A mechanistic understanding of phenology, the seasonal timing life history events, is important for species’ interactions and potential responses ecological communities to a rapidly changing climate. We present analysis seven-year dataset on breeding phenology wood frogs (Rana sylvatica), tiger salamanders (Ambystoma tigrinum), blue-spotted laterale), associated unisexual Ambystoma from six wet...

Introduction: Dengue is a serious public health problem worldwide, with cases reported annually in tropical and subtropical regions. Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus, 1762), the main vector of dengue, is a domiciliary species with high dispersal and survival capacities and can use various artificial containers as breeding sites. We assessed potential container breeding sites of A. aegypti in the municip...

the optimum dosage for field application bactimos (w.p.) was determined as 0.04g/m , when efficacy of four concentration of 0.01 , 0.02 , 0.04 and 0.08 gim2 were compared in 1 x i m2 artificial breeding sites. this dosage caused 69.8%, 55.6% and 43.6% anopheline and 83%, 47.8% and 29.7% culicine larval mortality, in 24.48% and 72 hrs post treatment, respectively. abate and fuel oil were signifi...

Like in most Pacific island countries, dengue is not endemic in Vanuatu, and so, dengue transmission begins with the introduction of the virus via infected humans or mosquitoes into the country. The Ministry of Health, Vanuatu, has been successful in containing dengue transmission whenever the virus has been introduced, through an integrated approach using vertical and horizontal components. Th...

This study aims to help expand knowledge on Aedes aegypti in Rio de Janeiro, based on spatial analysis of the mosquito’s breeding sites in the neighborhood of Ilha do Governador, Rio de Janeiro, from June 1992 to July 1994. Use of spatial analysis techniques is proposed for vector surveillance and control. Information obtained from the National Health Foundation shows which city blocks were pos...

Larval survey was carried out in 6 localities in the urban areas (Putrajaya) and suburban areas (Kuala Selangor) from January until December 2010. A total of 520 representative households in 6 localities were selected. Breeding habitats were sampled outdoors in the surroundings of housing areas. The study indicated that the most predominant species found in both areas was Aedes albopictus with ...
