“Bird biting” mosquitoes and human disease: a review of the role of Culex pipiens complex mosquitoes in epidemiology
The transmission of vector-borne pathogens is greatly influenced by the ecology of their
vector, which is in turn shaped by genetic ancestry, the environment, and the hosts that are …
