Mosquito-parasite interactions can shape filariasis transmission dynamics and impact elimination programs.
The relationship between mosquito vectors and lymphatic filariasis (LF) parasites can result in a range of transmission outcomes. Anophelines are generally characterized as poor vectors due to an inability to support development at low densities. However, it is important to understand the potential...
