Bionomics of Mosquitoes in Semi-Arid Urban Areas.
Abstract
Incidence of biting mosquitoes in the semi-arid urban areas, as represented by Tucson, Arizona, is a function of temperature and rainfall. Eight species of mosquitoes were collected during the year but biting mosquito problems were only associated with three species: Psorophora signipennis, P. confinnis and Aedes vexans. Significant mosquito control was realized using mosquito fish (Gambusia affinis) alone and/or in combination with Flit MLO and Dursban. (Author)
