Blood-feeding patterns of Culex quinquefasciatus and other culicines and implications for disease transmission in Mwea rice scheme, Kenya.

abstract：:Despite the fact that cestodes represent major etiological agents of both human and domestic animal diseases, little is known about the molecular aspects of cestode development. In this work, Mesocestoides corti, a model cestode species, was studied from the early development of its larval form (tetrathyridium) into a...
