State-dependent attacks in a mosquito

2010-03-01

Abstract excerpt

Mosquito biting frequency and meal size are considered to be important parameters in the epidemiology of insect-vectored diseases such as malaria. Because both parameters are likely to depend on the size and energetic state of adult mosquitoes, the present study investigates the effects of body size and energy state on attack behaviours in the malaria mosquito, Anopheles gambiae. Attack rates are measured as well...
