CURRENT BIOLOGY, 30(18), 3570-+.

By: N. Rose*, M. Sylla*, A. Badolo*, J. Lutomiah*, D. Ayala*, O. Aribodor*, N. Ibe*, J. Akorli* ...

MeSH headings : Aedes / genetics; Aedes / growth & development; Africa / epidemiology; Animals; Cities; Climate; Female; Genetics, Population; Genome, Insect; Humans; Insect Bites and Stings / epidemiology; Insect Proteins / genetics; Male; Mosquito Vectors / genetics; Mosquito Vectors / growth & development; Population Density; Urbanization
TL;DR: The findings strongly suggest that human-biting in this important disease vector originally evolved as a by-product of breeding in human-stored water in areas where doing so provided the only means to survive the long, hot dry season. (via Semantic Scholar)
