Fat body-specific vitellogenin expression regulates host-seeking behaviour in the mosquito Aedes albopictus.
The high vector competence of mosquitoes is intrinsically linked to their reproductive strategy because females need a vertebrate blood meal to develop large batches of eggs. However, the molecular mechanisms and pathways regulating mosquito host-seeking behaviour are largely unknown. Here, we test...
