of mosquito host-seeking persistence by Pigment-Dispersing Factor impacts daily biting patterns
2024-09-19
Abstract excerpt
Daily rhythms in mosquito attraction to humans are thought to drive biting patterns and contribute to disease transmission dynamics. Behavioral rhythms in many insects are controlled by specialized clock cells in the brain that are coordinated by the neuropeptide Pigment-Dispersing Factor (PDF). We show that female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes with genetically disrupted PDF display altered daily behavioral timing wit...
