Human behaviors: a threat for mosquito control?
, 2015 Community involvement and the preventive behavior of households are considered to be at the heart of vector-control strategies. In this work, we consider a simple theoretical model that enables us to take into account human behaviors that may interfere ...

Remote Sensing and Modeling of Mosquito Abundance and Habitats in Coastal Virginia, USA
Remote Sensing, 2011 The increase in mosquito populations following extreme weather events poses a major threat to humans because of mosquitoes’ ability to carry disease-causing pathogens, particularly in low-lying, poorly drained coastal plains vulnerable to tropical ...

Sampling Design and Mosquito Trapping for Surveillance of Arboviral Activity
, 2017 Mosquitoes are the most important vectors for arboviral human diseases across the world. Diseases such as Dengue Fever (DF), West Nile Virus (WNV), Yellow Fever (YF), Japanese Encephalitis (JE), Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis (VEE), and St. Louis Encephalitis (SLE), among others, have a deep impact in public health.

Surveillance of mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) in Rajshahi, Bangladesh
Research in Agriculture Livestock and Fisheries, 2019 Mosquitoes are considered the most important arthropod vectors in the world. Mosquito borne diseases are major public health problems in most of tropical and subtropical countries. An investigation was performed at Bagha upazila in Rajshahi district to identify the mosquito species and their breeding sites at the study area.
