TLDR
This work integrates the available information including genetics, behaviour, morphology, ecology and biogeography of the mosquito, with human history to reach a realistic and comprehensive understanding of this important vector of yellow fever, dengue and Chikungunya.Abstract:
The adaptation of insect vectors of human diseases to breed in human habitats (domestication) is one of the most important phenomena in medical entomology. Considerable data are available on the vector mosquito Aedes aegypti in this regard and here we integrate the available information including genetics, behaviour, morphology, ecology and biogeography of the mosquito, with human history. We emphasise the tremendous amount of variation possessed by Ae. aegypti for virtually all traits considered. Typological thinking needs to be abandoned to reach a realistic and comprehensive understanding of this important vector of yellow fever, dengue and Chikungunya.read more

Phytochemical constituents and larvicidal efficacy of Calopogonium mucunoides leaf and Chrysophyllum albidum seed extracts against the Aedes aegypti larvae
TL;DR: The potential bioactive compound extant in these plants could become a substitute for conventional insecticides and synthetic pesticides and ought to be further explored for control of mosquito larvae.

Larval Emergence from Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) Eggs Exposed to Hot Air
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors used hot air for combating the Aedes aegypti (L.) (Diptera: Culicidae) vector, which represents a severe threat to human well-being and health due to the arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) it transmits.

TL;DR: Professor McNeill, through an accumulation of evidence, demonstrates the central role of pestilence in human affairs and the extent to which it has changed the course of history.

Invasions by insect vectors of human disease
TL;DR: Propagule pressure, previous success, and adaptations to human habits appear to favor successful invasions by vectors, such as anthropophilic fleas, lice, kissing bugs, and mosquitoes.

TL;DR: A population genetic model for vector competence is proposed and recent progress in testing this model is discussed and approaches being taken to identify the genes that may control flavivirus susceptibility in Ae.
