Most insects, including human-targeting mosquitoes, detect odors through odorant-activated
ion channel complexes consisting of a divergent odorant-binding subunit (OR) and a …

The majority of mosquito-borne illness is spread by a few mosquito species that have
evolved to specialize in biting humans, yet the precise causes of this behavioral shift are …

The drivers and patterns of zoonotic virus emergence in the human population are poorly
understood. The mosquito Aedes aegypti is a major arbovirus vector native to Africa that …

Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are major vectors of dengue, chikungunya, and other arboviral
diseases. Ae. aegypti's capacity to reproduce and to spread disease depends on the female …

Mosquito bites are endured by most populations worldwide. Reactions to mosquito bites
range from localized wheals and papules with associated pruritus to rare systemic reactions …

Current insights into the mosquito dehydration response rely on studies that examine
specific responses but ultimately fail to provide an encompassing view of mosquito biology …

Mosquitoes detect the presence of humans by integrating chemosensory, thermal, and
visual cues. Among these, odors are crucial for mosquito host detection. Insects have …
