biometrical variations in haematophagous arthropods. ii. dv/d ratio of male terminalia of wild culex quinquefasciatus say (diptera: culicidae) in india. | the dv/d ratio of male terminalia is considered as most reliable morphometric feature to distinguish culex pipiens from cx. quinquefasciatus. in india although only cx. quinquefasciatus is known both in the filariasis (bancroftian) endemic and non-endemic areas, there has been no study on the amounts of morphometric variation among wild strains of this species. this paper reports variation in the dv/d ratio of cx. quinquefasciatus collected from 7 localities of delhi (d), lucknow (l), patna (p), ... | 1990 | 2230023 |
dispersal and survival in the field of chemosterilized, irradiated, and cytoplasmically incompatible male culex pipiens fatigans. | comparative field studies were made on the dispersal and survival of chemosterilized, irradiated, and cytoplasmically incompatible (d3 strain) male culex pipiens fatigans. there was no significant difference in dispersal patterns and daily survival rates between laboratory colony males and wild males, and between chemosterilized or irradiated males and untreated males. although there was no difference in dispersal between adults of the d3 strain and the laboratory colony of the delhi strain, the ... | 1973 | 4544151 |

influence of seasonal changes in climate on dispersal of released culex pipiens fatigans: a study in villages in delhi union territory, india. | studies on culex pipiens fatigans dispersal were conducted during the hot, cold, rainy, and post-rainy seasons in 2 villages in the delhi area in order to improve techniques and to determine the optimum time of release. releases from one central point and from a number of points were evaluated. no directional effect on dispersal was observed. dispersal was most rapid and extensive in the hot season and slowest and most limited during the cold season, when the released mosquitos tended to remain ... | 1973 | 4542799 |
