Harmonic convergence coordinates swarm mating by enhancing mate detection in the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae
Abstract The mosquito Anopheles gambiae is a major African malaria vector, transmitting parasites responsible for significant mortality and disease burden. Although flight acoustics are essential to mosquito mating and present promising alternatives to insecticide-based vector control strategies, th...
