Genomic insights into disease vectors: Divergent evolution of mosquitoes, tsetse flies, sand flies and kissing bugs

This review examines the genomic basis of #hematophagy, reproduction, and vector competence in #mosquitoes, #TsetseFlies, sand flies, and kissing bugs, showing how genome architecture and immune adaptations shape vectorial capacity. #EpiSky

Genomic insights into disease vectors: Divergent evolution of mosquitoes, tsetse flies, sand flies and kissing bugs

This review highlights how #genomic architecture shapes the capacity of #InsectVectors— #mosquitoes, #TsetseFlies, sand flies, and #kissingbugs—to transmit pathogens, revealing differences in genome size, immune pathways, and symbiotic adaptations.
