Vector biology prospects in dengue research
Autor(es): Lambrechts, Louis; Failloux, Anna-Bella
Resumo: We argue that using more natural blood feeding methods to study mosquito vector competence for dengue viruses and exploring the effect of viral infection on other mosquito life-history traits that influence vectorial capacity will significantly advance our understanding of dengue epidemiology.
