The evolution and genetics of vector competence in mosquito disease vectors

2013-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Vector competence is a complex characteristic which governs an insect's ability to acquire, support the development and transmit a parasite from one host to another. It influences variation in disease transmission among mosquito populations, hence affecting disease epidemiology. In this project, I have studied some aspects of ecological interactions and genetic factors in a step towards understanding how these aff...
