The burden of gene transfer from one mosquito generation to the next falls on the female
and her eggs. The selection of an oviposition site that guarantees egg and larval survival is …

Dengue, caused by the dengue virus, is the most widespread arboviral infectious disease of
public health significance globally. This review explores the communicative function of …

Vector control and personal protection against anthropophilic mosquitoes mainly rely on the
use of insecticides and repellents. The search for mosquito-attractive semiochemicals has …

Aquatic insects are the dominant invertebrate fauna in most freshwater ecosystems, and
figure prominently in the work of a diverse range of researchers, students, and …

The yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti, the global vector of dengue and yellow fever, is
inexorably linked to water-filled human-made containers for egg laying and production of …

Background The main constraint to the fight against container-breeding mosquito vectors of
human arboviruses is the difficulty in targeting the multiplicity of larval sources, mostly …

Abstract Background Aedes (Stegomyia) albopictus (Skuse) is an important disease vector
and biting nuisance. During the 2009 active season, six∼ 1000‐parcel sites were studied …

Abstract The Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus (Skuse), is a highly invasive container-
inhabiting species with a global distribution. This mosquito, similar to other Stegomyia …

In spite of the unavailability of measures to target dengue control in human populations, the
promising way of combating the disease is by controlling vector mosquito larvae and their …

Gravid mosquitoes use chemosensory (olfactory, gustatory, or both) cues to select
oviposition sites suitable for their offspring. In nature, these cues originate from plant …
