To evaluate the influence of larval density in development of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes we evaluated three different densities. It was observed that conditions of high larval density and shortage of food produced a reduction in the size of adults and increased mortality rate of Aedes aegypti in laboratory conditions.

Animal feed pellets containing lupin seed or alfalfa were added to ovitraps set in Cairns, Australia. Although they collected fewer Aedes eggs than Centers for Disease Control enhanced ovitraps, they did outperform tap water alone. A wooden tongue depressor collected comparable number of Aedes eggs as a Masonite board and seed germination paper.

Allocation patterns of carbon and nitrogen in animals are influenced by food quality and quantity, as well as by inherent metabolic and physiological constraints within organisms. Whole body stoichiometry also may vary between the sexes who differ in development rates and reproductive allocation patterns. In aquatic containers, such as tree holes and tires, detrital inputs, which vary in amount...

A Geographic Information System (GIS) was used as analysis tool to study the spatial distribution of dengue virus-infected Aedes mosquitos in Thailand. Global Positioning System (GPS) instruments were used to map villages involved in dengue epidemiological studies in Ratchaburi Province, Thailand. Differentially processed GPS data, with a spatial resolution of approximately 1 meter, were incorp...

This study was carried out to know about the various species of mosquito in Surguja district during June 2021 May 2022. Larvae and adult mosquitoes were also studied currently. In this study, 15 belonging a total 3 genera found which are as follows Aedes, Culex and, Anopheles (64.39%) highly hegemonic followed by (25.07%) Aedes (10.52%) respectively. albopictus, Culex. Quinquefasciatus complete...

Abstrak. Nyamuk berperan langsung dalam penyebaran berbagai penyakit tular vektor di negara tropis. Tiga genus nyamuk utama Indonesia adalah Aedes, Culex, dan Anopheles. Kabupaten Jembrana, Provinsi Bali merupakan daerah endemis untuk DBD, malaria maupun filariasis. Jembrana masih melaporkan kasus DBD serta tahap pemberian obat pencegahan massal filariasis pada tahun 2020. Pengendalian dipengar...
