Multiple blood feeding bouts in mosquitoes allow for prolonged survival and are predicted to increase viral transmission during drought

2024-06-02

Abstract excerpt

Survival through periods of drought is critical for mosquitoes to reside in semi-arid regions with humans. Dry conditions increase blood feeding propensity in mosquitoes, but it is unknown if dehydration-induced bloodmeals increase feeding beyond what is necessary for reproduction. Following a bloodmeal, prolonged exposure to dry conditions increased secondary blood feeding in mosquitoes by nearly two-fold, and ch...
