TL;DR: Eleven species were evaluated from Florida to determine which of these species should be targeted for control should Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) be detected in North America and how environmental factors affect transmission.

TL;DR: It was shown that bifenthrin treatment of camouflage netting was effective at reducing mosquito populations, predominantly Psorophora columbiae and Aedes vexans, by an average of up to 46% for 56 days, and could cause as much as 40% mortality in Culex quinquefasciatus in laboratory bioassays for nearly 2 months postapplication.

TL;DR: Investigation of differences in mosquito capture rates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention light traps baited with dry ice compared with traps baiting with yeast fermentation of several carbohydrate sources demonstrated the ability of yeast-generated CO2 to effectively attract mosquitoes to a CDC trap, regardless of carbohydrate source.

TL;DR: Despite the presence of the salivary gland barrier, due to the very high population that can occur and its propensity to feed on large mammals, Ps.

TL;DR: Concentrations of malathion and permethrin typical in droplets generated from ultra-low-volume and low-volume applications used to control mosquito populations were evaluated for efficacy against multiple-aged Culex quinquefasciatus Say using a topical bioassay.
