Timing matters in host
Timing & transmission
Does timing matter to
the mosquito?
Indirect consequences
to parasites?
What are
the fitness
consequences
of timing
to mosquitos?

-No difference in mortality

-Increased longevity

Vézilier (2012) Proc. R. Soc. B
Timing matters directly to parasites
in the host
Timing also matters indirectly through its effect on mosquitos
Transmission
potential could
depend on when
the vector is infected
Mosquito
adaptation
to bed-nets
Parasite
adaptation
