distribution of aedes aegypti (linnaeus) and aedes albopictus (skuse) in small towns and villages of penang island, malaysia--an ovitrap survey.	an ovitrap survey was carried out in april and may of 1975 at twenty-one locations scattered throughout penang island excluding the city of georgetown. the results showed the ubiquitous presence of ae. albopictus. ae. aegypti was recorded only in tanjung tokong lama, an area adjacent to the city of georgetown. in the survey, ae. albopictus females were found to prefer the outdoor ovitraps than indoor ones. the effectiveness of ovitrap in aedes survey was discussed.	1975	1226538
california encephalitis virus development in mosquitoes as revealed by transmission studies, immunoperoxidase staining, and electron microscopy.	isolates of the snowshoe hare subtype of california encephalitis (ce) virus from yukon mosquitoes during 1972 and 1973 were transmitted by bites of aedes aegypti mosquitoes after 4 to 5 weeks of extrinsic incubation at 55 degrees f after intrathoracic injection, and the 1973 strain was transmitted after mosquitoes were fed virus and held for 3 to 4 weeks at 75 degrees f. antigen of a 1971 isolate of ce virus (marsh lake 23) was detected in salivary glands of infected mosquitoes by the immunopero ...	1975	235355
transmission of hog hog cholera virus by mosquitoes.	mosquitoes trapped during an epizootic of hog cholera (hc) in maryland in 1969 were prepared into 40 pools which were inoculated in pigs. hog cholera virus was confirmed in pigs inoculated with 8 of 40 pools of mosquitoes. generally, the pigs contracting hc developed chronic infections with persistent viremia that lasted 30 or more days. two pigs seemed healthy when euthatized 62 and 80 days after inoculation, yet viremia of high titer was detected in each. experimental studies were performed wi ...	1975	237444
pathogen transmission in relation to feeding and digestion by haematophagous arthropods.	the blood feeding habit, especially among opportunist feeders such as tabanids and stomoxys is known to result in transmission of diseases for which the vectors are not the obligate or alternate hosts. thus, mechanical transmission of trypanosomes such as t. vivax can occur in cattle herds outside tsetse fly areas where tabanids are actively feeding. in the case of yaws, mechanical transmission of the spirochaetes by eye flies (hippelates pallipes) in the west indies is thought to be most likely ...	1975	240257
epidemiological features of dengue and chikungunya infections in burma.	a serological survey for antibody to dengue and chikungunya was carried out in all 14 divisions and states and 2 border towns in burma during 1973-74. dengue hi antibody prevalence rate of less than 10% was observed in arakan and shan states, 10 to 30% in the irrawaddy, pegu, mandalay divisions and kachin, mon and karen states, 31 to 60% in sagaing division, and over 60% in rangoon, magwe and tenasserim divisions. similarly, chikungunya hi antibody prevalence rate of less than 10% was observed i ...	1975	126493
insecticide susceptibility of some vector fleas and mosquitoes in burma.	rat fleas and mosquitoes are insect vectors of public health importance in burma. plague is endemic in central burma and ddt has been the principal insecticide used for its control to date. dengue haemorrhagic fever, recently introduced and transmitted by aedes aegypti, has been spreading to major towns since 1971. the rodents, rattus rattus, r. exulans, bandicota bengalensis, mus musculus, as well as shrews were commonly caught during routine trapping in the country. rattus norvegicus, prevalen ...	1975	131975
studies with brugia pahangi 10. an attempt to demonstrate the sharing of antigenic determinants between the worm and its hosts.	infective stage brugia pahangi that were reared in aedes aegypti survived equally well in cats that had previously been immunized against mosquito tissue and in a normal cat. the survival of third, fourth, juvenile, adult and microfilarial stages of b. pahangi that were recovered from cats was similar in jirds that had been immunized against cat antigens and in normal jirds. host antigenic determinants were not detected on the surface of larvae in substantial amounts using fluorescent antibody t ...	1975	50339
an agent in the aedes aegypti cell line (peleg) which causes fusion of aedes albopictus cells.		1975	806166
isolation of chikungunya virus contaminating an aedes albopictus cell line.	an aedes albopictus cell line was found contaminated with structures morphologically compatible with an alphavirus. rapid isolation of a cytopathic virus was effected by combining sonication, concentration with aquacide ii-r, rate zonal sedimentation and subsequent plating of fractions on vero cells under agar overlay. the virus caused neithedeath nor disease on inoculation into infant and adult mice. it produced a c.p.e. in vero and bhk 21 cells, and multiplied in singh's aedes aegypti cells. t ...	1975	806659
