. 2023 Oct;
2024(8):pdb.prot108336.
PMID: 37816606
Mosquito-borne disease is a major global public health issue. One path toward the development of evidence-based strategies to limit mosquito biting is the study of the mosquito nervous system-in particular,...

Cold Spring Harb Protoc
. 2023 Oct;
2024(8):pdb.top108305.
PMID: 37816602
Mosquitoes transmit deadly pathogens from person to person as they obtain the blood meal that is essential for their life cycle. Female mosquitoes of many species are unable to reproduce...

Cell
. 2022 Aug;
185(17):3104-3123.e28.
PMID: 35985288
Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are a persistent human foe, transmitting arboviruses including dengue when they feed on human blood. Mosquitoes are intensely attracted to body odor and carbon dioxide, which they...
