Special Issue on Mosquito Research

The mosquitoes are a family of small, midge-like flies. Although a few species are harmless or even useful to humanity, most are a nuisance because they consume blood from living vertebrates, including humans. The females of many species of mosquitoes are blood-eating pests. In feeding on blood, some of them transmit extremely harmful human and livestock diseases, such as malaria, yellow fever and filariasis. Some authorities argue accordingly that mosquitoes are the most dangerous animals on the earth. Many researches were focused on finding the effective methods to control these dangerous insects all over the world.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Mosquito Research. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

l   Mosquito in morphology

l   Mosquitoin genetics

l   Mosquitoinimmunology

l   Mosquitoinmolecular biology

l   Mosquitoin microbiology

l   Mosquitoin brood sucking

l   Mosquito and disease

l   Mosquito control

Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines arefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue’’ under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue-Mosquito Research” should be chosen during your submission.
