New preprint out from our semi-field work in Ghana: lnkd.in/gv7qawvK
An. gambiae biting time is shaped by the nutritional status.
'Hungry' #mosquitoes (blue, fed on .5% sugar) bite earlier then well fed animals (red, 10% sugar + prior blood meal)
Highlights biting times is complex phenomenon.

Prediction of mosquito vector abundance for three species in the Anopheles gambiae complex
Background: The dynamics of vector borne disease transmission depend on the abundances of vectors. The dominant malaria vector species complex of Anopheles gambiae sensu lato is a target of vector con...

Made it to beautiful Puerto Rico for Mondays' start of the American Mosquito Control Association meeting.
I'm soft-launching a new project with @vectorbyte.bsky.social to collate continental-wide mosquito surveillance open data at my talk Thursday. Info at sites.nd.edu/samuel-rund/... Lets chat!
