Environmental forcing shapes regional house mosquito synchrony in a warming temperate island
(BioOne, 2013)Seasonal changes in the abundance of exothermic organisms can be expected with climate change if warmer temperatures can induce changes in their phenology. Given the increased time for ectothermic organism development ... -
Enzootic mosquito vector species at equine encephalitis transmission foci in the República de Panamá
(PLOS ONE, 2017-09-22)The identification of mosquito vector species present at arboviral enzootic transmission foci is important to understand transmission eco-epidemiology and to propose and implement prevention and control strategies that ... -
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, ... -
Indian Ocean Dipole drives malaria resurgence in East African highlands
(SCIENTIFIC REPORTS, 2012-02-16)Malaria resurgence in African highlands in the 1990s has raised questions about the underlying drivers of the increase in disease incidence including the role of El-Nin ̃o-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). However, climatic ... -
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 ... -
Snakebites are associated with poverty, weather fluctuations and El Niño
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2015-09-11)Snakebites are environmental and occupational health hazards that mainly affect rural populations worldwide. The ectothermic nature of snakes raises the issue of how climate change’s impact on snake ecology could ... -
Variations in the temperature-humidity index and dorsal fat thickness during the last trimester of gestation and early postpartum period affect fertility of Bos indicus cows in the tropics
(Hindawi, 2018-07-24)In order to measure the infuence of the temperature-humidity index (THI) and the variation of fat thickness on reproductive performance, ninety-two Bos indicus cows kept under grazing conditions were used in two farms in ...
