宿主-病媒-寄生虫的相互作用清楚地说明了生物节律的适应价值。在这篇综述中，我们总结了目前有关昆虫媒介日常节律的一些信息，特别是那些负责将寄生虫传播给人类的媒介。所描述的案例包括采采蝇、吸血半翅目昆虫、蚊子和其他吸血昆虫的运动和飞行活动、羽化和产卵的昼夜节律。已发表的和新的数据，他们表明，疾病媒介昆虫的节奏的研究可以提供一个了解的时间生物学的生态学和应用科学的应用价值。与此相关，提出了基于其时间特性的昆虫控制策略的可能性;例如，杀虫剂的使用可以限制在昆虫对它们的敏感性增加的一天中的那些阶段。
The host-vector-parasite interaction offers a clear illustration of the adaptive value of biological rhythms. In this review, we summarise some of the information currently available on daily rhythms of insect vectors, particularly those responsible for the transmission of parasites to humans. Included amongst the cases described are circadian rhythms of locomotor and flight activity, and of eclosion and oviposition in tsetse flies, blood-sucking hemipterans, mosquitoes and other haematophagous insects. Both published and new data are presented, and they indicate that a study of the rhythms in disease-vector insects can provide an understanding of the value of this application of chronobiology to ecology and applied sciences. Related to this, the possibility of strategies for the control of insects based on their temporal characteristics is proposed; for example, the use of insecticides could be restricted to those phases of the day when the susceptibility of the insects to them is increased.
