Primary blood-hosts of mosquitoes are influenced by social and ecological conditions in a complex urban landscape
Abstract Background Temperate urban landscapes support persistent and growing populations of Culex and Aedes mosquito vectors. Large urban mosquito populations can represent a significant risk for transmission of emergent arboviral infection. However, even large mosquito populations are only a risk...
