Visual threats reduce blood-feeding and trigger escape responses in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes
Abstract The diurnal mosquitoes Aedes aegypti are vectors of several arboviruses, including dengue, yellow fever, and Zika viruses. To find a host to feed on, they rely on the sophisticated integration of olfactory, visual, thermal, and gustatory cues emitted by the hosts. If detected by their targe...
