Dalpadado, R.; Amarasinghe, D.; Gunathilaka, N.; Ariyarathna, N. (BioMed Central, London, 2022)

Background: The lack of information on behavioural patterns of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus has become a significant limitation in vector control and disease management programmes. Therefore, the current study was ...
A Challenge for a unique dengue vector control programme: Assessment of the spatial variation of Insecticide resistance status amongst Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus populations in Gampaha District, Sri Lanka

Dalpadado, R.; Gunathilaka, N.; Amarasinghe, D.; Udayanaga, L. (BioMed Central, 2021)

BACKGROUND: To date, dengue is considered an important public health problem in Sri Lanka. Irrational use of insecticides without evidence-based applications has primed the development of resistance in mosquito vectors. ...

Dalpadado, R.; Amarasinghe, D.; Gunathilaka, N.; Wijayanayake, A. (International Research and Innovation Symposium on Dengue amidst the Pandemic, 2022)

Introduction and objectives The growing global threat of dengue in both endemic and non-endemic countries have shifted the attention to establishing an early warning system to assist in dengue control and effectively ...
The effect of egg desiccation period on the hatching success, morphometrics of emerged larvae and F1 generation adults of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae)

Kumari, A. G. Y. G.; Dalpadado, R.; Amarasinghe, L. D. (Faculty of Science, University of Kelaniya Sri Lanka, 2023)
