This study shows that AalDV2 infection increases survival of Ae. albopictus larvae at high temperatures but reduces development speed and adult size, revealing temperature-dependent trade-offs in mosquito fitness.

The paper shows that the London Underground Mosquito adapted to human environments aboveground in the Middle East over 1000 years, not recently underground in London.

The paper reports the complete CDS of five viruses detected in mosquitoes from Reunion Island, including a protoambidensovirus previously reported only in C. pipiens found in A. albopictus.

The paper constructs a genetic sexing strain for Ae. albopictus to enable mass production of sterilizing males for mosquito control.
