Malaria is a disease transmitted by female Anopheles mosquitoes to humans. Mosquitoes are carrier of malaria. There many types vector control strategies, including physical, chemical, and biological methods. Individuals, local communities, more organized public health management programs often need work together effectively identify mosquito farms. Efforts should be made destroy eggs reduce the...

Complex biophysical, social, and human behavioral factors influence population vulnerability to vector-borne diseases. Spatially and temporally dynamic environmental and anthropogenic patterns require sophisticated mapping and modeling techniques. While many studies use environmental variables to predict risk, human population vulnerability has been a challenge to incorporate into spatial risk ...

Community involvement in mosquito management programs provides more sustainable and effective organization and service. A door to door survey in Wayne County, NC carried out by student volunteers, resulted in 60 household responses. Residents had not previously experienced outreach from the county (88%), and 95% of them thought the student door to door survey was an effective form of outreach. ...

Inundation of dried emergent vegetation that has been knocked down using heavy equipment is a vegetation management strategy that provides an inexpensive source of supplemental organic carbon to stimulate denitrification, a process important for nitrate removal in constructed treatment wetlands. The abundance of larval mosquitoes (Culex sp. and Culiseta sp.) in multipurpose constructed wetlands...

The role of octenol as a mosquito attractant is still under investigation. When used alone, octenol has been a good attractant for only a few species. However, there appears to be a synergistic response of species of the genera Aedes, Anopheles, Coquillettidia, Psorophora, and Mansonia to the combination of octenol and CO2. Further research is required to determine the potential role of this co...

Introduction: The emergence of resistance development in mosquitoes is a huge challenge for successful vector control programmes. Insecticides used mainly target the eradication population but often neglect their residual and long-time effect on surviving population. Methods: In this study, Aedes albopictus were selected with sublethal doses lambda-cyhalothrin its effects life parameters major ...

the  frequency of  allergic diseases such  as allergic rhinitis is considerable in general population. insect aeroallergens are important allergens which can induce airway inflammation. the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of sensitization to insect aeroallergens in allergic rhinitis patients in yazd as a desert city in iran. a cross-sectional study was undertaken on 95 allergi...
