Effects of Water Parameters on Container Mosquito (Diptera: Culicidae) Oviposition and Performance
… mosquitoes, <em>Aedes albopictus </em>and <em>Culex quinquefasciatus, </em>between different depths and surface areas. In addition, larval performance was determined under differing depth and larvae densities. Oviposition studies showed that <em>Ae. albopictus </em>had a preference for deeper …

Effects of Fluid Properties on the Dynamics of Mosquitoes' Ingestion Pumps
… feeding mechanisms of Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus. Specifically, we investigated the effect of fluid viscosity on the sugar-feeding behavior and the pumping dynamics of males and females via force-feeding assays and electromyography (EMG) recording. Results showed varied …

Influence of Detritus Levels and Organic Pollution on Interspecific Resource Competition, Oviposition Behavior, and Larval Survival of Two Tire-Inhabiting Mosquito Species (Diptera: Culicidae)
… and the southern house mosquito (<em>Culex quinquefasciatus</em>) are two medically important species commonly found in tires, but factors affecting their larval distributions in tires have not been studied, nor have their interspecific interactions. I investigated the effects of …

Investigation of mosquito (diptera: culicidae)-borne viruses circulating in some selected areas of Lusaka district, Zambia.
… in this study namely Aedes, Anopheles, and Culex mosquitoes. Aedes aegypti, Anopheles rufipes, and Culex quinquefasciatus were confirmed by DNA Barcoding. Three of the 71 pools tested positive for Phlebovirus and none of the pools was positive for either flavivirus or alphavirus. Only one …
