Researchers document mosquito species in Puerto Rico that launches eggs aerially, one at a time, into the pools of water that collect between bracts of a plant. See figure 2. Seriously, see figure 2. So cool. #PuertoRico #mosquito #diptera #culex #oviposition #nature #heliconiaceae https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-025-15955-0

#Household #expenditure on control of #urban #mosquitoes #Aedes albopictus and #Culex pipiens in #Emilia-Romagna, Northern #Italy https://journals.plos.org/plosntds/article?id=10.1371/journal.pntd.0012552

Control activities that lower the #mosquito #density in both private and public areas could reduce the use of household #insecticides in urban environments and the related costs, and the risk of spread of imported #arboviruses as well.

More concerns about #GE mosquitoes -- especially since they can breed when exposed to #tetracycline

Science snipes at #Oxitec transgenic-mosquito trial

by Nidhi Subbaraman

Nature Biotechnology volume 29, pages 9–10 (2011)

"#Oxitec's plans for transgenic #mosquito trials have not been without controversy in the past. They have been criticized by environmental groups, such as Ottawa-based #ETCGroup and #EcoNexus of Oxford, concerned about the risks of releasing an entirely new strain of organism into the environment".

Does anyone have any good recommendations for (preferably lethal) traps for both male and female #Aedes #aegypti mosquitoes? Our insectary currently only has UV-light bug zappers installed which don't really do much for mozzies. #VectorControl #Mosquito

We are looking for #mosquito data on natural oscillations in mosquito population size (any life stage). We like #aedes #aegypti and #culex #pipiens !
