The toolbox for mosquito vector research.

ABSTRACT: The work of collecting mosquitoes in the field is essential for improving knowledge about species of known and unknown vector status, their invasion dynamics, and further understanding their involvement in circulating pathogens of medical and veterinary importance. Over the years, different techniques have been developed to capture mosquitoes for entomological, pathogen transmission, and surveillance studies. For entomological and transmission dynamic research to be reliable, it is essential for mosquito specimens to be correctly identified so that their role in pathogen transmission can be appropriately assessed. Currently, modern molecular techniques support traditional morphological taxonomic identification and provide faster and more assertive identification. It is also important to te
