Do read Prashali’s X-plainer and paper about the blood-feeding behaviour of An. sephensi mosquitoes. Much of this work happened in the thick of the pandemic and none of us had ever worked with mosquitoes before. But what a blast it’s been! We hope you enjoy reading it!
I am super excited to share our work on blood-feeding behaviour🩸in Anopheles stephensi mosquitoes🦟! Check out our pre-print 👇
