29/250 is Role of vector phenotypic plasticity in disease transmission as illustrated by the spread of dengue virus by Aedes albopictus

I'm interested in the role of mosquito age structure on viral transmission, and this seems relevant. Also a way to incorporate life history into disease models
Role of vector phenotypic plasticity in disease transmission as illustrated by the spread of dengue virus by Aedes albopictus - Nature Communications
There is a need for accurate models to predict disease dynamics by considering the interactions between environment and vector traits. This study finds that incorporating delayed phenotypic plasticity...
