  abstract = {{C}ancer is a major public health issue and represents a significant burden in countries with different levels of economic wealth. {I}n parallel, mosquito-borne infectious diseases represent a growing problem causing significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. {A}cknowledging that these two concerns are both globally distributed, it is essential to investigate whether they have a reciprocal connection that can fuel their respective burdens. {U}nfortunately, very few studies have examined the link between these two threats. {T}his review provides an overview of the possible links between mosquitoes, mosquito-borne infectious diseases and cancer. {W}e first focus on the impact of mosquitoes on carcinogenesis in humans including the transmission of oncogenic pathogens through mosquitoes, the immune reactions following mosquito bites, the presence of non-oncogenic mosquito-borne pathogens, and the direct transmission of cancer cells. {T}he second part of this review deals with the direct or indirect consequences of cancer in humans on mosquito behaviour. {T}hirdly, we discuss the potential impacts that natural cancers in mosquitoes can have on their life history traits and therefore on their vector capacity. {F}inally, we discuss the most promising research avenues on this topic and the integrative public health strategies that could be envisioned in this context.},
