Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.Larval indices, especially house infestation index (HI) and breteau index (BI), were significantly associated with temperature and precipitation, indicating that warmer and wetter conditions increase Aedes aegypti breeding‐site positivity. Adult indices, trap positivity index (TPI) and adult density index (ADI) showed no significant association with ...

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.Bauxite mining in the Amazon alters mosquito communities, favouring anthropophilic and generalist vectors while reducing species diversity and the variety of blood meal sources. Molecular analyses identified humans, tapirs and deer as the primary blood meal sources.

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.Addition of Asaia species to the rearing water of mosquito larvae can affect the structure of the larval microbiome, although these bacteria do not persist to the pupal stage. Asaia inoculation can increase the adult size of males of two mosquito species. The impact of Asaia inoculation on development rate and female size depended on bacterial and host

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.The effect of temperature on oviposition activity is not uniform across time. Heat stress exerts delayed population‐level impacts. Moderate temperatures favour population development while both low and high temperatures impose constraints. The delayed negative effect of warm temperatures, peaking at 2–3 weeks rather than immediately.

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.Aedes aegypti females were allowed to feed, through an artificial feeder, on rabbit blood pre‐collected and defibrinated or treated with anticoagulants heparin or sodium citrate. The efficiency in producing a high percentage of engorged females and great fecundity and egg viability rates was compared among blood treatments and with females feeding ...

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.Bat flies such as Phthiridium biarticulatum Hermann are haematophagous ectoparasites of bats. Phthiridium biarticulatum was last recorded in the United Kingdom in 1959 and was considered regionally extinct. We report the presence of P. biarticulatum on Lesser Horseshoe Bats Rhinolophus hipposideros (Bechstein) across South West England.
