BACKGROUND This study aimed to identify and determine the larval and adult mosquitoes (Culicidae) fauna in Hamedan County, western Iran. METHODS It was a cross-sectional study which took place in four area of the Hamedan County. Sampling methods for larvae, pupae and adults were dipping, hand catch, night catch and total catch. Larvae and adult mosquitoes collected and were sent to laboratory...

A survey of the Anopheles species of Western Province, Papua New Guinea, was made in April-May 1992. A total of 6,427 specimens was collected from 74 sites within the province using carbon dioxide-baited light traps and larval sampling. Eleven species were identified using morphological characteristics, allozyme analysis, and species-specific DNA probes. These were, in order of prevalence: Anop...

The current study was aimed to investigate on dynamics of propoxur resistance in Anopheles gambiae s.l. populations from N’ dali district northern Benin (West Africa) and also malathion s. l. Toffo southern Benin. Larvae pupae l . mosquitoes were collected the breeding sites Borgou Atlantic departments 2015 2019. WHO susceptibility tests conducted unfed female aged 2-5 days old. bioassays perfo...

The southern districts of Odisha State in east-central India have been highly endemic for falciparum malaria for many decades. However, there is no adequate information on the abundance of the vector species or their bionomics in relation to space and time in these districts. Therefore, a study was carried out on the entomological aspects of malaria transmission to generate such information. Co...

three media formulated from molasses and cornsteep liquor and another media based on the basal medium formulation of ips-82 were assessed for the growth and production of insecticidal properties of b. thuringiensis h-14 .• bacterial powders prepared from the broth cultures were assayed against the larvae of culex pipiens and anopheles stephensi. a standard powder of ips-82 was included in the a...

In this study, the effects of strain Beauveria bassiana (LPSC 1067) as an endophyte in corn plants on consumption, fecundity, and food preference of Dichroplus maculipennis were examined. We observed that the daily consumption by grasshoppers fed with control plants was almost twice that of those that were fed treated plants. Significant differences in fecundity of grasshoppers that were fed wi...

Anopheles gambiae s.l. and Anopheles funestus Giles are the primary vectors of malaria in East Africa. Identification of host-location olfactory cues may increase trap sensitivity for vector control and surveillance programs. Solid-state army miniature light traps were operated near sleeping humans in huts at night without lights and augmented with the potential attractants: L-lactic acid, Limb...
