Recent Ecological, Physiological And Protein Profile Of The Dengue Vector Population In Penang Island, Malaysia

Inadequate knowledge regarding the risk factors and their interaction is the key problem to face dengue threat. An efficient control of its vectors requires a deep understanding of ecological, physiological and molecular components of their population dynamics. In view with this inference, the study...
