<h4>Background</h4>Temperature is known to induce changes in mosquito physiology, development, ecology, and in some species, vector competence for arboviruses. Since colonized mosquitoes are reared under laboratory conditions that can be significantly different from their field counterparts, laboratory vector competence experiments may not accurately reflect natural vector-virus interactions.<h4>Methods</h4>We evaluated the effects of larval rearing temperature on immature development parameters ...[more]
