چکیده
Immature stages of Anopheles bellator and of An. argyritarsis were found in artificial containers. The great number of on-returnable containers now produced, may be playing an important role in the increase in the number of available breeding places for culicid mosquitoes.

Relationships between mosquito densities in artificial container habitats, land use and temperature in the Kapiti-Horowhenua region, New Zealand
Land-use change, including deforestation for agriculture and urbanisation, has coincided with increases in vector-borne diseases worldwide. Landuse change is likely to regulate immature (larvae and pupae) mosquito populations through changes in local temperatures owing to manifold changes to the physical environment. however, we still poorly understand the relationship between land use, water t...
متن کاملEvaluation of two dipping methods for sampling immature Culex and Ochlerotatus mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) from artificial containers
Monitoring changes in populations of immature (larvae and pupae) mosquitoes are fundamental to determining mosquito-borne disease risk. Dipping is the most common method used to sample immature mosquitoes, but it can be biased towards particular species and instars. We aimed to assess the generality of the findings of Mori (1989), who showed that stirring the water of artificial containers gave...

متن کاملNotes on the biology of Orthopodomyia in Illinois.
The principal habitats of immature Orthopodomyia alba and Orthopodomyia signifera are tree holes, though they are occasionally encountered in artificial containers. We collected 929 Or. alba and 17 Or. signifera from 2 plastic trash cans, 2 scrap tires, and a tree hole. All collections were made in an urban residential area in central Illinois.

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...
