Mosquito is the deadliest animal on the planet. Not by itself, but because it can transmit life-threatening diseases to humans such as malaria, yellow fever, dengue, ZIKA, chikungunya… The usual way to control the mosquito population is to spray with pesticides; however mosquito populations are becoming more and more resistant to these molecules, and pesticides have well-documented adverse effects on human health, wildlife and the environment. Researchers have been advocating for decades to develop more sustainable control methods, based on the understanding of the ecology of the mosquito. One promising strategy is the use of the sterile insect technique, but to be used efficiently, this strategy requires a deep understanding of the courting and mating interactions between the male and female mosquito. During the mating sequence, mosquitoes communicate using sounds. The male actually modify its flying sound in order to match that of the female! This phenomenon likely affects how the female chooses her partner, and if this in turn affect her offspring. A better understanding of mosquito ecology will allow us to change the paradigm in mosquito control, from the exclusive use of short-term lethal pesticides to the integration of the mosquito in its ecosystem, and the use of its ecology to prevent disease transmission.
