“…The results indicated variation in temperature from 29.98 o C to 31.05 o C, and there were no much variation in pH values ranging from 6.37 -6.74. This is In agreement with other studies which report that a wide range of pH levels from 6.5 to 8.0 is suitable for Aedes mosquito survival and breeding (Waewwab et al, 2019). According to Umar and Donpedro (2008), the pH of the breeding habitats of mosquitoes interferes with osmoregulation and oxygen transport mechanisms.…”

Aedes aegypti is the primary vector for some arboviral diseases such as Yellow fever, dengue, zika and chikungunya. This specie of invasive mosquito has gained attention globally because of their fast-spreading trend and successful adaptation. This study was designed to determine the larval abundance and physic-chemical parameters of Aedes aegypti from three breeding sites within Kano metropolis. Determination of larval abundance was performed using ovitraps according to the protocol described by Wan-Norafikah et al., 2012. Twenty ovitraps were placed BUK old site, BUK New site and SOT from April – September, 2023. Physico-chemical parameters such as pH, Temperature, Electrical conductivity, Dissolved Oxygen, Total Dissolved Solids, Turbidity and Total Suspended Solids were measured for all breeding habitats. A total of 2959 Aedes aegypti larvae were collected in the study areas within Kano metropolis which comprised of BUK old site 31.80%, BUK New Site 32.75% and School of Technology (Kano Poly) 35.45%. The study revealed that temperature ranges from 29.98oC to 31.05oC, pH range of 6.37 – 6.74, TDS level of 109.80 – 305.09 mg/L and Electrical Conductivity ranges from 270 – 390 µS/cm. It can be concluded from this study that Aedes aegypti are abundant in the study area and also physic-chemical parameters of the breeding habitats showed significant variations among the three breeding habitats. This data may help in management of Aedes aegypti especially in eliminating stagnant water which serves as the breeding habitat.

The purpose of this study is to examine the awareness and perception of malaria and dengue fever in Multan Punjab, Pakistan while taking into account the important role of government policies and other variables. The goal of this study is to examine the awareness of students in Multan, Pakistan on malaria and dengue. This study is based on a quantitative approach of secondary evidence from scientific journals and questionnaire surveys. It is also based on observational evidence gathered in Multan Punjab Pakistan, in a field study. The survey with school children, teachers and healthcare professionals were both formal and semi-structuralize. Studies have found that malaria and dengue mainly affect children’s schooling through their absence, but can also induce brain loss and cognitive disability. In questionnaires, students were seen to have different understanding of the illness, but also to be able to serve as agents of health reform only through teachers. A sample size of 500 respondents has been selected from different colleges of district Multan Punjab, Pakistan. Correlation technique is used for the data analysis. According to our results it is concluded that the students at college level are aware of malaria and dengue diseases, but they are not capable of engaging and serving as agents for health reform. On the basis of results it is recommended that students must teach about epidemics diseases regarding how to handle these diseases.

“…We attributed these shape differences to evolutionary divergence, even though there was likely also environmentally induced variation. In our sample, the main sources of possible environmental influence on metric properties could be the following: the number of generations spent in the (same) laboratory, and the water used for larval development [ 40 ]. The number of generations before morphometric analyses differed between the four species; therefore, some of the metric differences we found here could be due also to laboratory effects, especially for Ae.…”

Accurate identification of mosquito species is critically important for monitoring and controlling the impact of human diseases they transmit. Here, we investigate four mosquito species: Aedes aegypti, Ae. albopictus, Ae. scutellaris and Verrallina dux that co-occur in tropical and subtropical regions, and whose morphological similarity challenges their accurate identification, a crucial requirement in entomological surveillance programs. Previous publications reveal a clear taxonomic signal embedded in wing cell landmark configuration, as well as in the external contour of the wings. We explored this signal for internal cells of the wings as well, to determine whether internal cells could uniformly provide the same taxonomic information. For each cell to be tentatively assigned to its respective species, i.e., to measure the amount of its taxonomic information, we used the shape of its contour, rather than its size. We show that (i) the taxonomic signal of wing shape is not uniformly spread among internal cells of the wing, and (ii) the amount of taxonomic information of a given cell depends on the species under comparison. This unequal taxonomic signal of internal cells is not related to size, nor to apparent shape complexity. The strong taxonomic signal of some cells ensures that even partly damaged wings can be used to improve species recognition.
