Mosquito infection-mediated trait variation alters temperature-dependent transmission of West Nile virus

Abstract excerpt

Rising global temperatures are reshaping species interactions and the ecological conditions governing vector-borne disease transmission. Although previous studies show that West Nile virus (WNV) infection alters mosquito longevity, fecundity, blood-feeding behavior, and the thermal performance of these traits, trait-based R₀ models largely rely on data from uninfected mosquitoes, implicitly assuming homogeneous ve...
