DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-93492-2
Abstract: Conventional larvicide delivery strategies originally developed for permanent and floodwater mosquitoes have proved suboptimal in the small, scattered, and cryptic larval habitats preferred by container-inhabiting Aedes mosquitoes. New methods such as autodissemination, wherein adult mosquitoes… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jme/tjaf005
Abstract: Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) Latreille biting midges are the vectors of several viruses of veterinary significance. The larvae of some biting midge species develop in semiaquatic habitats that are affected by the activity of vertebrates. However,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12936-018-2350-1
Abstract: BackgroundIt has been documented that unplanned urbanization leads to the exposure of members of the Anopheles vectors to a range of water pollution in urban settings. Many surveys from African and Asian countries reported the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pntd.0007412
Abstract: In Amazonian Peru, the primary malaria vector, Nyssorhynchus darlingi (formerly Anopheles darlingi), is difficult to target using standard vector control methods because it mainly feeds and rests outdoors. Larval source management could be a useful… read more here.
