vectors of the 1969 yellow fever epidemic on the jos plateau, nigeria.entomological investigations of the possible mosquito vectors of the yellow fever epidemic on the jos plateau, nigeria, were carried out between 27 october and 15 november 1969.of the 5 species of aedes (stegomyia) collected, ae. luteocephalus was the most abundant in human-bait captures. ae. aegypti, ae. africanus, and ae. vittatus were collected in low numbers. the aegypti larval index in the areas investigated was very low and the species was not considered to be the primary vector in the epi ...19724403105
mosquito species abundance and diversity in malindi, kenya and their potential implication in pathogen transmission.mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae) are important vectors of human disease-causing pathogens. mosquitoes are found both in rural and urban areas. deteriorating infrastructure, poor access to health, water and sanitation services, increasing population density, and widespread poverty contribute to conditions that modify the environment, which directly influences the risk of disease within the urban and peri-urban ecosystem. the objective of this study was to evaluate the mosquito vector abundance and ...201121626425
contact bioassays with phenoxybenzyl and tetrafluorobenzyl pyrethroids against target-site and metabolic resistant mosquitoes.mosquito strains that exhibit increased tolerance to the chemical class of compounds with a sodium channel modulator mode of action (pyrethroids and pyrethrins) are typically described as "pyrethroid resistant". resistance to pyrethroids is an increasingly important challenge in the control of mosquito-borne diseases, such as malaria or dengue, because one of the main interventions (the distribution of large numbers of long-lasting insecticide-treated bed nets) currently relies entirely on long- ...201626930058
