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, ...
Density dependence in a seasonal time series of the bamboo mosquito, Tripteroides bambusa (Diptera: Culicidae)
(Entomological Society of Canada, 2017)
The bamboo mosquito, Tripteroides bambusa (Yamada) (Diptera: Culicidae), is a
mosquito species ubiquitous across forested landscapes in Japan. During 2014 we sampled adult
mosquitoes from May to November using a sweep ...
Density dependence, landscape, and weather impacts on aquatic Aedes japonicus japonicus (Diptera: Culicidae) abundance along an urban altitudinal Gradient
(Oxford University Press on behalf of Entomological Society of America, 2017-09-20)
The Asian Bush Mosquito, Aedes (Finlaya) japonicus japonicus (Theobald) is an important globally invasive
mosquito species. In comparison with other major invasive mosquitoes, relatively little is known about Ae. j. ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Seasonal weather, nutrients, and conspecific presence impacts on the southern house mosquito oviposition dynamics in combined sewage overflows
(Entomological Society of America, 2012-06-13)
Combined sewage overflows have created favorable conditions for the establishment
of the southern house mosquito, Culex quinquefasciatus Say (Diptera: Culicidae), larvae in natural
creeks that would otherwise be unsuitable ...
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 ...
