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, ...
Serosurvey in two rural areas evidences recent and previously undetected WNV and SLEV circulation in Costa Rica
(medRxiv preprint, 2021-09-13)
West Nile virus (WNV) and Saint Louis encephalitis virus (SLEV) share similar virus transmission cycles that involve birds as amplifiers and mosquitoes as vectors. Mammals, including humans, are dead-end-hosts that may be ...
Nonlinear impacts of climatic variability on the density dependent regulation of an insect vector of disease
(Blackwell, 2011-09)
Aedes aegypti is one of the most common urban tropical mosquito species and an important vector of dengue,
chikungunya, and yellow fever viruses. It is also an organism with a complex life history where larval stages ...
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 ...
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, ...
Detección de virus dengue, chikungunya y Zika, y variabilidad genética de larvas Aedes aegypti en Costa Rica
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2023)
Estudiar la diversidad de mosquitos en una región permite monitorear la aparición de
especies nuevas, brinda información sobre la composición de una comunidad de
insectos, y ayuda a monitorear la estabilidad de un ...
Presencia de los virus dengue, chikungunya y Zika y los haplotipos de larvas de Aedes albopictus en Costa Rica
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2023)
Las enfermedades ocasionadas por el virus de dengue (DENV), Zika virus (ZIKV) y
virus de chikungunya (CHIKV) son trasmitidas, entre otros, por Aedes albopictus en
forma horizontal a los humanos, a través de la picadura ...
