Fine-scale variation in vector host use and force of infection drive localized patterns of West Nile virus transmission
(PLOS ONE, 2011-08-19)
The influence of host diversity on multi-host pathogen transmission and persistence can be confounded by the large
number of species and biological interactions that can characterize many transmission systems. For ...
New and common haplotypes shape genetic diversity in Asian tiger mosquito populations from Costa Rica and Panama
(Oxford University Press, 2015)
The Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus (Skuse) (Diptera: Culicidae), is a vector of sev eral human pathogens. Ae. albopictus is also an invasive species that, over recent years, has expanded its
range out of its native ...
Globally invasive, withdrawing at home: Aedes albopictus and Aedes japonicus facing the rise of Aedes flavopictus
(Springer, 2016)
It has been suggested that climate change may have
facilitated the global expansion of invasive disease vectors,
since several species have expanded their range as tempera tures have warmed. Here, we present results from ...
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 ...
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 ...
Estudio de la actividad larvicida y la composición fitoquímica asociada de extractos de plantas para el control del mosquito Aedes aegypti.
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2021)
El mosquito Aedes aegypti es vector de diversas enfermedades tropicales como lo son el
dengue, Zika, chikungunya, Mayaro y fiebre amarilla, las cuales cobran la vida de cientos de
personas cada año, principalmente en ...
