@cmst232 just delivered an outstanding presentation on how the composition of urban green spaces can affect host feeding patterns and the prevalence of West Nile virus infection in Culex mosquitoes.#ICE2024Kyoto#ICE2024
New paper out: Environmental factors like seasonality and developed land cover can shape Culex mosquito abundance and microbiome diversity. https://t.co/sTeZjMCVwI
In a recent collaboration with @AMGBarreaux , we investigated how larval diet and temperature affect the immunity and development of the Asian tiger mosquito. We also explored using body size to track their carry-over effects on longevity.

Read our latest research on nutritional impact on mosquito traits, immunity and DENV infection susceptibility, published with @SpringerNature in @CommsBio.
Inadequate nutrition during both the larval and adult stages on the yellow fever mosquito compromises key life history traits and antiviral immune responses, while boosting vulnerability to dengue infection.

Still many interesting talks in the last afternoon of #esa2021. If you are still here, please stop by our session of mosquito physiology & control in room 205-207 and my talk about nutritional stress, dengue infection susceptibility and immune performance will be at 3:06 pm.
Si te interesan los mosquitos y los parásitos de la malaria aviar, y quieres comprender como la microbiota puede afectar su interacción, no dejes pasar esta oportunidad para realizar la tesis en la @CanalUGR. #Ecología#Parasitismo Please, RT!
Do you like building models and vector-borne diseases?? Apply for a postdoc in the Diuk-Wasser lab at Columbia University in NYC! Lots of projects with data ready to go, at least 60k & benefits (yay unions!), and an office with GIANT WINDOWS. Please RT! https://t.co/dir0ZTXbzx
#ILLINOIS vector ecologist Holly Tuten is hunting a creature that hunts her—Lone Star ticks.
Along with her research team, Tuten is at “tick ground zero” to investigate the Heartland virus in Illinois ticks, working with @IDPH and @CDCgov. ▶ https://t.co/aM11RprAQ8
