Evolutionary Adaptations and Mosquito-Borne Viruses comprises comprehensive reviews of various topics in mosquito adaptations and mosquito-virus interactions, with insights into future research prospects. The topics covered in this volume include mechanisms of insecticide resistance, thermal and desiccation tolerance, insect-specific viruses and their interactions with pathogenic viruses, mosquito viral immunity, factors affecting vector competence, host preference, saliva and viral pathogenesis, microbiota and symbionts, gene drives and genetic modification of mosquitoes, and microRNA roles in mosquito-virus interactions.
