Comparative physiological plasticity to desiccation in distinct populations of the malarial mosquito Anopheles coluzzii

Abstract Background In West Africa, populations of the malaria vector mosquito, Anopheles coluzzii, are seasonally exposed to strong desiccating conditions during the dry season. Their dynamics strictly follows the pace of the availability of suitable larval development sites (water collections). Ac...
