  2. #Household #expenditure on control of #urban #mosquitoes #Aedes albopictus and #Culex pipiens in #Emilia-Romagna, Northern #Italy journals.plos.org/plosntds/art

    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.

  3. #Investigadores brasileños descubren #huevos del #Aedes aegypti infectados con #zika y #chikungunya boletinaldia.sld.cu/aldia/2024

    -- La conclusión de la #investigación es que la #transmisión directa a los #huevos del #Aedes aegypti, clasificado como #transovárico, sin pasar por un hospedador, sirve de alerta a las autoridades sanitarias, ya que su principal vector urbano, el #mosquito, probablemente ha adquirido esta capacidad, subraya el estudio.

  4. Express Rail Link (#ERL) is informing the public that they will be running combined #KLIAEkspres and #KLIATransit service on Sunday, 6 August 2023 from 5:00 am to 7:00 am to carry out #mosquito #fogging exercise at the #train platforms at #KLSentral.

    At KL Sentral Station, all #departures and #arrivals will be through KLIA Ekspres ARRIVAL platform. The combined #service #frequency will be 30 minutes. Normal services will resume after the completion of the fogging exercise.

    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".
