Dispersal of Female Culex Tarsalis into a Larvicided Area *

Efficacy of Aerial Spraying of Mosquito Adulticide in Reducing Incidence of West Nile Virus, California, 2005

“…Additionally, posttreatment infi ltration of Cx. tarsalis mosquitoes from bordering untreated areas has been a previously documented phenomenon in California and Texas (19,(32)(33)(34). On the basis of mean dispersal distances of Cx.…”

Mosquito‐borne disease problems In reply to: The urbanization of tropical countries

“…Studies by Dow et al (1965) near Bakersfield showed that females of this species dispersed and could be recovered 4.0 to 5.6 miles from the release point up to 23 days after the first release and one female was recovered at 9.6 miles. The species therefore can, and does, easily move from nearby agricultural areas where it breeds into the suburbs of the Central Valley cities.…”

Strategies for Surveillance, Prevention, and Control of Arbovirus Diseases in Western North America

“…Most authors have concluded that infiltration of adults from un treated areas have caused population indices to quickly rise to pretreatment levels. 57 6' obtained mixed results in assessing parity status and mosquito infection rates (WEE) after spraying with propoxur from aircraft in Kern County, California. In some sites, they were able to show alteration of parity status and infection rates, but in other sites, the minimum infection rates remained at greater than 1 in 1,000 in the sprayed area.…”
