Leishmaniasis sand fly vector density reduction is less marked in destitute housing after insecticide thermal fogging
(BioMed Central, 2013)
Background: Insecticide thermal fogging (ITF) is a tool to control vector borne diseases. Insecticide application
success for vector control has been associated with housing materials and architecture. Vector abundance ...
Macroecological patterns of American Cutaneous Leishmaniasis transmission across the health areas of Panamá (1980–2012)
(Elsevier B.V, 2016-03-18)
American Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (ACL) is a neglected vector-borne zoonosis that persists despite increasing socio-economic development and urbanization in Panamá. Here, we investigate the association between environmental ...
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 ...
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 ...
