The Vertical Distribution of some West African Mosquitoes (Diptera,Culicidae) Over Open Farmland in a Freshwater Area of the Gambia [PDF]
Mosquitoes flying at low levels over open farmland were sampled by means of electrical suction traps. These were set up at nine levels from ground level up to 6 m.

A crossover study to evaluate the diversion of malaria vectors in a community with incomplete coverage of spatial repellents in the Kilombero Valley, Tanzania [PDF]
Malaria elimination is unlikely to occur if vector control efforts focus entirely on transmission occurring indoors without addressing vectors that bite outdoors and outside sleeping hours.

Achieving Operational Hydrologic Monitoring of Mosquitoborne Disease
Mosquitoes and mosquitoborne disease transmission are sensitive to hydrologic variability. If local hydrologic conditions can be monitored or modeled at the scales at which these conditions affect the population dynamics of vector mosquitoes and the ...

The Effect of High Fences on the Dispersal of Some West African Mosquitoes(Diptera: CuUcidae) [PDF]
Many "West African mosquitoes fly at low levels when crossing open country. Experiments were therefore conducted in the Gambia on the effect of high fences on their dispersal. In the first experiment, a circular mosquito-proof fence 2-9 m high and with a

Mosquito population dynamic (diptera: culicidae) in a eutrophised dam
This study observed the mosquito population in a rural eutrophised dam. Larvae of L3 and L4 stages and pupae were dipped out during twelve month collections and the reared to the adult stage for identification. The collections were done along nine metres
