| larval habitat dynamics and diversity of culex mosquitoes in rice agro-ecosystem in mwea, kenya. | introduction of irrigation projects in developing nations has often been blamed for aggravating the problem of mosquito-borne diseases by creating ideal larval habitats for vector mosquitoes. however, whereas several studies have demonstrated the relationship between malaria vectors and irrigation, little work has been done on culicine mosquitoes despite their potential in transmission of filariasis and arboviruses and their significant biting nuisance in these areas. this study examined the div ... | 2007 | 17255236 |
| parasitism of kenyan mosquito larvae (diptera: culicidae) by romanomermis culicivorax (nematoda: mermithidae). | the ability of romanomermis culicivorax to infect, develop, and emerge from kenyan mosquito hosts was evaluated in the laboratory. host species tested were aedes aegypti, ae. dentatus, ae. hirsutus, anopheles arabiensis, an. coustani, an. funestus, an. gambiae, an. pharoensis, culex duttoni, cu. ethiopicus, cu. poicilipes, cu. quinquefasciatus, cu. tigripes, cu. univittatus, coquillettidia metallica, mansonia africana, ma. uniformis, mimomyia splendens, mi. uniformis, toxorhyncites brevipalpis, ... | 1988 | 19290190 |
