Molecular biological characterisation of amplified esterases from organophosphate resistant and susceptible 'Culex quinquefasciatus'. [PDF]
Culex mosquitoes, as well as being vectors of filariasis and Japanese encephalitis, are a world wide biting nuisance. Organophosphorus insecticides (OPs) have been widely used to control Culex populations.

The effect of constant temperatures on the development time from first instar to adult emergence was studied in Culex eduardoi Casal & García reared at 7, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 or 33°C. Data were adjusted to the linear degree-day model and the nonlinear

Loss of protection with insecticide-treated nets against pyrethroid-resistant Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes once nets become holed: an experimental hut study. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: An important advantage of pyrethroid-treated nets over untreated nets is that once nets become worn or holed a pyrethroid treatment will normally restore protection. The capacity of pyrethroids to kill or irritate any mosquito that comes into

Enhanced West Nile virus surveillance in the North Kent marshes, UK. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: As part of efforts to more fully understand the potential risks posed by West Nile virus (WNV) and Usutu virus (USUV) in the UK, and following on from previous reports of a potential bridge vector Culex modestus for these viruses, at wetland ...

Screening mosquito house entry points as a potential method for integrated control of endophagic filariasis, arbovirus and malaria vectors. [PDF]
BACKGROUND\ud \ud Partial mosquito-proofing of houses with screens and ceilings has the potential to reduce indoor densities of malaria mosquitoes. We wish to measure whether it will also reduce indoor densities of vectors of neglected tropical diseases.\

The entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana reduces instantaneous blood feeding in wild multi-insecticide-resistant Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes in Benin, West Africa. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Mosquito-borne diseases are still a major health risk in many developing countries, and the emergence of multi-insecticide-resistant mosquitoes is threatening the future of vector control.
