The intimacy of sex in Aedes mosquitoes revealed
Goldman et al. and Houri-Zeevi et al. reveal how Aedes mosquitoes mate and the molecular bases of these interactions. Invasive Aedes mosquitoes are the vectors of arboviruses, causing an ever-increasing health burden. New sexual attributes and behaviors have been described and may inform the development of new genetic control technologies.
