The influence of oviposition status on measures of transmission potential in malaria-infected mosquitoes depends on sugar availability
BackgroundLike other oviparous organisms, the gonotrophic cycle of mosquitoes is not complete until they have selected a suitable habitat to...

Odour-mediated oviposition site selection in Aedes aegypti depends on aquatic stage and density
BackgroundOlfaction plays an important role in the selection and assessment of oviposition sites by mosquitoes. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)...

Chemical composition of four essential oils and their adulticidal, repellence, and field oviposition deterrence activities against Culex pipiens L. (Diptera: Culicidae)
Effective mosquito repellents can limit the transmission of vector-borne diseases to humans. Consequently, there is an urgent need to develop...

Histological confinement of transglutaminase-mediated nit sheath crosslinking is essential for proper oviposition and egg coating in the human head louse, Pediculus humanus capitis
BackgroundHead louse females secrete liquid gel, which is mainly composed of the louse nit sheath protein 1 (LNSP1) and LNSP2, when they lay eggs....

Semiochemical oviposition cues to control Aedes aegypti gravid females: state of the art and proposed framework for their validation
In the fight against mosquito-borne diseases, odour-based lures targeting gravid females represent a promising alternative to conventional tools for...

Synergism between nonane and emanations from soil as cues in oviposition‐site selection of natural populations of Anopheles gambiae and Culex quinquefasciatus
BackgroundOlfactory cues have been shown to have an important role in guiding gravid mosquito females to selected sites for egg laying. The objective...
