This study shows that blood-derived dietary protein increases sleep and reduces activity in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, suggesting a role for protein in regulating postprandial sleep behavior.

This study provides a detailed 72-hour transcriptome analysis of Aedes aegypti midgut after blood feeding, revealing gene expression dynamics across digestion and immune response phases.

This study identifies and functionally characterizes IsAQP1, an aquaporin in Ixodes scapularis, showing it is a water channel with low glycerol permeability and salivary gland-specific expression.
