investigation of mosquitoes with emphasis on aedes (finlaya) poicilius, putative vectorof bancroftian filariasis on panay island, the philippines.	entomological investigations were conducted in four remaining lymphaticfilariasis endemic provinces of panay island, the philippines to determinemosquito species present in these areas and to identify host preference and bitingactivity of aedes (finlaya) poicilius theobald, primary vector of nocturnal periodicwuchereria bancrofti in the philippines. sampling techniques targeted nocturnallyactive mosquito species using a carabao-baited trap (cbt) and human-landingcollection (hlc), the latter taki ...	2016	29620345
dna barcoding of morphologically characterized mosquitoes belonging to the subfamily culicinae from sri lanka.	vectors of mosquito-borne diseases in sri lanka, except for malaria, belong to the subfamily culicinae, which includes nearly 84% of the mosquito fauna of the country. hence, accurate and precise species identification of culicine mosquitoes is a crucial factor in implementing effective vector control strategies. during the present study, a combined effort using morphology and dna barcoding was made to characterize mosquitoes of the subfamily culicinae for the first time from nine districts of s ...	2018	29695263
[seasonal fluctuations of mosquitoes and application of two surveillance tools in taibai lake area of jining city].	to investigate the seasonal fluctuations of mosquitoes in taibai lake area of jining city, and evaluate the application effects of two mosquito trapping tools (gongfu xiaoshuai mosquito lamp and wj-c mosquito sampler), so as to provide references for the effective surveillance, prevention and control of local mosquito vectors.	2018	30019564
evaluation of the performance of different traps for sampling usutu and west nile viruses and mosquito (diptera: culicidae) vectors in senegal.	an efficient trapping tool is one of the most important factors in surveillance and research on arboviruses and their vectors. in the current study, we tested the efficiency of several traps for sampling west nile (wnv) and usutu (usuv) viruses and their vectors in senegal during 2013. a total of 15,527 mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae), 94.3% females, were collected. among the known arbovirus vectors, mansonia uniformis (theobald) (diptera: culicidae) was the most abundant (46.5%), followed by cu ...	2019	30124969
biodiversity pattern of mosquitoes in southeastern senegal, epidemiological implication in arbovirus and malaria transmission.	the composition, density, diversity, and temporal distribution of mosquito species and the influence of temperature, relative humidity, and rainfall on these data were investigated in 50 sites across five land cover classes (forest, savannah, barren, village, and agriculture) in southeastern senegal. mosquitoes were collected monthly in each site between june 2009 and march 2011, with three people collecting mosquitoes landing on their legs for one to four consecutive days. in total, 81,219 spec ...	2019	30428055
prevalence of disease vectors in lakshadweep islands during post-monsoon season.	: increase of vector-borne diseases (vbds) in india has posed a question on the situation in lakshadweep islands, where vbds are reported from time-to-time. the present investigation was aimed to assess the faunastic situation of the prevailing vectors along with their breeding sites in different islands of the lakshadweep.	2019	30618444
colonization of coquillettidia linealis (skuse) with reference to other coquillettidia and mansonia species.	the immature stages of coquillettidia and mansonia mosquitoes are cryptic and spend the duration of their development attached to the tissues of subsurface aquatic plants. this obligatory association makes them difficult to collect and has precluded detailed investigation of the biology of coquillettidia linealis, a species of significant pest and vector status in australia, as well as other species in the genus coquillettidia in australia and elsewhere. this paper describes the first successful ...	2019	31124246
epidemiologic, entomologic, and virologic factors of the 2014-15 ross river virus outbreak, queensland, australia.	australia experienced its largest recorded outbreak of ross river virus (rrv) during the 2014-15 reporting year, comprising >10,000 reported cases. we investigated epidemiologic, entomologic, and virologic factors that potentially contributed to the scale of the outbreak in queensland, the state with the highest number of notifications (6,371). spatial analysis of human cases showed that notifications were geographically widespread. in brisbane, human case notifications and virus detections in m ...	2019	31742522