adaptation studies with ross river virus: retention of field level virulence.	two field strains of ross river virus (rrv) which differed in virulence for laboratory mice were maintained without detectable change in virulence when passaged alternately in aedes aegypti mosquitoes and newborn mice. no biological mechanism or selection pressure was identified to explain this suppression of the usual change to higher virulence observed when rrv is passed serially in infant mice. the maintenance of initial virulence by alternating passages appears to be related to the fact that ...	1975	808589
multiplication of venezuelan equine encephalitis (mucambo) virus in cultured mosquito cells.	venezuelan equine encephalitis (mucambo) virus was able to multiply at 28degree c in cultured mosquito cells (aedes aegypti and aedes albopictus) without inducing any apparent cytopathology. the kinetics of virus multiplication was similar in mosquito and mammalian (vero) cells. twelve to twenty four hours post-infection, a maximum of 10-50 per cent of the cells were engaged in virus production; however, almost immediately this proportion fell abruptly tending to stabilize in the order of 0.01 t ...	1975	813617
[the mechanism controlling the crossing of the vector's stomach wall by microfilariae (dipetalonema dessetae-aedes aegypti)].	in some of the human filariasis, the number of microfiliariae which succeed in crossing the vector's stomach wall is smaller when the number of ingested microfilariae is larger (limitation). in the couple dipetalonema dessetae-aedes aegypti, this phenomenon appears to be due to a specific lysis of the stomach cells invaded by the microfilariae. this reaction is started when the microfilariae are very numberous. there is "information" transmitted to the whole of the vector's stomach.	1975	813899

genetic manipulation of aedes aegypti: incorporation and maintenance of a genetic marker and a chromosomal translocation in natural populations.	studies with aedes aegypti were undertaken to determine if an alien genotype can be (1) incorporated into a natural population and (2) maintained for several generations on its own without any subsequent introductions. such information is an essential prerequisite for successful application of any genetic control method. data from a walk-in, field population cage and from field releases of a genetic marker and a chromosomal translocation have demonstrated both genetic incorporation and persisten ...	1973	4541148
sequential application of ultra-low-volume ground aerosols of fenitrothion for sustained control of aedes aegypti.	a trial was carried out of the efficacy of fenitrothion ultra-low-volume aerosol applied by vehicle-mounted cold aerosol generator for the control of aedes aegypti. five applications of fenitrothion at intervals of 11-49 days at dosages of 511-1 095 ml/ha gave sustained control for 4-5 months in an area of some 14 ha containing 1 300 houses. immediate killing of adult mosquitos and some larvicidal effect interrupted oviposition and retarded the recovery of the mosquito population. sequential tre ...	1973	4543550
breeding places and seasonal incidence of aedes aegypti, as assessed by the single-larva survey method.	the single-larva survey method was employed to study the breeding places and seasonal incidence of aedes aegypti in dar es salaam, tanzania. from may 1968 to may 1969, 28 462 containers of water-located in approximately equal numbers indoors and outdoors-were investigated. the highest frequency of breeding (8.0%) of a. aegypti was observed in tires and motor parts. drums, barrels, water-pots, and other receptacles left outdoors showed a higher frequency (3.1%) than those kept indoors (0.6%). met ...	1973	4544149
diel periodicity in the landing of aedes aegypti on man.	the dynamics of transmission of disease agents by vectors depends, in part, on the probability of host-vector contact, which can vary with fluctuations of both host and vector. as important as seasonal variations is 24-hour periodicity in activity. periodicity in the landing of males and females of aedes aegypti on man has been assessed by means of catches of 15 hours or longer, with several persons as a bait. the assessments were made in a suburban area of tanzania and continued throughout one ...	1973	4544150
arbovirus studies in luanda, angola. 1. virological and serological studies during a yellow fever epidemic.	a yellow fever epidemic broke out in luanda, angola, in january 1971 and was halted in less than 3 months by prompt mass vaccination and intensive antimosquito measures. nine strains of yellow fever virus were isolated from hospitalized cases, but attempts to isolate the virus from aedes aegypti mosquitos failed. a serological survey for antibodies to arboviruses in 589 sera from unvaccinated persons showed that two arboviruses were circulating in the epidemic area: the yellow fever virus and th ...	1973	4545154
