Investigating the blood-host plasticity and dispersal of Anopheles coluzzii using a novel field-based methodology
Abstract Background The biting behaviour and dispersal of insect vectors in the field underlies the transmission of many diseases. Here, a novel collection methodology coupled with the molecular analysis of blood-meal sources and digestion rates is introduced with the aim of aiding the understanding...
