Abstract
Together, these studies argue that additional feeding in I Plasmodium i -infected mosquitoes significantly contribute to mosquito vector competence and the selection of parasite species to evolve with its mosquito host. To date, the kinetics of mosquito arbovirus infection has only primarily been examined following a single infectious blood meal and does not recapitulate the multiple feeding behaviors of mosquito vector species in the wild. Recent experiments in which mosquitoes were first offered an infectious blood meal and challenged 3 days later with a second noninfectious blood meal revealed that additional blood feeding-enhanced Zika virus, dengue virus, and chikungunya virus escape from the midgut, significantly shortening the duration between mosquito virus acquisition to transmission [[17]].
