Landscape structure affects distribution of potential disease vectors (Diptera: Culicidae)

Landscape structure affects distribution of potential disease vectors (Diptera: Culicidae)

Abstract Background Vector-pathogen dynamics are controlled by fluctuations of potential vector communities, such as the Culicidae. Assessment of mosquito community diversity and, in particular, identification of environmental parameters shaping these communities is therefore of key importance for t...
