Transgenic strains of Aedes aegypti have been engineered to help control transmission of
dengue virus. Although resources have been invested in developing the strains, we lack …

Although many laboratory studies of intra‐specific competition have been conducted with
Ae. aegypti, there have been few studies in natural environments and none that examined …

An understanding of the ecological factors that regulate natural populations of Aedes
aegyptimosquitoes can improve control and reduce the incidence of dengue (DF) and …

Background Current Aedes aegypti larval control methods are often insufficient for
preventing dengue epidemics. To improve control efficiency and cost-effectiveness, some …

Mosquitoes often experience intraspecific and interspecific competition among larvae
attributable to high densities and nutrient limitation, especially container mosquitoes …

New larval control strategies for integrated vector management of Aedes aegypti are in high
demand, including the use of biological control agents. Exposure of Aedes aegypti to …

Background Because no dengue vaccine or antiviral therapy is commercially available,
controlling the primary mosquito vector, Aedes aegypti, is currently the only means to …

In addition to genetic history, environmental conditions during larval stages are critical to the
development, success and phenotypic fate of the Aedes aegypti mosquito. In particular …

Previous studies on the influence of weather on Aedes aegypti dynamics in Puerto Rico
suggested that rainfall was a significant driver of immature mosquito populations and …

Summary 1 Over 2 billion people are currently at risk of infection with dengue fever. Use of
the sterile insect technique (SIT) in controlling the vector, Aedes aegypti, has been …
