Diversity of Mosquitoes (Diptera, Culicidae) and Physico-Chemical Characterization of Th eir Larval Habitats in Tizi-Ouzou area, Algeria

Many mosquito species are considered as vectors of several pathogens responsible of serious infectious diseases including Malaria, Dengue, Chikungunia and Rift Valley Fever. The characterization of the larval habitat of these arthropods is an important step for a nuisance/vector control program. In...
