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 ...
Winter activity and diapause of Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae) in Hanoi, Northern Vietnam
(Oxford University Press on behalf of Entomological Society of America, 2015-08-18)
We studied the winter activity of Aedes albopictus (Skuse) from November 2008 to April
2009 in Bat Trang village of Hanoi, Vietnam. We selected 12 houses and collected: 1) adults with BG
sentinel traps, 2) pupae from ...
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 ...
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 ...
The Impact of Deforestation, Urbanization, and Changing Land Use Patterns on the Ecology of Mosquito and Tick-Borne Diseases in Central America
(MDPI, 2021)
Central America is a unique geographical region that connects North and South America,
enclosed by the Caribbean Sea to the East, and the Pacific Ocean to the West. This region, encom-
passing Belize, Costa Rica, ...
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 ...
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 ...
Peridomiciliary latrines and Phlebotominae sandfties (Diptera: Psychodidae) in a focus of Leishmaniasis in Costa Rica.
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 1991)
Las letrinas peridomiciliarias son sitios de reposo de flebótomos en Nazareth ( Guanacaste, Costa Rica). Un total de 622 individuos fueron colectados y clasificados en cuatro especies, Lutzomyia cayennensis (58 .. 68 %), ...
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 ...
