Studies on the Japanese encephalitis vectors in Amphoe Muang, Chiang Mai, Northern Thailand
From February 1987 to January 1988, biological and ecological studies were made to obtain the basic knowledge of Japanese encephalitis vectors, Culex tritaeniorhynchus, Cx. gelidus, and Cx. fuscocephala, in Amphoe Muang, Chiang Mai, northern Thailand. The following results were found. Peaks in the p...
