Scientist interested in how mosquitoes react to viral infections. On my free time you can find me climbing rocks, throwing a frisbee and drinking beers

if you have an interest in improving the genomic resources available for mosquitoes, please fill in our google form at tinyurl.com/MosquitoReferenceGenomes. please share this with colleagues who might be interested. thank you! [3/3]
Register your interest in participating in the Global Culicidae Reference Genomes Project
We are seeking mosquito biologists around the world who would be interested in collecting and contributing specimens of any vector species that currently lacks a reference genome.
Aim: We are aiming ...

(3) cost of infection or reproductive output of infected mosquitoes.
We found that there is an increase after one generation but after ten generations mosquitoes have similar reproductive output than standard mosquitoes 🧵(4/5)

(2) Resistance or the ability for mosquitoes to clear the viral infection
We found that after being exposed for a single generation to heat their resistance increased, but after being exposed for ten generations the resistance returned to the same level of standard mosquitoes 🧵(3/5)

We meassure 3 different parameters.
(1)Tolerance or the ability for mosquitoes to maintain health at high viral concentrations.
We found that the tolerance of mosquitoes increased after being exposed to heat for one generation and it increased even more after ten generations 🧵(2/5)
