Outbreaks of Rift Valley fever (RVF) in Egypt, Yemen, and Saudi Arabia have indicated the potential for this disease to spread from its enzootic areas in sub-Saharan Africa. Because little is known about the potential for most African mosquito species to transmit RVF virus (family Bunyaviridae, genus Phlebovirus, RVFV), we conducted studies to determine the vector competence of selected African...
متن کاملCoetzeemyia, a new subgenus of Aedes, and a redescription of the holotype female of Aedes (Coetzeemyia) fryeri (Theobald) (Diptera: Culicidae)

متن کاملUpdated checklist of the mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) of Belgium.
Most information about the systematics and bioecology of Belgian mosquitoes dates back from before 1950, and only scattered information was produced during the last decades. In this paper we review and update the list of mosquito species recorded in Belgium, from first report (1908) to 2015. Six genera and 31 species were recorded so far, including 28 autochthonous species and three invasive al...
