Student Competition I

80 - Endemicity of malaria and dengue trumps the study of Culex spp. mosquitoes and associated pathogens.

Wednesday, March 5, 2025
8:50 AM – 9:00 AM AST
Location: 201
Abstract:

Countries endemic for human-amplified mosquito-borne pathogens have a research community focused on Aedes and Anopheles spp. mosquitoes, often at the neglect of other vectors and pathogens. Using a systematic literature review, we tested the hypothesis that the proportion of mosquito publications on Culex spp. will be higher in countries that are non-endemic for malaria and dengue. Our results suggest that Culex spp. mosquitoes are significantly neglected in countries endemic for malaria and dengue.
