Popis: The yellow fever mosquitoAedes aegyptiis a prolific disease vector. This mosquito has been the subject of scientific investigation for more than a century. Continued research intoAedes aegyptibiology is crucial for understanding how to halt the suite of major arthropod-borne viral diseases this mosquito transmits. Here, we provide an introductory overview ofAedes aegyptilife 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.
