Accounting for variation in mosquito vector populations will improve dengue surveillance
and prevention. Because Aedes aegypti, the principle dengue virus (DENV) vector, transmit …

This chapter reviews aspects of population dynamics that may be conceptually important for
biological control of mosquitoes. Density dependent population regulation among immature …

Background Mosquito larvae feed on organic detritus from the environment, particularly
microorganisms comprising bacteria, protozoa, and algae as well as crustaceans, plant …

Background Because no dengue vaccine or antiviral therapy is commercially available,
controlling the primary mosquito vector, Aedes aegypti, is currently the only means to …

Abstract The mosquito Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti (L.), which occurs widely in the subtropics
and tropics, is the primary urban vector of dengue and yellow fever viruses, and an important …

Aedes aegypti is the main vector for dengue and urban yellow fever. It is extended around
the world not only in the tropical regions but also beyond them, reaching temperate climates …

We investigated the effects of environmental factors and immature density on the productivity
of Aedes aegypti (L.) and explored the hypothesis that immature populations were under …

Use of the bacterium Wolbachia is an innovative new strategy designed to break the cycle of
dengue transmission. There are two main mechanisms by which Wolbachia could achieve …

Background: Dengue is a disease related to the environment that spreads rapidly.
Prevention movement is considered ineffective; therefore, a more efficient early warning …

Dengue fever and the potentially lethal haemorrhagic form of dengue are a fast growing
public health problem worldwide (50 million cases with 500 000 manifesting shock and/or …
