Document Summary

Identify the mosquito species, see what entity in vector capable of infecting a host (latent periods: there is a geographic coincidence between the distribution of the putative vector and the geographic distribution of the disease. Malaria in quebec people had active malaria in. Quebec, where mosquitoes stayed long enough to under latent period bite others and spread: there is a temporal association between the appearance of the disease in the population and the activity of the vector. In the simplest case, the course of the epidemic parallels, but follows, the biting activity of the vector. The time between the date of the peak activity of the vector and the peak of the epidemic will be approximately equal to the length of the incubation period. ) period of biting activity; very specific flight periods not all transmit dcos.
