| development of a multiplexed polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (pcr-rflp) assay to identify common members of the subgenera culex (culex) and culex (phenacomyia) in guatemala. | morphological differentiation of mosquitoes in the subgenera culex (culex) and culex (phenacomyia) in guatemala is difficult, with reliable identification ensured only through examination of larval skins from individually reared specimens and associated male genitalia. we developed a multiplexed polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (pcr-rflp) assay to identify common cx. (cux.) and cx. (phc.). culex (cux.) chidesteri, cx. (cux.) coronator, cx. (cux.) interrogator, c ... | 0 | 20682869 |
| urban mosquito fauna in mérida city, méxico: immatures collected from containers and storm-water drains/catch basins. | we examined the species composition and temporal occurrence of immature mosquitoes in containers and storm-water drains/catch basins from november 2011 to june 2013 in mérida city, méxico. a wide range of urban settings were examined, including residential premises, vacant lots, parking lots, and streets or sidewalks with storm-water drains/catch basins. in total, 111,776 specimens of 15 species were recorded. the most commonly collected species were aedes (stegomyia) aegypti (l.) (n = 60,961) a ... | 0 | 25429168 |
| stormwater drains and catch basins as sources for production of aedes aegypti and culex quinquefasciatus. | we present data showing that structures serving as drains and catch basins for stormwater are important sources for production of the mosquito arbovirus vectors aedes aegypti and culex quinquefasciatus in mérida city, méxico. we examined 1761 stormwater drains - located in 45 different neighborhoods spread across the city - over dry and wet seasons from march 2012 to march 2013. of the examined stormwater drains, 262 (14.9%) held water at the time they were examined and 123 yielded mosquito imma ... | 2014 | 24582840 |
| vacant lots: productive sites for aedes (stegomyia) aegypti (diptera: culicidae) in mérida city, méxico. | we assessed the potential for vacant lots and other nonresidential settings to serve as source environments for aedes (stegomyia) aegypti (l.) (diptera: culicidae) in mérida city, méxico. mosquito immatures were collected, during november 2011-june 2013, from residential premises (n = 156 site visits) and nonresidential settings represented by vacant lots (50), parking lots (18), and streets or sidewalks (28). collections totaled 46,025 mosquito immatures of 13 species. ae. aegypti was the most ... | 0 | 24724299 |
