| mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae) in mauritania: a review of their biodiversity, distribution and medical importance. | although mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae) are important disease vectors, information on their biodiversity in mauritania is scarce and very dispersed in the literature. data from the scientific literature gathered in the country from 1948 to 2016 were collected and analyzed. overall 51 culicid species comprising 17 anopheles spp., 14 aedes spp., 18 culex spp. and two mansonia spp. have been described in mauritania among which anopheles arabiensis, aedes vexans, culex poicilipes and culex antennat ... | 2017 | 28103955 |
| [sterile insect technique: targeted control without insecticide]. | sterile insect technique (sit) is a method of disease vector control technique that consists of releasing overwhelming numbers of sterile males. this method provides an environmentally friendly alternative to insecticides. another advantage of sit in comparison with other methods is to provide a targeted species-specific approach. in reunion island, sit has been proposed as a basis for developing a viable method of vector control against aedes albopictus and anopheles arabiensis. the technique h ... | 2012 | 22693930 |
