Abstract

When a mosquito bites a human or other animal to feed, it is called taking a bloodmeal. Humans can become infected with mosquito-borne viruses when they are bitten by an infected mosquito. This infographic summarizes results of a NEVBD-supported project investigating how taking multiple bloodmeals in a row affects a mosquito's ability to transmit a disease. Information adapted from the manuscript by Armstrong et al. 2019. HTTPS://WWW.NATURE.COM/ARTICLES/S41564-019-0619-Y.
