an experimental field study of delayed density dependence in natural populations of aedes albopictus.	aedes albopictus, a species known to transmit dengue and chikungunya viruses, is primarily a container-inhabiting mosquito. the potential for pathogen transmission by ae. albopictus has increased our need to understand its ecology and population dynamics. two parameters that we know little about are the impact of direct density-dependence and delayed density-dependence in the larval stage. the present study uses a manipulative experimental design, under field conditions, to understand the impact ...	2012	22563428
imported dengue fever: an important reemerging disease.	fever in a returned traveler from the tropics often poses a diagnostic challenge to the emergency department physician because of the potential for serious morbidity and mortality associated with certain infections such as falciparum malaria and dengue. we report a case of imported dengue fever in a 15-year-old adolescent boy acquired during a recent travel to guatemala. dengue fever is a mosquito-transmitted viral infection of global importance. the majority of us residents with dengue become i ...	2009	19915431
