In our latest preprint we show that mosquitoes that can regulate their metabolism after infection can tolerate viral infections better.

Thanks to all the authors for all your ideas and contributions

Last week we @akhorramnejad.bsky.social publish a paper on how climate change could alter mosquitoes-virus interactions

Here is a blog post in Research Communities from @springernature.com summarising our results using a less technical language and telling the #BehindthePaper go.nature.com/41fy80U
Warmer sicker? Or warmer stronger? How climate change shapes mosquito immunity.

Check out our paper, co-authored by @akhorramnejad.bsky.social and me. Published in @commsbio.bsky.social

We explore how global change will affect mosquito-virus interaction. We use single or multi-generational exposure to heat to address this.
