This paper reviews the recorded predators of all life stages of British mosquitoes and assesses their relative effectiveness in limiting mosquito populations. Predators vary markedly in the different habitats that immature and adult mosquitoes frequent, with representatives from at least six insect orders, thirteen arachnid families, as well as crustaceans, amphibians, fish, birds and mammals. ...

The gonotrophic cycle of mosquitoes conditions the frequency mosquito-human contacts. knowledge this important phenomenon in mosquito life is a fundamental element epidemiological analysis communicable disease such as mosquito-borne diseases.In work, we analyze deterministic model complete which takes into account principal phases female mosquitoes' cycle, and Sterile Insect technique combined ...

Mosquito vector transmit serious infectious diseases that include dengue, chikungunya, malaria, filariasis, leishmaniasis, Japanese encephalitis, west Nile fever, yellow fever and rift valley fever. Insecticides-based control measures have historically currently been an important approach against major mosquito-borne diseases. Chemical pesticides, on the other hand, are non-selective can harm b...

Singapore is known for its comprehensive vector control methods that keep mosquito populations at low levels in the urban, tropical, and green city-state. This report describes the measures taken by the National Environment Agency on the basis of observations of vector control and surveillance activities in residential areas, construction sites, and foreign worker quarters. The government-led a...

Mosquito larvae and their predators or pathogens expected to co-exist in every breeding habitat of mosquito ranging from small temporary sites to large permanent sites. Micro invertebrates are more common, prevalent and numerous than macro invertebrates in aquatic habitats. Micro invertebrates are important as food sources for macro invertebrates and fish (Gilbert and Burns, 1999; Hampton and G...

Heterogeneity in urban landscapes can influence the effectiveness of mosquito-borne disease control. We used remotely sensed vegetation indices to discriminate among mosquito habitats within a densely populated urban environment in New Haven, CT. ASTER derived vegetation indices were identified for 16 sites where adult mosquitoes were trapped over the summer of 2004. Canonical correlation analy...

The knowledge of the natural characteristics of the mosquito breeding habitats is important for implementing effective larval control program. For this, the association of six mosquito species (Culex pipiens, Cx. perexiguus, Cx. pusillus, Ochlerotatus caspius, Anopheles multicolor and Culiseta longiareolata) with the physical characteristics of their breeding habitats was examined in El-Muqatta...
