As summer temperatures rise in the northern hemisphere & mosquitoes with them, the age old question arises: "Why do mosquitoes bite some people more than others?" 🔍 🦟 This article on #BBC Future discusses current knowledge, with comments from Prof Steven Lindsay & I www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...

Why do mosquitoes bite some people more than others?

Long before they land, mosquitoes are reading our body signals from afar. Find out if you feature high on the bloodsuckers' hit list.

Looking forward to enjoying those fantastic mozzie drawings, eg. of #Aedeomyia furfura, #Anopheles garnhamii, or #Coquillettidia fuscopennata! 🦟

Inspired by @mosquitolab.bsky.social's enthusiastic description (skywriter.blue/@mosquitolab...) I managed to get hold of a copy of JD Gillett's "Common African Mosquitos" from 1972 and its wonderful drawings by Dr Judith G Smith.🦟

📢 New paper led by Dr Georgia Kirby with findings from 1st comprehensive survey of #mosquitoes across #Scotland. Results address the substantial knowledge gap on mosquito vector ecology in Scotland, as needed to assess vector-borne disease risk under #climatechange link.springer.com/article/10.1...

I just submitted my comments. If you are in medical entomology make sure to comment given the effect on our science. 🧪🦟

A lot of people who know me know that I am totally fascinated (and a little terrified) by ticks. Today, I got to geek out on how traveling ticks are bringing diseases to new places for @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/07/10/w...

Ticks Are on the Move. Here Are the Risks in Your Region.

Changing deer populations, rising temperatures and other factors are driving ticks and their diseases into new areas.

In tests in two mosquito species, Anopheles coluzzii and Anopheles gambiae, gene drives reached 100% prevalence and remained stable for 35 generations. One of the tested gene drives did develop a mutation that interfered with its function. In PNAS: https://ow.ly/utNX50ZmsV0

🧪🧵 🪰 🐜🪲🐞🦗🐛🦋🪳🦟 How many species of insect are there?  A seemingly simple question, but one that has been 'bugging' scientists for years.  Our work out today suggests that there are millions more than we had previously expected.  doi.org/10.1073/pnas... @gdfcf.bsky.social

Turns out the number of insect species is...a lot. I tell people that there are 3700 described species of mosquito but it's my opinion that it's probably closer to 7,000. Might need to rethink that. 🦟🪰🧪
