Exploring the mosquito-arbovirus network: a survey of vector competence experiments

B. Chen, A. Sweeny, V. Y. Wu…·C. J. Carlson

This study reviews mosquito-arbovirus competence experiments, finding most potential mosquito-virus combinations are untested, limiting predictive modeling of vector-virus networks.

How do I bite thee? Let me count the ways: Exploring the Implications of Individual Biting Habits of Aedes aegypti for Dengue Transmission

R. C. Christofferson, H. J. Wearing, E. A. Turner…·S. Cauchemez

This paper investigates individual biting heterogeneity in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes across temperatures and shows how biting profiles affect dengue transmission probabilities.

The tortoise strategy as an arbovirus fitness phenotype within the mosquito as revealed by a novel formulation of age-structured vectorial capacity

E. H. Mayton, H. J. Wearing, A. R. Tramonte, R. C. Christofferson

This paper develops an age-structured vectorial capacity framework to analyze how mosquito age and arbovirus traits influence transmission dynamics, revealing a 'tortoise strategy' as more effective than faster phenotypes.
