Time-of-day of blood-feeding: effects on mosquito life history and malaria transmission
Abstract Background Biological rhythms allow organisms to compartmentalise and coordinate behaviours, physiologies, and cellular processes with the predictable daily rhythms of their environment. There is increasing recognition that the biological rhythms of mosquitoes that vector parasites are impo...
