   Can Anopheles re-establish?

Furthermore, the cost per person of eliminating anopheles mosquitoes rises with decreasing population density, making it economically unfeasible in some areas.

The life cycle is from 18 days to several weeks. The genus Culex is a carrier of viral encephalitis and, in tropical and subtropical climates, of filariasis.
