چکیده
to minimize this nuisance. This article attempts to relate the measures taken, with a brief description and a sketch of a mosquito-proof cap devised and fitted to drinking-water barrels and receptacles in the country craft, with which it is hoped to reduce the incidence of breeding of this potential carrier of yellow fever in the Port of Bombay. The danger of the spread 0 this disease to India is increased by the spee. , ing up of modern travel, and especially by aeria transport bringing its endemic centres in AfrlC'

A Practical Way of Dealing with Ædes Ægypti (Stegomyia Fasciata) Mosquito Breeding in Country Craft
the Port of Bombay then having been found useful was extended and is being continued with very gratifying results in as much as the percentage of breeding found up to 15th April, 1935, amounting to 51 per cent, has steadily diminished to close on 30 per cent after a year's working as can be seen from the following figures of monthly examinations up to the end of February 1936. They also show re...
متن کاملStochastic Population Methods in Analysis of Epidemics
Epidemics of infective diseases can be naturally regarded as a parade problem in population dynamics. Understanding the time–evolution and fundamental interactions of different subpopulations (infected, immune, carriers, etc.) is a key instrument to devise sustainable and effective treatments, as far as this is possible. In this application we will focus on vector diseases, i.e., infections (fr...

The global spread of the Asian tiger mosquito Aedes albopictus, an urban pest as well as a vector for arboviruses, is a threat for public health. As control measures include the use of insecticides such as the pyrethroid λ-cyhalothrin, it is crucial to assess their efficiency and their potential impact on the biodiversity especially under climate change conditions. To evaluate the environmental...

Individuals in families of Aedes (Stegomyia) mosquitoes reared from females collected at Kloof, KwaZulu-Natal, were identified as Aedes demeilloni or Aedes segermanae or were indeterminate because tarsal claw morphology, the distinguishing character, varied. Similarly, Aedes (Stegomyia) simpsoni and Aedes (Stegomyia) bromeliae reared from ovitraps exposed at Ndumu, northern KwaZulu-Natal, showe...
متن کاملCharacterization of Wolbachia infections and interspecific crosses of Aedes (Stegomyia) polynesiensis and Ae. (Stegomyia) riversi (Diptera: Culicidae).
Prior studies have identified a complicated pattern of interspecific hybridization between members of the Aedes (Stegomyia) scutellaris (Walker) mosquito group, which includes medically important vectors of bancroftian filariasis and dengue. Here, we report that two members of the group, Aedes polynesiensis Marks and Aedes riversi Bohart & Ingram, are both infected with intracellular Wolbachia ...
