Culex mosquitoes in temporary urban rain pools: Seasonal dynamics and relation to environmental variables
The study was conducted in a park of Buenos Aires City, where a total of 89 rain pools were sampled weekly for mosquito immature stages over a one-year period. The aim of the present paper was to investigate the seasonal dynamics of three Culex species breeding in temporary rain pools and to analyze...
