Insecticides and mosquito-borne disease
Nature, 2000Insecticide resistance in mosquitoes can also interfere with developing parasites. The primary means of controlling mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria and filariasis is still by residual spraying with insecticides. Here we show that insecticide-resistant Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes are less likely to transmit filariasis than their ...

Current Problems in Pediatric and Adolescent Health Care, 2009
Despite centuries of control efforts, mosquito-borne diseases are flourishing worldwide. With a disproportionate effect on children and adolescents, these conditions are responsible for substantial global morbidity and mortality. Malaria kills more than 1 million children annually, chiefly in sub-Saharan Africa. Dengue virus has expanded its range over

An Innovation in Mosquito-borne Disease Protection
Military Medicine, 1972Abstract : Past experience has shown that there is a great need to protect the individual combat soldier from vector-borne diseases. Because of the unique problems encountered in combat, personal protection of the individual has proven to be the most practical means of reducing vectored diseases.

Mosquitoes are flies in the insect family Culicidae which are the primary arthropod vectors of human diseases worldwide. They are particularly known as vectors of the agents of malaria, yellow fever, dengue, and filariasis in tropical countries. This chapter explores the biology, ecology, and disease relationships of mosquitoes, including discussion of

The palaeogeography of mosquito-borne disease
Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 1983Malaria parasites Plasmodiidae and their evolutionary precursors (Haemoproteidae arc found in reptiles, birds and mammals. The distribution of reptile plasmodiids relative to the former Panamanian portal suggests an origin in the very early Tertiary at the latest. Fossil vectors are known from the Lower Cretaceous.
