We compared the tolerance and the resistance to CFAV and the fitness of CFAV infected mosquitoes maintained under a hot (32 °C for 14 h and 26 °C for 10 h) thermal regime or our standard laboratory conditions (constant 28 °C). Mosquitoes were exposed to the hot thermal regime for either one or ten generations resulting in warm-acclimated and warm-evolved mosquitoes, respectively. Representative results of resistance, tolerance and mosquito fitness are shown in the bold frame “Created in BioRender (Agreement number CF27LQ941M). “.
