Malaria parasites have been suggested to alter the behavior of mosquito vectors to increase
the likelihood of transmission. Some empirical evidence supports this hypothesis, yet the …

The familiar buzz of flying mosquitoes is an important mating signal, with the fundamental
frequency of the female's flight tone signaling her presence. In the yellow fever and dengue …

Malaria is a major public health problem in India and one which contributes significantly to
the overall malaria burden in Southeast Asia. The National Vector Borne Disease Control …

The field of mosquito mating biology has experienced a considerable expansion in the past
decade. Recent work has generated many key insights about specific aspects of mating …

‘Manipulation’ without the parasite: altered feeding behaviour of mosquitoes is not dependent
on infection with malaria parasites | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological …

Sound plays an important role in the mating behavior of mosquitoes, including Aedes
aegypti (L). Males orient to the fundamental wing beat frequency of females, and both sexes …

A critical step in understanding mate choice is determining which phenotypic characteristics
are used in mate assessment. Relatively little is known about the mating system of …

A mosquito needs to bite at least twice for malaria transmission to occur: once to acquire
parasites and, after these parasites complete their development in their mosquito host, once to …

Despite the importance of mosquito mating biology to reproductive control strategies, a
mechanistic understanding of individual mating interactions is currently lacking. Using …
