Modeling Culex tarsalis Coquillett abundance on the northern Colorado Front Range using a landscape-level approach
… (GIS) data include the identification of larval mosquito habitats and forecasting of species distribution and abundance, thereby improving the ability to target control efforts to reduce the risk of transmission of vector-borne pathogens. The practicality for the incorporation of remotely sensed …

Influence of Detritus Levels and Organic Pollution on Interspecific Resource Competition, Oviposition Behavior, and Larval Survival of Two Tire-Inhabiting Mosquito Species (Diptera: Culicidae)
<p>Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) are vectors of disease in the adult stage, but understanding the factors affecting distributions of the immature stages is important to the understanding and control of adult populations. Discarded automobile tires comprise important larval mosquito habitats. The …

Impact of climate- and urbanization-driven environmental change on Aedes aegypti susceptibility to Zika virus
… increases, the viable habitat for some mosquitoes will expand, allowing for increased spread of vector-borne diseases. Even in the most optimistic climate models, the risk of diseases transmitted by Aedes species mosquitoes is high, especially in Africa, where the disease burden is …

The Use of Remote Sensing for Mapping Possible Vectors of West Nile Virus in Mississippi
… been hypothesized that vectors, such as local mosquito abundance, could be predicted from factors such as climate and land use/land cover. Remote sensing has been used as a supplement to traditional methods of mosquito surveillance and to map the spatial distribution of mosquito habitats. This, …
