Abstract
We argue that using more natural blood feeding methods to study mosquito vector competence for dengue viruses and exploring the effect of viral infection on other mosquito life-history traits that influence vectorial capacity will significantly advance our understanding of dengue epidemiology.

Dengue disease is a growing public health burden in tropical and subtropical regions throughout the world
Studying the biology of mosquito vectors and their role in the transmission of dengue viruses is an active field of research that has generated important knowledge for our understanding of dengue epidemiology
We review some of the limitations that we think have hampered dengue research in the field of vector biology
Summary
Dengue disease is a growing public health burden in tropical and subtropical regions throughout the world. Studying the biology of mosquito vectors and their role in the transmission of dengue viruses is an active field of research that has generated important knowledge for our understanding of dengue epidemiology.
