Spatial and temporal dynamics of malaria transmission in rural western Kenya [PDF]
, 2012 : BACKGROUND: Understanding the impact of reducing Plasmodium falciparum malaria transmission requires estimates of the relationship between health outcomes and exposure to infectious mosquitoes. However, measures of exposure such as mosquito density and

Virus-derived DNA drives mosquito vector tolerance to arboviral infection
Nature Communications, 2016 Mosquitoes develop long-lasting viral infections without substantial deleterious effects, despite high viral loads. This makes mosquitoes efficient vectors for emerging viral diseases with enormous burden on public health.

Using spatial genetics to quantify mosquito dispersal for control programs
BMC Biology, 2020 Background Hundreds of millions of people get a mosquito-borne disease every year and nearly one million die. Transmission of these infections is primarily tackled through the control of mosquito vectors. The accurate quantification of mosquito dispersal

THE EXTERMINATION OF THE MOSQUITO [PDF]
Journal of the American Medical Association, 1915 Those who undertake for the first time the work of mosquito extermination are confronted with various theories concerning the means by which this important protective measure may be successfully carried out, which are often perplexing. It is quite necessary that these theories should be promptly dealt with, in order that methods which have no practical

Effects of landscape anthropization on mosquito community composition and abundance
Scientific Reports, 2016 Anthropogenic landscape transformation has an important effect on vector-borne pathogen transmission. However, the effects of urbanization on mosquito communities are still only poorly known.

EDIS, 1969 In addition to many environmental variables, there are two biological attributes related to mosquito egg-laying that contribute to the numbers of mosquitoes seen and felt during a post-hurricane period. The attributes separate mosquitoes on the basis of the conditions in which they lay their eggs.
