A Simple Method for Quantifying Larval Locomotion in Drosophila melanogaster
The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is a powerful genetic model that has been used for many decades to study nervous system function, development,...
-
A cell atlas of the larval Aedes aegypti ventral nerve cord
Mosquito-borne diseases account for nearly 1 million human deaths annually, yet we have a limited understanding of developmental events that...

Larval habitat stability and productivity in two sites in Southern Ghana
BackgroundMosquito larval source management (LSM) is a valuable additional tool for malaria vector control. Understanding the characteristics of...
-
Diversity of larval habitats of Anopheles mosquitoes in urban areas of Benin and influence of their physicochemical and bacteriological characteristics on larval density
BackgroundThe implementation of anti-larval strategies in the fight against malaria vectors requires fundamental knowledge of their oviposition...
