This study tests the redox theory of aging by evolving mosquitoes under different reproductive schedules and parasite exposure, finding that oxidative stress contributes but does not determine aging.

This study examines how energy shifts in Anopheles gambiae relate to survival likelihood under stressors like blood meals and parasitism.

The paper shows infected mosquitoes adjust their diet to reduce parasite load and extend lifespan, suggesting self-medication despite benefits in uninfected individuals.

This study investigates the trade-off between virulence and transmission in microsporidia by examining parasite survival outside hosts.

This study examines how prooxidant and antioxidant intake affects Anopheles gambiae longevity, fecundity, and parasite load when infected with Vavraia culicis, showing timing-dependent effects.

This study investigates how virulent strains of the microsporidian parasite Vavraia culicis alter host resource dynamics in Anopheles gambiae, revealing effects on protein, carbohydrate, lipid, and metal content.

This study shows that selecting for early or late host transmission in a parasite affects virulence, host mortality, and life cycle traits, highlighting the need to consider the entire transmission cycle in parasite evolution studies.

This study shows that sublethal insecticide exposure during larval development affects adult mosquito blood-feeding behavior and egg-laying patterns, with implications for disease transmission.

This study examines how different nectars and sugar types affect the longevity of Anopheles gambiae s.l. mosquitoes, finding that sugar type and concentration significantly influence lifespan.

This study examines Toxoplasma gondii prevalence in wild chimpanzees, finding higher infection rates in a community with greater human interaction and among high-ranking males.

This study examines the effects of Vavraia culicis on life-history traits of Aedes aegypti and Anopheles gambiae, revealing differences in infection dynamics and sexual dimorphism.
