biology of culex sitiens, a predominant mosquito in phang nga, thailand after a tsunami.	a tsunami affected area in phang nga province, thailand was explored randomly as some freshwater sites had changed into brackish-water sites. a survey of four areas found culex sitiens to be the most dominant mosquito species.this mosquito prefers to breed in putrefied water with garbage and it was found in almost every stagnant, brackish-water site in full sunlight. the larval density was more than 300 larvae/dip/250 ml water. its biting cycle, determined by human landing catch, was nocturnal, ...	0	22950682
isolation of murray valley encephalitis virus and other arboviruses in the ord river valley 1972-1976.	this paper summarizes the isolation of arboviruses from mosquitoes collected in the ord valley between 1972 and 1976. a total of one hundred and ninety five strains of at least fifteen antigenically distinct viruses have been isolated. seven of these isolates appear to be "new' antigenic types, and several are undergoing further testing. these are three new rhabdoviruses (kununurra [or194], a virus provisionally named kimberley [or250] and or189 [provisionally named parry's creek]), three ungrou ...	1981	6117274
larval survey of surface water-breeding mosquitoes during irrigation development in the mahaweli project, sri lanka.	a survey of ground water-breeding mosquitoes was done during 1986-1987 in an area undergoing irrigation development in the mahaweli project of sri lanka. forty-nine species were collected during the 12-mo phase of humans settlement and infrastructure construction, and 42 species during the succeeding 12-mo period under irrigated rice culture. development resulted in the elimination of some preexisting breeding habitats, the modification of others, and the creation of new habits. the overall chan ...	1990	1977912
ecology of invasive mosquitoes: effects on resident species and on human health.	investigations of biological invasions focus on patterns and processes that are related to introduction, establishment, spread and impacts of introduced species. this review focuses on the ecological interactions operating during invasions by the most prominent group of insect vectors of disease, mosquitoes. first, we review characteristics of non-native mosquito species that have established viable populations, and those invasive species that have spread widely and had major impacts, testing wh ...	2005	17637849
full genome sequencing of corriparta virus, identifies california mosquito pool virus as a member of the corriparta virus species.	the species corriparta virus (corv), within the genus orbivirus, family reoviridae, currently contains six virus strains: corriparta virus mrm1 (corv-mrm1); cs0109; v654; v370; acado virus and jacareacanga virus. however, lack of neutralization assays, or reference genome sequence data has prevented further analysis of their intra-serogroup/species relationships and identification of individual serotypes. we report whole-genome sequence data for corv-mrm1, which was isolated in 1960 in australia ...	2013	24015178
