Potential of selected Senegalese Aedes spp. mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) to transmit Zika virus
BMC Infectious Diseases, 2015 BackgroundZika virus (ZIKV; genus Flavivirus, family Flaviviridae) is an emerging virus of medical importance maintained in a zoonotic cycle between arboreal Aedes spp. mosquitoes and nonhuman primates in African and Asian forests.

The Culicidae of the Cambridge District
Parasitology, 1939 1. The mosquito fauna of the Cambridge district, which includes a large stretch of cultivated fenland, is compared with that of the “natural” fen at Wicken and also with that of other districts.2. The ecology of the various species is discussed and the conclusion is reached that the main factor determining why different species are found in different ...

Lords of the flies: dipteran migrants are diverse, abundant and ecologically important
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 4, Page 1635-1659, August 2025.ABSTRACT Insect migrants are hugely abundant, with recent studies identifying the megadiverse order Diptera as the major component of many migratory assemblages. Despite this, their migratory behaviour has been widely overlooked in favour of more ‘charismatic’ migrant insects such as butterflies, dragonflies, and moths.

Evolution of the Heme Peroxidases of Culicidae (Diptera) [PDF]
Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2012 Phylogenetic analysis of heme peroxidases (HPXs) of Culicidae and other insects revealed six highly conserved ancient HPX lineages, each of which originated by gene duplication prior to the most recent common ancestor (MRCA) of Hemimetabola and Holmetabola.

The role of larval density and food availability in life‐history traits of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 8, Page 892-902, August 2025.We investigated the effects of competition (food availability and larval density) on Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) mortality and development. Food had a more pronounced effect on mortality and development time than density, but density had a higher impact on adult size and lifespan.

Multiple mating is not driven by size and sperm management in black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens)
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 8, Page 815-825, August 2025.We investigated mating in black soldier fly (BSF), Hermetia illucens (Diptera: Stratiomyidae), an important source of animal feed. The number of spermatozoa stored in the spermathecae of females does not change after one, two and three matings of the male. BSF males and females mate multiple times under controlled conditions. The number of sperm in the

Further notes on African Culicidae
Bulletin of Entomological Research, 1913 The following notes consist of corrections and additions to my previous papers on African Culicidae. Several errors have become apparent, due either to carelessness or insufficient study of the material available, or insufficiency of the material itself. These are corrected.
