Resumen
The circadian clock of mosquitoes can influence physiological and behavioral processes linked to
disease transmission. Currently, we know how clock genes are expressed in the head of the Aedes
aegypti in different light and temperature regimens, but we still do not know anything about the
expression of these genes in the body. The present work aims to contribute to this understanding.
We observed that the expression of clock genes in the body of Aedes can be different from that in
the head. Additionally, we found that temperature cycles have greater influence on the clock genes
of the body of Aedes than light/dark cycles.
