Dehydration bouts prompt increased activity and blood feeding by mosquitoes

2017-04-04

Abstract excerpt

Mosquitoes are prone to dehydration and respond to this stress through multiple mechanisms, but previous studies have examined very specific responses and fail to provide an encompassing view of the role that dehydration has on mosquito biology. This study examined underlying changes in biology of the northern house mosquito, Culex pipiens , associated with short bouts of dehydration. We show that dehydration inc...
