| structure and seasonality of nearctic culex pipiens populations. | the abundance and structure of urban autogenous and anautogenous populations of culex pipiens mosquitoes were documented systematically in boston, ma, during three successive years. autogenous larvae become abundant mainly in enclosed sites and anautogenous larvae in sites that provide free access and egress. both populations begin to proliferate when the water temperature exceeds 15 degrees c during june. larval anautogenous mosquitoes increase in abundance 10-fold in two weeks and autogenous i ... | 2001 | 11797779 |
| efficacy of resmethrin aerosols applied from the road for suppressing culex vectors of west nile virus. | we determined whether aerosol applications of resmethrin, delivered from the road, suppress the reproductive activity of culex pipiens pipiens and cx. restuans mosquitoes in suburban sites located near boston. oviposition implies a prior blood-feeding event and hence a potential west nile virus (wnv) transmission-related event. droplet size, rate of delivery and meteorological conditions were monitored. the target populations proved to be fully susceptible to the insecticide that was used. the r ... | 2006 | 16796509 |
| genetic insights into the population structure of culex pipiens (diptera: culicidae) in the northeastern united states by using microsatellite analysis. | members of the culex pipiens complex are considered as biting nuisance and vectors of important arbo-viruses including west nile virus (wnv). to analyze the genetic structure of urban and rural populations of cx. pipiens form pipiens and gain insights into behavioral implications, mosquitoes were collected from established wnv transmission foci in connecticut from october 2006 through october 2007, examined by using microsatellite markers, and compared with other populations from neighboring sta ... | 2008 | 18840738 |
