| habitat selection strategies of mosquitoes inhabiting citrus irrigation furrows. | the mosquitoes aedes vexans, psorophora columbiae and psorophora howardii have recently extended their habitat distribution into citrus irrigation furrows in coastal southeastern florida. oviposition site selection was examined by correlating species abundances with water depths due to rainfall or flood irrigation. psorophora columbiae and ps. howardii oviposited low in furrows, shared similar distributional relationships to water depths and were hatched by rainfall or irrigation. aedes vexans o ... | 1985 | 2906662 |
| cultural control of larval mosquito production in a fallow citrus grove used for disposal of secondary-treated sewage effluent. | larval mosquito production was monitored for 16 months in the furrows of a 13.4-ha citrus grove in east-central florida used for disposal of secondary-treated sewage effluent. twenty-one species of mosquito were collected, and the 2 most abundant species were culex nigripalpus and aedes vexans. an unplanned removal of all brush and trees from the site during the study resulted in an overall decline in larval production, but species diversity remained the same. | 1999 | 10342271 |
| u.s. laboratory and field trials of metofluthrin (sumione) emanators for reducing mosquito biting outdoors. | metofluthrin (sumione is a novel, vapor-active pyrethroid that is highly effective against mosquitoes. laboratory and field trials were conducted in the united states to evaluate the mosquito repellent activity of metofluthrin-treated paper substrates ("emanators"). initial studies were conducted to evaluate the field performance of 900-cm(2) paper fan emanators impregnated with 160 mg metofluthrin, where aedes canadensis was the predominant species. emanators reduced landing rates on human volu ... | 2007 | 17536367 |
