abstract Variations in the conditions accompanying mosquito development and mating can
result in females of variable size that have not been inseminated. In this study, we compared …

Background The success of sterile or transgenic Anopheles for malaria control depends on
their mating competitiveness within wild populations. Current evidence suggests that …

Aedes albopictus mosquito is an opportunistic blood feeder and has a broad host range.
The feeding behavior and habits of this mosquito are liable to increase the transmission …

We characterize the swarming behavior of male Aedes polynesiensis (Marks) in American
Samoa. Instead of swarming around a blood host, males used the base of certain trees as a …

Adult mosquito size may be related to longevity, feeding frequency, and other factors that
impact vectorial capacity. Various investigations have shown that characteristics of larval …

In several areas where Aedes aegypti (L.)(Diptera: Culicidae) and Aedes albopictus
(Skuse)(Diptera: Culicidae) have come in contact following successful invasions, Ae. aegypti …

Ecology of adult Aedes triseriatus (Say) and Aedes hendersoni Cockerell was studied in a
beech/maple woods in northern Indiana using mark/recapture methods and isozyme …

Co‐infections may modify parasite transmission opportunities directly as a consequence of
interactions in the within‐host environment, but also indirectly through changes in host life …

Rapid advances in biological and digital support systems are revolutionizing the population
control of invasive disease vectors such as Aedes aegypti. Methods such as the sterile and …

Issues of male fertility must be addressed to support the development of a sterile insect
technique (SIT) programme for the control of Aedes albopictus Skuse (Diptera: Culicidae) …
