Effect of temperature on life history traits during immature development of Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus (Culicidae)

By Grech et al.
Acta Tropica 146: 1-6., 2015

Full Abstract

Grech MG, Sartor PD, Almirón WR, Ludueña-Almeida FF. 2015. Effect of temperature on life history traits during immature development of Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus (Diptera: Culicidae) from Córdoba city, Argentina. Acta Tropica 146: 1-6.

Abstract (part)
Development times of all larval and pupal stages of Ae. aegypti and Cx. quinquefasciatus were significantly affected by the rearing temperatures, decreasing when temperature increased. Mean Ae. aegypti total (larva+pupa) development time ranged from 21.9 to 8.6 days, at 15.2 and 25.3°C, whereas, for [i]Cx.

Mosquitoes of the southeastern United States

By Nathan D. Burkett-Cadena
The University of Alabama Press. xiii + 188 pp., 2013

Google (Limited) Preview

Mosquitoes of the Southeastern United States is a full-color, highly illustrated guide to the sixty-four known species of mosquitoes in eleven genera that populate the Southeast [defined here as MS-n.FL-NC-TN]

This book’s usefulness to mosquito control programs in the Southeast and beyond cannot be overstated. Not only for native species, but for new species introduced from exotic locales, mosquitoes must be properly identified in order to know how best to control them. This volume will also be valuable to medical and public health specialists working on mosquito-borne diseases, such as malaria, dengue, yellow fever, West Nile virus, and filariasis.

Mosquitoes of North America (North of Mexico)

By Stanley J. Carpenter, Walter J. Lacasse
Univ of California Pr, 1974

This book has some of the best diagrams of adult female mosquitoes that have been done. Another book out of press and sorely in need of reissue.
This book is a great companion to Darsie and Ward(1) and you usually find photocopies of the plates in evidence wherever adult mosquitoes are identified.

Mosquito Fauna of North America

This series has some great diagrams and very detailed information that is still very relevant. You won't find anything this detailed still in press.
