Mosquito Biology : How a Quest for Water Spawned a Thirst for Blood
(2020) In Current Biology 30(18). p.1046-1049- Abstract
The invasive yellow-fever mosquito Aedes aegypti preferentially feeds on human blood. A new study finds that human-biting in this important disease vector might just be an unfortunate side effect of breeding in human-stored water.
