Aedes aegypti (L.) mosquitoes preferentially oviposit in natural and artificial receptacles where their eggs are able to withstand drying as water levels fluctuate. Desiccation-resistant eggs also increase the potential for establishment in...

Susan P Jacups et al.
In northern Australia the northern salt marsh mosquito Aedes vigilax is a vector of Ross River virus and is an appreciable pest. A coastal wetland adjacent to Darwin's residential suburbs offers a favorable habitat for Ae. vigilax, and desp...

We collected a total of 169 adult hard ticks and 120 nymphs from under the leaves of plants located along tourist nature trails in ten localities. The results present data examining the vector competence of ticks of different genera and the...
Oviposition substrate in Asian tiger mosquito surveillance: Do the sizes matter? [0.03%]
亚虎蚊监控中的卵孵化 substrates 的大小有影响吗？

Luigi Falsone et al.
Ovitraps are regarded as a reliable system to monitor Aedes albopictus dynamics. However, the dimensions of the oviposition substrate are not standardized, and no studies have investigated which should be the most effective sizes. In this s...
Simulation of climate-tick-host-landscape interactions: Effects of shifts in the seasonality of host population fluctuations on tick densities [0.03%]
气候-蜱-宿主-景观交互作用的模拟研究：宿主种群数量季节性波动的变化对蜱虫密度的影响
Hsiao-Hsuan Wang,W E Grant,P D Teel et al.
Hsiao-Hsuan Wang et al.
Tick vector systems are comprised of complex climate-tick-host-landscape interactions that are difficult to identify and estimate from empirical observations alone. We developed a spatially-explicit, individual-based model, parameterized to...
Identification of Aedes albopictus larval index thresholds in the transmission of dengue in Guangzhou, China [0.03%]
中国广州登革热传播的白纹伊蚊幼虫密度阈值研究
Lei Luo,Xiaoning Li,Xincai Xiao et al.
Lei Luo et al.
Entomological indices have been used to quantitatively express vector density, but the threshold of larval indices of Aedes albopictus in dengue epidemics is still undefined. We conducted a case-control study to identify the thresholds of A...
Prevalence of Rickettsia and Bartonella species in Spanish cats and their fleas [0.03%]

María Jesús Gracia et al.
The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of Bartonella henselae, Rickettsia felis, and Rickettsia typhi in fleas and companion cats (serum and claws) and to assess their presence as a function of host, host habitat, and level o...
Tadpoles of three common anuran species from Thailand do not prey on mosquito larvae [0.03%]
泰国三种常见两栖动物的蝌蚪不捕食蚊子幼虫

Tadpoles are often considered to be predators of mosquito larvae and are therefore beneficial for the control of certain disease vectors. Nevertheless, only a few species have actually been recorded to prey on mosquito larvae. The mosquito ...
