- Adult mosquito mortality is commonly treated as constant with age in malaria control models. — Malaria control and senescence: the importance of accounting for the pace and shape of aging in wild mosquitoes
- Wild and semi-wild Anopheles gambiae can exhibit age-dependent mortality despite high overall mortality. — Malaria control and senescence: the importance of accounting for the pace and shape of aging in wild mosquitoes
- Laboratory evidence has challenged the assumption that mosquito mortality is age-independent. — Malaria control and senescence: the importance of accounting for the pace and shape of aging in wild mosquitoes
- The key uncertainty is whether senescence can be detected in wild mosquitoes because most die young from extrinsic hazards. — Malaria control and senescence: the importance of accounting for the pace and shape of aging in wild mosquitoes
- Strong age-dependent mortality is most apparent in longer-lived mosquito cohorts. — Malaria control and senescence: the importance of accounting for the pace and shape of aging in wild mosquitoes
