Molecular biological characterisation of amplified esterases from organophosphate resistant and susceptible 'Culex quinquefasciatus'. [PDF]

open access: yes
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.

Temperature Effects on the Immature Development Time of Culex eduardoi Casal & García (Diptera: Culicidae)

open access: yes, 2011
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]

open access: yes, 2008
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]

open access: yes, 2015
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 ...

Multiple insecticide resistance mechanisms in Anopheles gambiae and Culex quinquefasciatus from Benin, West Africa.

open access: yes, 2007
Because free-insecticide treated net distribution is planned in Benin (West Africa) during the next few years, we investigated the type, frequency and distribution of insecticide resistance mechanisms in Anopheles gambiae and Culex quinquefasciatus ...

Screening mosquito house entry points as a potential method for integrated control of endophagic filariasis, arbovirus and malaria vectors. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
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.\

Redescription of Culex (Culex) dolosus (Lynch Arribálzaga)(Diptera: Culicidae), based on specimens from Pico do Itapeva, Serra da Mantiqueira, São Paulo, Brazil

open access: yes, 2008
Culex (Culex) dolosus (Lych Arribálzaga, 1891) is re-described and compared with Cx. eduardoi Casal & Garcia (1968) based on morphological characteristics.

Historical applications of induced sterilisation in field populations of mosquitoes. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Research on sterile mosquito technology from 1955 to the 1980s provided a substantial body of knowledge on propagation and release of sterile mosquitoes.

The entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana reduces instantaneous blood feeding in wild multi-insecticide-resistant Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes in Benin, West Africa. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
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.
