Few studies focus on environment in its biological dimension, relating territorial/landscape alteration and human health, beyond pollution impact. The growing importance of risk factors in medicine and the new ecological advancements in Landscape Bionomics impose to deepen these studies. The landscape is a living entity, in which man and territory form a complex biological level of life organiz...

The systematics and bionomics of the Palaearctic brood parasitic genus Nipponodipogon Ishikawa, 1965 are revised. Seven species are listed. A new species N. sudai Shimizu, sp. nov. (Japan, Honshu) and the hitherto unknown males of N. iwatai (Ishikawa, 1965) and N. nagasei (Ishikawa, 1965) are described and illustrated. Six species from Japan and the Russian Far East are redescribed. A key to sp...

Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus) lanei Galvão and Amaral is here redescribed using morphological characteristics of adult, male and female, fourth instar larva and pupa. The larva, pupa, and male genitalia are illustrated. Diagnostic morphological characters of adults, male genitalia, fourth instar larva and pupa are provided to distinguish An. lanei from other species of the Argyritarsis section. Spe...

The distribution of Culiseta particeps (Adams) in California appears to be restricted in Califor-nia to the Pacific coastal areas and scattered patches in the Riverside and San Bernardino counties (Darsie and Ward 1981). However, Iit-tle information exists on the adult ecology and abundance of this species. Larvae have been found in marshes, margins of streams, residual pools in stream beds and...

Introduction: Dengue is one of the most important arboviral disease in Kerala. Development control measures mainly depends upon knowledge regarding bionomics mosquito. The larval indices are methods entomological surveillance, which can predict outbreak mosquito borne diseases. hospital premises need to be free and safe place for staff patients. Hence, present study was done calculate standardi...
