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 ...
Overwintering in the Bamboo Mosquito Tripteroides bambusa (Diptera: Culicidae) during a warm, but unpredictably changing, winter
(Oxford University Press on behalf of Entomological Society of America, 2018)
The bamboo mosquito, Tripteroides bambusa (Yamada) (Diptera: Culicidae), is a common insect across forested
landscapes in Japan. Several studies have reported its overwintering as larvae and eggs, in both natural ...
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 ...
Epidemiological characteristics and space-time analysis of the 2015 dengue outbreak in the metropolitan region of Tainan City, Taiwan
(MDPI, 2018-02-26)
The metropolitan region of Tainan City in southern Taiwan experienced a dengue outbreak
in 2015. This manuscript describes basic epidemiological features of this outbreak and uses spatial
and temporal analysis tools to ...
Trypanosoma cruzi Infection in Rhodnius pallescens (Heteroptera: Reduviidae) Infesting Coyol Palms in the Dry Arch of Panamá
(Oxford University Press on behalf of Entomological Society of America, 2018-02-07)
Ecoepidemiological scenarios for Trypanosoma cruzi Chagas transmission are partially shaped by kissing bug
vector ecology. The presence of Attalea butyracea Kunth, the ‘royal palm’, is a major risk factor for Chagas ...
