Abstract

Mosquitoes express a rich repertoire of daily 24-hour rhythms in biochemistry, physiology, and behavior. The nocturnal Anopheles and Culex and diurnal Aedes mosquitoes are major vectors of human disease, transmitting parasites and arboviruses, such as malaria and dengue. In this review, we explore the role that 24-hour diel and circadian rhythms play in shaping the temporal life of the mosquito. We focus on recent advances in our understanding of behavioral rhythms, focusing on locomotor/flight activity, host-seeking, biting/blood feeding, and mating. We examine the molecular circadian clock, photocycle, and light signals, which in combination shape the mosquito 24-hour temporal program. We address species- and sex-specific differences and highlight important selective pressures from dynamically changing environments. This work also provides new insights into disease transmission, insect control, and future experimental design.

病媒蚊子的昼夜节律和日节律。

蚊子在生物化学、生理学和行为方面表现出丰富的每日 24 小时节律。夜行性的按蚊和库蚊以及昼行性的伊蚊是人类疾病的主要传播媒介，传播疟疾和登革热等寄生虫和虫媒病毒。在这篇综述中，我们探讨了 24 小时昼夜节律在塑造蚊子的时间生活中所起的作用。我们将重点放在对行为节律理解的最新进展上，侧重于运动/飞行活动、寻找宿主、叮咬/吸血和交配。我们研究了分子昼夜节律钟、光周期和光信号，它们共同形成了蚊子 24 小时的时间程序。我们探讨了物种和性别差异，并强调了动态变化环境的重要选择压力。这项工作还为疾病传播、昆虫控制和未来的实验设计提供了新的见解。

期刊介绍： Current Opinion in Insect Science is a new systematic review journal that aims to provide specialists with a unique and educational platform to keep up–to–date with the expanding volume of information published in the field of Insect Science. As this is such a broad discipline, we have determined themed sections each of which is reviewed once a year. The following 11 areas are covered by Current Opinion in Insect Science. -Ecology -Insect genomics -Global Change Biology -Molecular Physiology (Including Immunity) -Pests and Resistance -Parasites, Parasitoids and Biological Control -Behavioural Ecology -Development and Regulation -Social Insects -Neuroscience -Vectors and Medical and Veterinary Entomology There is also a section that changes every year to reflect hot topics in the field. Section Editors, who are major authorities in their area, are appointed by the Editors of the journal. They divide their section into a number of topics, ensuring that the field is comprehensively covered and that all issues of current importance are emphasized. Section Editors commission articles from leading scientists on each topic that they have selected and the commissioned authors write short review articles in which they present recent developments in their subject, emphasizing the aspects that, in their opinion, are most important. In addition, they provide short annotations to the papers that they consider to be most interesting from all those published in their topic over the previous year.
