Phylogenomics reveals the history of host use in mosquitoes - Nature Communications
Despite the significance of mosquitos for human health, little research has focused on their phylogeny. Here, the authors present a resolved phylogenetic history of mosquitoes based on phylogenomics s...

As of Wilkerson et al 2015, most of us no longer use Ochlerotatus as a separate genus (but it is treated as a subgenus), as Don comments above. But, Aedes is not monophyletic and a growing consensus in the literature points to a few potentials, which could see the return of Ochlerotatus as a genus.

Hmm. The statistics in the first brain shrinking study seem screwy.
Nonhospitalized (386) vs. Control (384) was not even close to significant, but all cases (401) vs control was just barely significant?
Sorry, I don't buy this result as meaningful.

Thanks Don! Wouldn't have been possible without the hard work of @genmorinaga.bsky.social
