The variable contribution of larval habitats on the production of mosquitoes that transmit West Nile Virus: a landscape epidemiology approach
… populations through treatment or elimination of larval habitats associated with vector mosquitoes. West Nile virus is an important pathogen in North America. The objective of this study was to determine influences on Culex adult and larval mosquito population. Data for this study were collected …

Detection of the bloodmeal origin of mosquitoes collected at alligator farms, and West Nile Virus activity in mosquitoes collected from alligator farms, sentinel chicken surveillance sites, and larval habitats
… backpack aspirators, resting boxes, and from larval habitats. West Nile virus was detected in 15 pools of male Culex specimens (collected as adults). West Nile virus also was detected in 2 pools of Cx. quinquefasciatus nulliparous females, 1 pool of Ae. albopictus nulliparous females and 2 …

Blood host preferences and competitive inter-species dynamics within an African malaria vector species complex inferred from signs of animal activity around aquatic larval habitats distributed across a gradient of fully domesticated to fully pristine ecosystems in southern Tanzania
… or completely absent. This study investigated larval habitat occupancy and species composition of the An. gambiae complex, together with the availability of various potential mammalian blood host species, across a gradient of fully domesticated to fully pristine ecosystems in southern Tanzania. …

Early Development of the Stippled Darter, Etheostoma Punctulatum and Arkansas Darter, Etheostoma Cragini
… helped separate the larvae in field samples. Larval habitats were sampled and darter larvae were found to be distributed throughout the habitats sampled. A hybrid was produced and raised to the juvenile stage. Lateral line length and number of dorsal fin spines in the hybrid were intermediate …

Impact of climate- and urbanization-driven environmental change on Aedes aegypti susceptibility to Zika virus
… a vector is limited. This expansion of mosquito habitats will be accompanied by changes in oviposition site access and microclimates the mosquitoes are exposed to. Increasing urbanization in Africa will shift the oviposition sites for Ae. aegypti natural containers in a sylvatic environment to …

Bionomics of Culicoides (Diptera:Ceratopogonidae) in Virginia
… investigation. These included surveys for larval habitats, colonization attempts with Culicoides guttipennis (Coq.), host preference studies and adult activity studies. Breeding sites of 22 species of Culicoides were located and briefly described. Samples of mud, debris, etc. from suspected …
