Spring is here and so are mosquitoes! @FIUCASE researchers @MattDeGennaro, @AndreSilvaAedes and Kaylee Marrero explain that mosquitoes work together to find suitable egg-laying sites to avoid crowds in @ConversationUS.

Just like parents consult online reviews and share perspectives to find the perfect daycare, mosquitoes surprisingly use smell cues shared among a group to select ideal breeding sites for their offspring. Discover this fascinating behavior in my new paper!

When choosing equal breeding sites, gravid Aedes aegypti 🦟 aggregate more often than expected, depending on the # of females present and involving a density-regulated avoidance response.

Want to control where mosquitoes lay their eggs? We discovered communal cues Aedes aegypti use to manage their population at breeding sites. Time to rethink skip-oviposition.

Want to learn about the mosquito’s relationship with water? Check out Elaine Chu’s first publication in my lab. The chapter is in the book she’s holding…

Can a blood meal can change visual attention in mosquitoes? We show that it can happen. @ElinaBarredo @JoshmanRaji #FIU royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

It's happening, y'all! Next spring, I'm teaching a seminar course on:
✨Current and Emerging Topics in Medical and Veterinary Entomology✨

A new chapter begins and hopefully along with it... a new mosquito repellent. #FIU @Ginkgo @azitrainc Team awarded $15M by DARPA to develop skin microbiome-based mosquito repellent disq.us/t/3tl5rwb

@areyoukeddingme @SkeeterCierra @cgrhodes_ @areyoukeddingme yes, it was the sweetest thing ever 🥺❤ I still have it too!! 🥰

In entomology we don’t say “I love you” we say “do you want this cool insect I caught?” and I think that’s beautiful. 🪲

@areyoukeddingme @metalmosquito first before reconfirming with RAMP. I would definitely recommend reconfirming with a second test.
English
@areyoukeddingme @metalmosquito Hey! Yes, you are correct, Harris County first screens pools of mosquitoes with an ELISA and if it comes back positive then it will get screened once more with a RAMP test. As for potential sources for false positives from the RAMP, I am unsure since we screen with the ELISA
