Vectorial Capacity of Culiseta melanura (Diptera: Culicidae) Changes Seasonally and Is Related to Epizootic Transmission of Eastern Equine Encephalitis Virus in Central Florida

Vectorial capacity is an equation that integrates the major aspects of vector biology to predict the number of new mosquito-borne disease infections. Developed for studying transmission of malaria, vectorial capacity is rarely applied to zoonotic vector-borne diseases and is not often adjusted to ac...
