| importance of waste stabilization ponds and wastewater irrigation in the generation of vector mosquitoes in pakistan. | the objective of the current study was to investigate the role of waste stabilization ponds (wsp) and wastewater-irrigated sites for the production of mosquitoes of medical importance. mosquito larvae were collected fortnightly from july 2001 to june 2002 in faisalabad, pakistan. in total, 3,132 water samples from wsp and irrigated areas yielded 606,053 culex larvae of five species. in addition, 107,113 anophelines, representing eight species were collected. anopheles subpictus (grassi) and cule ... | 2006 | 17017239 |
| population dynamics of some pakistan mosquitoes: temporal changes in reproductive status, age structure and survivorship of anopheles culicifacies, an. stephensi and culex tritaeniorhynchus. | the reproductive biology and age-structure of female anopheles culicifacies, an. stephensi and culex tritaeniorhynchus were studied at rural punjabi villages near lahore, pakistan, during 1976-1980. both anopheles remained gonotrophically active throughout the year with blood-fed, gravid, parous and virgin females collected during all months. culex tritaeniorhynchus populations bifurcated into reproductively active, non-overwintering and reproductively inactive, overwintering populations in octo ... | 1986 | 3729600 |
| observations on mating behavior and survivorship of culex tritaeniorhynchus giles (diptera: culicidae) during late autumn. | virgin culex tritaeniorhynchus males and females from a laboratory strain and the progeny of wild-caught females were released at a rural village on the outskirts of lahore during late autumn to study mating behavior in nature at a time when population abundance was declining. although both released and endemic males were numerous, few recaptured females were inseminated. apparently during late autumn there normally is a cessation of mating activity as the population begins to enter the overwint ... | 1977 | 614715 |
| a quantitative mosquito survey of 7 villages in punjab province, pakistan with notes on bionomics, sampling methodology and the effects of insecticides. | a total of 451,337 female and male mosquitoes comprising 43 species in 9 genera were collected during a quantitative survey of 7 suburban and rural villages in the lahore area during 1976 and 1977 using larval, indoor resting, outdoor resting, biting and light trap collections at weekly intervals. culex tritaeniorhynchus was the most abundant species collected comprising 51.8% of the total specimens, followed by cx. quinquefasciatus (16.4%), cx. pseudovishnui (6.8%), an. subpictus (4.8%) and an. ... | 1978 | 35839 |
