Aedes aegypti is closely related to human behavior that allows its establishment through the accumulation of urban solid waste where it lays resistant eggs. Generally, adulticides and larvicides are applied in excess, without ovicidal alternatives, and some household products can help reduce the abundance of quiescent eggs in breeding sites by affecting the viability of eggs. A community involved in prevention and control is one of the most effective strategies for adequate vector management.

Article Synopsis
  • Gelatinous organisms like hydromedusae play vital roles in marine ecosystems, yet the temperate Southwestern Atlantic (SWA) is lacking comprehensive ecological data on them.
  • A study analyzed nearly 3,727 plankton samples over 31 years, revealing two significant hot spots for hydromedusae with peak abundances and identifying key species driving population spikes.
  • The findings highlight how hydromedusae diversity in the SWA compares to temperate regions globally and underscore the need for ongoing research in the context of global warming and gelatinous zooplankton dynamics.
