| relationship between number of human japanese encephalitis cases and summer meteorological conditions in nagasaki, japan. | analysis of epidemiological and meteorological data for nagasaki prefecture, southwest japan, for the period 1950-1979, showed a correlation between size of epidemics of human japanese encephalitis (je) and weather factors. it was demonstrated that during the period 1950-1969 the epidemic size (es) had two types of correlation: es correlated inversely with total summer precipitation, and es correlated directly with mean summer temperature. the fact that in the 1970s there were fewer cases of je ... | 1983 | 6297324 |
| life history effects of prey choice by copepods: implications for biocontrol of vector mosquitoes. | macrocyclops distinctus, megacyclops viridis, and mesocyclops pehpeiensis, which are common in rice fields during the summer season in nagasaki, japan, showed variable potentialities as biological control agents of larval aedes albopictus, culex tritaeniorhynchus, and anopheles minimus in the laboratory. macrocyclops distinctus and m. viridis, the largest copepod species, had fewer eggs within an egg clutch in nature than the smallest species, m. pehpeiensis, which also had a lower developmental ... | 2003 | 12674538 |
