Abstract

Mosquitoes are insects belonging to the order Diptera and family Culicidae. They are distributed worldwide and include approximately 3500 species, of which about 300 have medical and veterinary importance. The evolutionary success of mosquitoes, in both tropical and temperate regions, is due to the various survival strategies these insects have developed throughout their life histories. Of the many adaptive mechanisms, diapause and quiescence, two different types of dormancy, likely contribute to the establishment, maintenance and spread of natural mosquito populations. This review seeks to objectively and coherently describe the terms diapause and quiescence, which can be confused in the literature because the phenotypic effects of these mechanisms are often similar.

Figures

Fig. 1 Embryonic diapause induction in mosquitoes. 1 Exposure of pupae and/or adult females to short days, long nights and gradual temperature drop, and abiotic factors that promote the preparation of the embryonic diapause. 2 Expression of specific genes transferred from the female to the offspring allows diapause to be triggered and the embryos (pharate larvae) to become refractory to the hatching stimulus

Fig. 2 Termination of the embryonic diapause in the mosquito (post-diapause). 1 Return to normal conditions (temperature and photoperiod) that signal the end of diapause. 2 Post-diapause embryo under favorable conditions responds to the stimuli of relative humidity increase and optimal temperature in the environment, resulting in larval hatching. 3 Post-diapause embryo under non-favorable abiotic conditions is sensitive to environmental stimuli but remains dormant in a quiescent state (post-diapause quiescence) until the temperature and relative humidity become ideal for larval hatching. The dynamics of quiescence are the same as post-diapause quiescence

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
