Assessing the impact of density dependence in field populations of Aedes aegypti

JOURNAL OF VECTOR ECOLOGY, 36(2), 300–307.

By: R. Walsh n, L. Facchinelli *, J. Ramsey *, J. Bond * & F. Gould n 

author keywords: Aedes aegypti; dengue; density dependence; intraspecific competition; larval competition; mosquito control
MeSH headings : Aedes / growth & development; Aedes / physiology; Animals; Body Size; Dengue / transmission; Female; Insect Vectors; Larva; Male; Mexico; Mortality; Population Density
TL;DR: Density had a significant impact on larval survival, adult body size, and the time taken to transition from 4th instar to pupation in field populations of Ae. (via Semantic Scholar)

2008 journal article

Ecological correlates of risk and incidence of West Nile virus in the United States

Oecologia, 158(4), 699–708.

By: B. Allan *, R. Langerhans *, W. Ryberg *, W. Landesman *, N. Griffin *, R. Katz n, B. Oberle *, M. Schutzenhofer* ...

author keywords: Dilution effect; Disease ecology; Emerging infectious diseases; Ecosystem service
MeSH headings : Animals; Biodiversity; Birds / virology; Disease Outbreaks; Humans; Incidence; Population Density; Risk Assessment; United States; West Nile Fever / epidemiology; West Nile Fever / transmission; West Nile Fever / virology; West Nile virus / isolation & purification
TL;DR: Prevalence of West Nile virus infection in mosquito vectors and in humans increased with decreasing bird diversity and with increasing reservoir competence of the bird community, and the results suggest that conservation of avian diversity might help ameliorate the currentWest Nile virus epidemic in the USA.
