Ecological genomics of preference for human hosts in the native range of the dengue mosquito

2026-02-12

Abstract excerpt

The arbovirus transmitting mosquito Aedes aegypti has African origins where it maintains generalist and human specialist feeding forms, the latter of which has recently expanded their range worldwide. These two different forms appear to be directly linked to discrete genetic lineages, where the relative proportion of each ancestry dictates a mosquito’s standing on the human specialist-generalist behavior spectrum...
