The most important malaria vectors in sub-Saharan Africa are Anopheles gambiae,
Anopheles arabiensis, Anopheles funestus, and Anopheles coluzzii. Of these, An. funestus …

The call for malaria control, over the last century, marked a new epoch in the history of this
disease. Many control strategies targeting either the Plasmodium parasite or the Anopheles …

ABSTRACT Ram Kumar and Jiang-Shiou Hwang (2006) Larvicidal efficiency of aquatic
predators: a perspective for mosquito biocontrol. Zoological Studies 45 (4): 447-466 …

This chapter reviews aspects of population dynamics that may be conceptually important for
biological control of mosquitoes. Density dependent population regulation among immature …

Our research tests the hypothesis that the inability to sugar-feed reduces the insemination
rate in mosquito populations. To test this, we measured the effects of sugar availability on …

Background The intensive use of chemical insecticides against mosquitoes has led to the
development of widespread insecticide resistance. Control of Anopheles mosquitoes in …

In rubber plantations, tree holes are one of the major types of breeding habitats of Aedes
mosquitoes which transmit dengue and chikungunya. A mermithid nematode …

The current picture of embryonic development in nematodes is essentially shaped by
Caenorhabditis elegans and its close relatives. As their pattern of embryogenesis is rather …

We investigated the population dynamics of Strelkovimermis spiculatus in Ochlerotatus
albifasciatus to determine the abiotic and biotic parameters involved in this host-parasite …

Superparasitism is a common phenomenon in mosquito-parasitic mermithid nematodes.
Multiple nematodes are needed in a single host to produce males. Host selection behavior …
