Abstract Knowledge of the interrelationship of mosquito communities and land use changes
is of paramount importance to understand the potential risk of mosquito disease …

Weather and land use can significantly impact mosquito abundance and presence, and by
consequence, mosquito-borne disease (MBD) dynamics. Knowledge of vector ecology and …

Environment determines the distribution of mosquito-borne diseases in that it influences the
vector-host-pathogen transmission cycle, including vector distribution, abundance and …

Land use changes, such as deforestation and urbanization, can influence interactions
between vectors, hosts, and pathogens. The consequences may result in the appearance …

Urban wetlands are increasingly being used to manage stormwater, provide valuable
resources for biodiversity, and to improve public amenity and wellbeing. However …

Background Spatial variation in the risk of many mosquito-borne pathogens is strongly
influenced by the distribution of communities of suitable vector mosquitoes. The spatial …

Mosquitoes and the diseases they transmit are a global public health threat that affects most
human populations. Mosquito abundances are strongly linked to the number of suitable …

Humans alter the environment at unprecedented rates through habitat destruction, nutrient
pollution and the application of agrochemicals. This has recently been proposed to act as a …

Sampling of Culex larval habitat plays an important role in West Nile virus surveillance and
control programs. Although many cities have established mosquito sampling programs and …

Mangroves harbor mosquitoes capable of transmitting human pathogens; consequently,
urban mangrove management must strike a balance between conservation and minimizing …
