It is currently unclear if the potential for West Nile virus transmission by mosquito vectors in
the eastern United States is related to landscape or climate factors or both. We compared …

Climatic and landscape patterns have been associated with both relative mosquito
abundance and transmission of mosquitoborne illnesses in many parts of the world …

The integrated effects of the many risk factors associated with West Nile virus (WNV)
incidence are complex and not well understood. We studied an array of risk factors in and …

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 …

Background An important determinant of mosquito-borne pathogen transmission is the
spatial distribution of vectors. The primary vectors of West Nile virus (WNV) in Illinois are …

Understanding how human land use patterns influence mosquito ecology and the risk of
mosquito-borne pathogens is critical for the development of disease management …

Simple Summary West Nile virus (WNV) is transmitted by mosquitoes and maintained in bird
populations. However, it is less clear why some geographic locations consistently serve as …

After a severe outbreak of West Nile virus (WNV) in Cook County, Illinois, in 2002, detections
of WNV in mosquitoes were frequent across the state in the following years despite small …

The risk of transmission of West Nile virus (WNV) to humans is associated with the density of
infected vector mosquitoes in a given area. Current technology for estimating vector …

We conducted studies on mosquitoes and West Nile virus (WNV) along a riparian corridor
following the South Platte River and Big Thompson River in northeastern Colorado and …
