| Abstract: | Vector-borne diseases threaten 80% of the world's population (1). At the top of the list is malaria, of which there are roughly 260 million cases each year (2), and dengue, which is present in 132 countries (3). As the world becomes more connected, populations of mosquitoes that were once geographically confined are now being transported long distances and adapting to new environments. Genomic data from present populations can be used to reconstruct the evolutionary and demographic history of lineages of mosquito vectors. These reconstructions can facilitate prediction of the movement and adaptation of modern mosquito populations and the development of interventions to prevent the spread of disease. On pages 1209 and 1208 of this issue, Boddé et al. (4) and Crawford et al. (5), respectively, report findings on the evolution of two mosquito vectors. Their results highlight the population health consequences of ancient and contemporary interactions between humans and deadly mosquitoes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
