background: ecological data are important in the vector control management of mosquitoes. there is scattered pub­lished information about the larval habitat characteristics and ecology of the genus anopheles (diptera: culicidae) in iran and most of available data is in relation to malaria vectors in southern iran. methods: this cross sectional investigation was carried out to study the mosquito...

BACKGROUND Mosquitoes are considered as the vectors of dirofilariasis and some vector borne disease in Iran. The objective of this study was to determine the susceptibility level of the vectors to various insecticides recommended by WHO for any control measures in an endemic area in northwestern Iran. METHODS Mosquito larval and adult collections were carried out using different methods provi...

Abstract In many European countries, cemeteries are found to be suitable habitats for the proliferation of native and invasive mosquito species. The study aimed assess first time in Poland suitability urban larvae development water supply wells. From May September 2019 three Wroclaw (SW Poland), a total 757 inspection wells were carried out. development, expressed as general container index (GC...

Mosquitoes are the most important vectors that can transmit many diseases agents to humans and animals. This study was conducted in Edirne central district between July 2017 2018 identify vector mosquito species, determine their seasonality distribution pattern general terms. Larvae, pupae, adults were collected from areas assessed as being particularly suitable for medically species included g...

Characteristics of mosquito larval habitats are important in determining whether they can survive and successfully complete their developmental stages. Therefore, data on the ecological factors affecting mosquito density and abundance especially the physicochemical properties of water of their breeding sites, can possibly be helpful in implementing larval management programs. Mosquito larvae we...

1. St. Louis virus has been successfully transmitted in the laboratory by the following 9 species of mosquitoes from 3 genera: Culex tarsalis, Culex pipiens, Culex coronator, Aedes lateralis, Aedes taeniorhynchus, Aedes vexans, Aedes nigromaculis, Theobaldia incidens, and Theobaldia inornata. 2. Though transmission has not been demonstrated, survival of the virus for more than a few days was sh...
