🦟 Stay updated on the latest about mosquitoes ! I configured a feed tracking #mosquitoes, #culicidae & 30 genus names like #Anopheles, #Aedes, #Culex, and #Mansonia for real-time updates, studies, and insights on mosquito ecology, biology, control.

Yes, mostly at dawn and dusk. It likely is able to transmit several pathogens (rift valley fever virus, yellow fever virus etc...)

📸 This one is very beautiful 🤩.

🦟 Eretmapodites sp. (likely chrysogaster), Casamance, Sénégal 🇸🇳.

All species in the genus are Afrotropical.

This work challenges the conventional view that ITNs should be deterrent, and opens perspectives for next-generation ITNs that combine insecticidal and attractive properties.

🦟 We model the impact of attractive, inert, and deterrent ITNs (insecticide-treated nets) on malaria transmission.
Data & model: buff.ly/MD5xO99

Key result 👉 Attractive ITNs may reduce malaria transmission more effectively than deterrent ones, even under physiological or behavioral resistance.

Our RCT in 🇧🇫 Burkina Faso & 🇨🇮 Côte d’Ivoire shows that adding either non-pyrethroid indoor residual spraying (IRS) or intensive behaviour change communication (BCC) to LLINs reduces #malaria burden.
