  • Nevertheless, out of 6 islands thoroughly searched in December 2008, the researchers did not find a single larva or adult individual of Anopheles , including in the islands of Mahé, Praslin and La Digue, where 99 % of the Seychelles population live. (sciencedaily.com)
  • ABSTRACT Concerns about traditional chemical pesticides has led to increasing research into novel mosquito control methods. (who.int)
  • Altogether 36 species have been recorded during the recent study, bringing the total Moldovan mosquito fauna to 40 species in 9 genera and 11 subgenera. (bioone.org)
  • The risk of malaria transmission is higher in areas where local climatic conditions allow the Anopheles mosquito to survive during most of or the entire year and in locations with travelers from malaria-endemic areas. (cdc.gov)
  • Given the characteristic low densities of Anopheles arabiensis and the difficult terrain in this area, future vector control strategies are likely to be based on area-wide integrated pest management (AW-IPM) that may include the sterile insect technique (SIT). (who.int)
  • Pupae of the Nearctic anopheline mosquitoes north of Mexico. (si.edu)
  • Malaria is a serious and potentially fatal disease transmitted through the bite of an infective female anopheline mosquito. (cdc.gov)
  • Of critical importance in this mission is the identification of species prevalent in an area of interest. (justia.com)
  • Mosquitoes in AL-Ahsaa are prevalent in both winter and spring seasons, rarely encountered in summer, and are found in moderation during the autumn months. (bioone.org)
  • Large variations in mosquito abundance and WNV prevalence were found among sites. (confex.com)
  • however, there are no published epidemiological data regarding feline heartworm in this region and the prevalence in this species remains unknown. (biomedcentral.com)
  • With such variation in species comes a lot of variation in habitats, behaviours, and risks. (mcgill.ca)
  • We used commercial screen materials made of polyester, polyethylene or polypropylene to design novel mosquito screens that provide remarkable additional benefits to those commonly used in house screening. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Mississippi has several mosquito species, such as Anopheles quadrimaculatus , that could transmit the disease agent to people should malaria ever become reestablished in our state. (msstate.edu)
  • Another indirect method for the estimation of mosquito age is the morphological determination of ovariole dilatation to distinguish whether a female mosquito is nulliparous (has not yet laid eggs), and therefore likely to be young, or parous (has laid eggs), and therefore older 7 . (nature.com)
  • Considering that the female mosquito, after feeding, would be a great source of protein, it would seem a good target. (informit.com)
  • When a female mosquito gorges on blood, her mass may increase more than 200 percent. (informit.com)
  • These species are found predominantly in rural areas, where they thrive in a variety of natural and manmade aquatic sites. (cdc.gov)
  • The transmission of malaria depends on the presence of the mosquitoes which are required to transmit the disease (they do this when they bite you). (malaria.com)
  • The exact distribution depends on climatic variables (namely heat and sufficient rainfall, for the development of the mosquitoes which transmit malaria) and also how successful a particular country or region has been at controlling malaria. (malaria.com)
  • Mosquito-borne disease. (medscape.com)
  • After completing this course, the learner should be able to recognize common forms of adult mosquito and disease surveillance, and understand the different methods of adulticide application and the adulticides available, both public and private. (pestweb.com)
