A phylogenetic analysis of global mosquito blood-feeding patterns

[Background] Vector-borne diseases (VBDs) represent a significant global concern for public health and economic development, with mosquitoes serving as key vectors of pathogens responsible for severe diseases in humans, livestock, and wildlife. Mosquitoes exhibit relevant interspecific differences in their blood-feeding patterns, leading to important implications for the transmission and epidemiology of vector-borne parasites.
