Enzootic mosquito vector species at equine encephalitis transmission foci in the República de Panamá
(PLOS ONE, 2017-09-22)The identification of mosquito vector species present at arboviral enzootic transmission foci is important to understand transmission eco-epidemiology and to propose and implement prevention and control strategies that ... -
First description of the male and redescription of the female of Ixodes tapirus Kohls, 1956 (Acari: Ixodidae), a parasite of tapirs (Perissodactyla: Tapiridae) from the mountains of Colombia, Costa Rica and Panama
(Systematic Parasitology, 2017-02-07)The male of Ixodes tapirus Kohls, 1956 (Acari: Ixodidae) is described for the first time and the female is redescribed in greater detail. Adults of I. tapirus are similar to those of Ixodes guatemalensis Kohls, 1956, Ixodes ... -
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 ... -
