Community and network ecology of biting Diptera-host interactions

Abstract:

Biting flies (Diptera) are responsible for the transmission of a wide range of pathogens that infect humans and animals. Biting Diptera are highly taxonomically and ecologically diverse and display a range of blood-feeding behaviours. Most species are generalist and have the potential to take blood meals from hosts of different species through opportunistic feeding. However, some Diptera species also display a consistent host preference at the class or species level. These patterns of host us...
