Mosquito Oviposition Behavior and Vector Control

Insects, 2016
The burden of gene transfer from one mosquito generation to the next falls on the female and her eggs. The selection of an oviposition site that guarantees egg and larval survival is a critical step in the reproductive process.

Exotic mosquito threats require strategic surveillance and response planning [PDF]

Public Health Research and Practice, 2016
Mosquito-borne diseases caused by endemic pathogens such as Ross River, Barmah Forest and Murray Valley encephalitis viruses are an annual concern in New South Wales (NSW), Australia. More than a dozen mosquito species have been implicated in the transmission of these pathogens, with each mosquito occupying a specialised ecological niche that ...

Low-Quality Housing Is Associated With Increased Risk of Malaria Infection: A National Population-Based Study From the Low Transmission Setting of Swaziland. [PDF]

, 2017
BackgroundLow-quality housing may confer risk of malaria infection, but evidence in low transmission settings is limited.MethodsTo examine the relationship between individual level housing quality and locally acquired infection in children and adults, a ...

Rapid protein profiling facilitates surveillance of invasive mosquito species [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2014
Invasive aedine mosquito species have become a major issue in many parts of the world as most of them are recognised vectors or potentially involved in transmission of pathogens. Surveillance of these mosquitoes (e.g. Ae. aegypti, Yellow fever mosquito, Aedes albopictus, Asian tiger mosquito) is mainly done by collecting eggs using ovitraps and by ...

New adhesive traps to monitor urban mosquitoes with a case study to assess the efficacy of insecticide control strategies in temperate areas [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Urban mosquitoes in temperate regions may represent a high nuisance and are associated with the risk of arbovirus transmission. Common practices to reduce this burden, at least in Italian highly infested urban areas, imply calendar-based ...

Evolution of Mosquito-Based Arbovirus Surveillance Systems in Australia [PDF]

Journal of Biomedicine and Biotechnology, 2012
Control of arboviral disease is dependent on the sensitive and timely detection of elevated virus activity or the identification of emergent or exotic viruses. The emergence of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) in northern Australia revealed numerous problems with performing arbovirus surveillance in remote locations.

A systematic review of published literature on mosquito control action thresholds across the world.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2023
BackgroundDespite the use of numerous methods of control measures, mosquito populations and mosquito-borne diseases are still increasing globally. Evidence-based action thresholds to initiate or intensify control activities have been identified as ...

Project MOSI: rationale and pilot-study results of an initiative to help protect zoo animals from mosquito-transmitted pathogens and contribute data on mosquito spatio–temporal distribution change [PDF]

, 2015
Mosquito-borne pathogens pose major threats to both wildlife and human health and, largely as a result of unintentional human-aided dispersal of their vector species, their cumulative threat is on the rise.

Evaluation of the Entomological Adaptive Surveillance Framework for malaria vector monitoring: a comparative field trial with routine surveillance in Ghana and Mozambique

BMJ Public Health
Introduction Accurate mosquito surveillance is essential for guiding targeted interventions. To capture the spatial and temporal heterogeneity of mosquito populations, surveillance designs would ideally be flexible and evidence-based, that is, informed ...

Surveillance of adult Aedes mosquitoes in Selangor, Malaysia [PDF]

Tropical Medicine & International Health, 2015
AbstractObjectiveTo determine the effectiveness of using sticky traps and the NS1 dengue antigen kit for the surveillance of Aedes mosquitoes for dengue control.MethodsApartments were selected in a dengue‐endemic area, and sticky traps were set to capture adult Aedes mosquitoes.
