Journal ArticleDOI
Harmonic convergence in the love songs of the dengue vector mosquito
TL;DR: Physiological recordings from Johnston's organ (the mosquito's “ear”) reveal sensitivity up to 2000 hertz, consistent with the observed courtship behavior, and revise widely accepted limits of acoustic behavior in mosquitoes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Malaria in India: The Center for the Study of Complex Malaria in India

TL;DR: Plans for a Center for the Study of Complex Malaria in India are described, one of ten International Centers of Excellence in Malaria Research (ICEMRs) located in malarious regions of the world recently funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health.
Journal ArticleDOI
‘Manipulation’ without the parasite: altered feeding behaviour of mosquitoes is not dependent on infection with malaria parasites
Lauren J. Cator,Justin George,Simon Blanford,Courtney C. Murdock,Thomas C. Baker,Andrew F. Read,Matthew B. Thomas +6 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that the feeding behaviour of female mosquitoes is altered by Plasmodium is supported, but the extent to which this is owing to active manipulation by malaria parasites of host behaviour is questioned.
Journal ArticleDOI
Do malaria parasites manipulate mosquitoes
TL;DR: The current evidence for manipulation is reviewed, its potential significance for malaria transmission is explored, and ways to move this hypothesis forward from theory to potential application in malaria control are suggested.
