Abstract
⺠Leaf phytochemicals affect the interactions between Aedes aegypti and A. albopictus. ⺠Traits and CYP expression of both mosquitoes under leaf infusion were determined. ⺠Performance of both species in pine and maple was poorer than in others. ⺠Up regulation of CYP6Z6 and CYP9M9 correlates with toxicity of maple. ⺠Tolerating toxic phytochemicals by both mosquitoes are associated with a fitness cost.
