Abstract

The yellow fever mosquito is a prolific disease vector. This mosquito has been the subject of scientific investigation for more than a century. Continued research into biology is crucial for understanding how to halt the suite of major arthropod-borne viral diseases this mosquito transmits. Here, we provide an introductory overview of life cycle; evolutionary history, biology, and ecology; genetics and sex differences; vector competence; and laboratory colonization and considerations for rearing this robust mosquito species for use in laboratory research.

摘要

黄热病蚊是一种繁殖能力很强的疾病传播媒介。这种蚊子已经成为一个多世纪以来科学研究的对象。持续的生物学研究对于了解如何阻止这种蚊子传播的一系列主要节肢动物传播病毒疾病至关重要。在这里，我们提供了一个生命周期的介绍性概述；进化历史、生物学和生态学；遗传学和性别差异；媒介能力；以及实验室殖民化和饲养这种强壮蚊子用于实验室研究的考虑因素。
