Detection of Mosquito Larval Antigens in a Natural Predator by Using a Simple Immunological Technique
A simple technique for seeking natural predators to mosquito larvae was developed. In the present study, adult backswimmers, a natural predator to mosquito larvae, were used as a model. The adult predators were fed with larvae and pupae of Aedes aegypti and tested for the presence of antigens of the mosquito larvae at 1, 2, 4, 6 and 24 hr thereafter. The test was performed using an immunologica...
متن کاملAlternative Mosquito Control Methods
As mosquitoes can transmit a number of diseases such as dengue fever, malaria, Japanese encephalitis, yellow fever etc., efforts have been made to control them. Control measures could be aimed at different stages of the insect in its life cycle. The measures can be classified as biological, environmental (physical) and chemical control. Integrated mosquito management approach should be adopted ...
متن کاملMosquito larval habitat model: a complete climate-driven approach
In biological modeling, accurate modeling of the life cycle of an organism needs to account for the complexity of the organism, as well as the interactions between the organism and its environment. Mosquitoes are an organism commonly modeled as a vector for disease transmission. A wide range of habitats, depending on species and location, make mosquitoes an interesting and challenging organism ...
متن کاملA review of spinosad as a natural product for larval mosquito control.
The effectiveness of spinosad for larval mosquito control is summarized based on available published literature and some heretofore unpublished studies. Spinosad is highly active against larvae of all mosquito species tested thus far. It is effective at similar dosages for all larval mosquito instars, with peak cumulative mortality occurring at 72 h posttreatment. More studies are needed to ful...
متن کاملA Present Value Approach to Analysing Residential Property
We adopt a simple Present Value (PV) methodology to investigate the interaction between interest rates, inflation and taxation on the fundamental value of residential real estate for a rational investor with varying degrees of risk-aversion. This approach allows the calculation of the fair present value of residential real estate from only a small number of macro-economic variables, and avoids ...
