Effect of meteorological factors on Culex mosquitoes in Singapore: a time series analysis

Culex mosquitoes transmit West Nile virus (WNV). We examined the weather dependence of adult Culex activity. Maximum temperature and absolute humidity were positively associated with adult Culex activity. Our findings support the use of weather data in timing WNV vector control measures. SUPPLEMENTA...
