Mechanistic model for predicting the seasonal abundance of Culicoides biting midges and the impacts of insecticide control

Abstract Background Understanding seasonal patterns of abundance of insect vectors is important for optimisation of control strategies of vector-borne diseases. Environmental drivers such as temperature, humidity and photoperiod influence vector abundance, but it is not generally known how these dri...
