ECOLOGICAL INTERACTIONS AFFECTING THE ROLE OF MOSQUITO LARVAE ON DENGUE VIRUS TRANSMISSION Jeffrey J. Bara November 16,2012 In the course of their life cycle, mosquitoes undergo an ontogenetic niche shift; immature larval development occurs within an aquatic habitat from which adult mosquitoes subsequently disperse into the terrestrial environment. While adult female mosquitoes transmit dengue to humans, the larval stage influences dengue virus transmission significantly in several ways. The biotic and abiotic conditions in which larvae develop influence epidemiologically important aspects of adult life history and influence the geographic distribution of mosquito species. Through vertical transmission, mosquitoes may serve as reservoir hosts for dengue during periods that are unfavorable for transmission to humans. For my dissertation, I conducted research that investigated how environmental conditions experienced by larvae influence dengue transmission both directly and indirectly. In chapter 1, I experimentally infected Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus larvae to determine their susceptibility to dengue and evaluate the potential for horizontal
