Anopheles gambiae s.s. Giles (Diptera: Culicidae), the primary African malaria vector, has been characterized at the subspecies level in Madagascar, where only the molecular form S and haplotype gIA occur. The haplotype gIC proposed by other authors was not observed amongst the 35 mosquito genomes sequenced. These S/gIA characteristics are also found on the Comoros archipelago and in continenta...

OBJECTIVE To compare the Culicidae fauna in forest, ecotone and anthropic environments and to analyze their composition according to the number of species and individuals, species richness, diversity, heterogeneity and similarities and to determine species dominance and the relationship between species dominance and climatic factors. METHODS CO2 -baited CDC light traps were used for mosquito ...

Two important vectors of malaria in Africa, Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles arabiensis (Diptera: Culicidae), often occur sympatrically and cannot be distinguished morphologically. A chemical method was developed to identify individual laboratory-reared adult males or females of either species by extraction and analysis of cuticular components with gas chromatography. Statistically significant d...

A new species of fungus belonging to the lethal genus Coelomomyces, C. neotropicus, is described and illustrated. It was found parasitizing larvae of two species of Culicidae, Culex pilosus and Aedes sp., in a lowland tropical wet forest swamp in northeast Costa Rica.

A survey of adult mosquitoes in the area Palmar dam, Uruguay, was conducted from October 1980 to March 1981, prior filling reservoir. The Culicidae fauna consisted 22 species 7 genera: Aedeomyia Theobald, Aedes Meigen, Anopheles Culex Linnaeus, Mansonia Blanchard, Psorophora Robineau-Desvoidy and Uranotaenia Lynch-Arribálzaga; most diverse genera being (subgenus Ochlerotatus Lynch-Arribálzaga),...

Abstract The subgenus Culex L. includes species involved in summer–autumn arbovirus transmission but studies during winter are scarce temperate Argentina. Female specimens were collected host-seeking at dry-ice-baited traps autumn–winter–spring two sites Córdoba City 2016 and 2017. morphologically identified dissected to determine the follicular developmental stage (gonotrophic activity). Femal...

Mosquito-borne diseases affect millions of people and cause thousands deaths yearly. Vaccines have been hitherto insufficient to mitigate them, which makes mosquito control the most viable approach. But vector depends on correct species identification geographical assignment, taxonomic characters mosquitoes are often inconspicuous non-taxonomists, restricted a life stage and/or even damaged. Th...

b a ckground: several important diseases are transmitted by mosquitoes. despite of the potential of the occurrence of some mosquito-borne diseases such as west nile, dirofilariasis and malaria in the region, there is no recent study of mosquitoes in west azerbaijan province. the aim of this investigation was to study the fauna, composition and dis- tribution of mosquitoes and the characteristic...
