Wingbeat Frequencies of Some Anopheline Mosquitoes of East Asia(Diptera : Culicidae)

The Anopheline Mosquitoes of India

Larval habitats and biodiversity of anopheline mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) in a malarious area of southern Iran.

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Malaria is the most important mosquito-borne disease in Iran. It is endemic in south to southeastern part of the country. Knowledge about bio-ecology of vectors will support authorities for appropriate management of the disease. Bashagard district is one of the main endemic areas for malaria in south of Iran. This study was conducted to determine anopheline fauna, divers...

Molecular Cytogenetics of some Anopheles Mosquitoes (Culicidae: Diptera)

Experimental work pertaining to the molecular cytogenetics of malaria vector species of mosquitoes by the application of PCR technique has been carried out. The main objectives of the study included the sequence characterization of nuclear rDNA internal transcribed spacers 1 and 2 (ITS1, ITS2) and mitochondrial DNA COII gene as potential molecular markers for studying genetic relatedness and ph...

Speeds and wingbeat frequencies of migrating birds

Hedenström and Alerstam (Hedenström and Alerstam, 1995) argued that different optimal air speeds can be identified for a migrating bird depending on whether the ‘currency’ that the bird is trying to maximise is distance per unit fuel energy used, average speed over one or several flight stages and stopovers, or various other possibilities. On the other hand, Alerstam and Hedenström (Alerstam an...

Review of the anopheline mosquitoes of Myanmar.

This study examined the species of anopheline mosquitoes in Myanmar. Out of 36 species of anophelines distributed throughout the country, ten species were found to be infected with the malaria parasite. These vectors are presented with particular reference to their distribution and a summary of bionomics and infection rates.
