Anopheles albimanus (Diptera: Culicidae) Ensemble Distribution Modeling: Applications for Malaria Elimination
(MDPI, 2022)In the absence of entomological information, tools for predicting Anopheles spp. presence can help evaluate the entomological risk of malaria transmission. Here, we illustrate how species distribution models (SDM) could ... -
Density dependence in a seasonal time series of the bamboo mosquito, Tripteroides bambusa (Diptera: Culicidae)
(Entomological Society of Canada, 2017)The bamboo mosquito, Tripteroides bambusa (Yamada) (Diptera: Culicidae), is a mosquito species ubiquitous across forested landscapes in Japan. During 2014 we sampled adult mosquitoes from May to November using a sweep ... -
Density dependence, landscape, and weather impacts on aquatic Aedes japonicus japonicus (Diptera: Culicidae) abundance along an urban altitudinal Gradient
(Oxford University Press on behalf of Entomological Society of America, 2017-09-20)The Asian Bush Mosquito, Aedes (Finlaya) japonicus japonicus (Theobald) is an important globally invasive mosquito species. In comparison with other major invasive mosquitoes, relatively little is known about Ae. j. ... -

First report of Lutzomyia (Psychodopygus) bispinosa Fairchild and Hertig (Diptera. Psychodidae) from Costa Rica.
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 1992)Lutzomyia bispinosa had been reported from Belize (Williams 1970), Guatemala (Portes et al. 1987). Honduras (Fairchild and Hertig 1959), Nicaragua (Fairchild an Hertig 1959) and Panamá (Fairchild and Hertig 1951) which ... -
Flebótomos de Costa Rica (Diptera Psychodidae)
(Museo Nacional de Costa Rica, 1985-03)Esta monografía pretende dar a conocer y ampliar los conocimientos existentes sobre los flebótomos de Costa Rica, desde el punto de vista de su taxonomía, su distribución en el territorio nacional, y de algunos aspectos ... -
Genetic variability among populations of the sand fly Lutzomyia (Lutzomyia) Longipalpis (Diptera: psychodidae) from Central America
(Entomological Society of America., 1998-03)Eleven Central American populations of Lutzomyia longipalpis (Lutz & Neiva) were analyzed for genetic variation at 16 enzyme loci. The aim was to study the genetic structure among populations within this region and to ... -
Hot temperatures can force delayed mosquito outbreaks via sequential changes in Aedes aegypti demographic parameters in autocorrelated environments
(Elsevier B.V, 2014)Aedes aegypti L. (Diptera: Culicidae) is a common pantropical urban mosquito, vector of dengue, Yellow Fever and chikungunya viruses. Studies have shown Ae. aegypti abundance to be associated with envi ronmental fluctuations, ... -
Increased adult Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus (Diptera: Culicidae) abundance in a dengue transmission hotspot, compared to a coldspot, within Kaohsiung City, Taiwan
(MDPI, 2018-08-13)The assumption that vector abundance differences might drive spatial and temporal heterogeneities in vector-borne disease transmission is common, though data supporting it is scarce. Here, we present data from two common ... -
Indices de similitud entre taxocenosis de t1ebótomos (Diptera: Psychodidae) en un área endémica de leishmaniasis cutánea en Costa Rica
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 1993-12-01)A comparison of diversity between eight Costa Rican taxocenosis of phlebotorninae sandflies was made with the Sorensen sirnilarity coefficient. Sites Agua Blanca-Chirraca (C = 0.68), Ceiba Este-Chirraca (C = 0.66), La ... -
Microflora asociada al gusano barrenador del ganado Cocliomyia hominovorax, coquerel (diptera calliphoridae) y a la miasis que causa
(Universidad Nacional (Costa Rica), 1996)Este estudio fue llevado a cabo en los meses de Setiembre a Diciembre de 1993 y de Julio a Noviembre de 1994. Durante la investigación se examinaron 10 miasis artificiales provocadas en ovejas, en la finca del Ministerio ... -
Mosquito (Diptera: Culicidae) species composition in ovitraps from a Mesoamerican Tropical Montane Cloud Forest
(Oxford University Press, 2018-08-20)Knowledge about mosquito species diversity at tropical montane cloud forests (TMCFs) in Mesoamerica is scarce. Here, we present data on mosquito species richness from samples biweekly collected, from January to December 2017, ... -
Mosquito species (Diptera: Culicidae) diversity from ovitraps in a Mesoamerican Tropical Rainforest
(Oxford University Press on behalf of Entomological Society of America, 2018-01-30)Mosquito sampling using efficient traps that can assess species diversity and/or presence of dominant vectors is important for understanding the entomological risk of mosquito-borne disease transmission. Here, we ... -
Mosquito Species (Diptera: Culicidae) Persistence and Synchrony Across an Urban Altitudinal Gradient
(Oxford University Press on behalf of Entomological Society of America, 2016)Patterns of mosquito spatial persistence and temporal presence, as well as synchrony, i.e., the degree of concerted fluctuations in abundance, have been scarcely studied at finely grained spatial scales and over altitudinal ... -
Nestedness patterns of sand fly (Diptera: Psychodidae) species in a neotropical semi-arid environment
(Elsevier, 2016)A common pattern in neotropical Leishmania spp. transmission is the co-occurrence of several sand fly (SF) species at endemic foci. We collected 13 SF spp. by direct aspiration in natural resting places (NRP) and 10 SF ... -
