The Anostraca (crustacea : Branchiopoda) of southern Africa.
(1994)The Anostraca are a group of crustaceans belonging to the class Branchiopoda. They are predominantly restricted to temporary, inland waterbodies, which in southern Africa, include rockpools, animal wallows, and large ... -
Aspects of the biology, specific status and control of the bedbugs Cimex lectularius and Cimex hemipterus in northern Natal and KwaZulu.
(1989)The bedbugs Cimex lectularius and C. hemipterus (Hemiptera: Cimicidae) have been identified from a study area in northern Natal and KwaZulu. South Africa, between 26° 45' S and 28° 45' S, and 32° 00 ' E and 32° 52' E. ... -
The ecology, over-wintering and population dynamics of the pre-imaginal stages of the Anopheles gambiae Giles complex (Diptera : culicidae) in northern Natal, South Africa.
(1991)This study investigated aspects of the breeding biology, ecophysiology, morphology, over-wintering and population dynamics of the pre-imaginal stages of members of the Anopheles gambiae complex in northern Natal, South ... -
Ecophysiology and population dynamics of the alien invasive gastropod Tarebia granifera in the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, South Africa.
(2012)Tarebia granifera is a prosobranch freshwater gastropod from south-east Asia which has invaded other sub-tropical parts of the world. This snail has recently also invaded the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, often reaching ... -
Effect of soil factors on parasitic nematodes of sugarcane in KwaZulu- Natal, South Africa.
(2004)Nematicides are not only expensive and unaffordable to small-scale farmers but are also harmful to the environment as they kill both the target organisms and non-target micro and macro-organisms, thereby destabilising the ... -
Effects of temperature on members of the Anopheles gambiae complex (Diptera: Culicidae) in South Africa : implications for malaria transmission and control.
(1996)This study investigated the effects of temperature and relative humidity (both controlled and natural) on the lifecyle and morphology of adults of members of the Anopheles gambiae complex in northern KwaZulu-Natal, South ... -
The invasive potential of the freshwater snail Radix rubiginosa recently introduced into South Africa.
(2011)Invasions of ecosystems by exotic species are increasing and they may often act as a significant driver of the homogenization of the Earth’s biota, resulting in global biodiversity loss. Moreover, the addition of exotic ... -
Plant molluscicides for snail control in the South African context.
(1994)Despite more than half a century of international research on schistosomiasis control, this disease remains a public health concern in many Third World countries. Four to five percent of the world's population is estimated ... -
