Why has the expansion of women’s economic and political rights coincided with economic development? This paper investigates this question by focusing on a key economic right for women: property rights. The basic hypothesis is that the process of development (i.e., capital accumulation and declining fertility) exacerbated the tension in men’s conflicting interests as husbands versus fathers, ult...

two strains of anopheles atroparvus, one resistant and another sceptible to ddt and two of anopheles stephensi, one resistant and one susceptible to ddt were tested for their irritability to ddt. various laboratory investigations of the effects of insecticides on mosquito behavior and their irritability were carried out. in these series of experiments a comparison was made between the results o...

Based on the results of comparative analyses of 1,039 specimens of several progenies of Anopheles nuneztovarifrom three localities in Colombia, eight costal wing spot patterns were observed. Patterns I and III were the most frequent: 77.96% and 11.36%, respectively. Using the diagnostic characters ratio of the length of the basal dark area of hind tarsomere II/length of hind tarsomere II, ratio...

aim: this study investigates the intraspecific competition, for food and density amongst larvae of anopheles stephensi (main malaria vector in south iran). material & methods: the effects of 4 selected food quantities (1x,2x,4x,6x) and 5 larval densities (0.1 to 3 larva/cm2) were tested individually or in combination on 7 biological indexes of the vector and the results were statistically ...

David Stephens and colleagues describe their experience of treating patients with Ebola virus disease at Emory University in the United States.

Updated information on the distribution of Anopheles in the Valencian Autonomous Region of Eastern Spain is presented. Larval surveys over a four year period (20052008) detected seven species, all in the subgenus Anopheles, namely Anopheles algeriensis, An. atroparvus, An. claviger, An. maculipennis, An. marteri, An. petragnani and An. plumbeus. Distribution, biology and ecology of each are dis...

Morphological analysis of anopheline mosquitoes from Kasane, Botswana, revealed a new species, Anopheles seretsei, that is closely related to Anopheles azevedoi and Anopheles listeri. A description of the type locality and biological characteristics of An. seretsei is given. Comparisons are made with An. listeri and An. azevedoi. The banding patterns of the giant polytene chromosomes of An. ser...
