[comparative studies on diapause responses between culex tritaeniorhynchus and culex pipiens pallens].by comparing the diapause responses between locally hibernating species, c. pipiens pallens, and c. tritaeniorhynchus the overwintering way of which is yet unknown, we found the relative identities of these 2 species in their ovarian diapause criteria, change of the mid-gut and the behaviour of refusing blood feeding. the increases in body weight and fatty contents in the dispersed tritaeniorhynchus were much less than those in diapause pipiens species. moreover, their ability to resist low temp ...19892766496
enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to detect antigens of dirofilaria immitis (spirunida: filariidae) larvae in aedes albopictus and culex tritaeniorhynchus (diptera: culicidae).an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) method was developed for detecting the larval antigens of dirofilaria immitis (leidy) in aedes albopictus (skuse) and culex tritaeniorhynchus giles to replace the conventional dissection method. the assay was sensitive enough to detect 21.3 ng/ml (2.13 ng per microplate well) or more of the soluble antigen obtained from adult worms and an antigen amount corresponding to at least one larva at any developing stage. no inhibitory effect of host tissues w ...19892709386
size of blood meals of aedes albopictus and culex tritaeniorhynchus (diptera: culicidae) feeding on an unrestrained dog infected with dirofilaria immitis (spirurida: filariidae).blood meal volume was determined for two species of mosquitoes, aedes albopictus (skuse) and culex tritaeniorhynchus giles, recently demonstrated to be natural vectors of canine heartworm in japan. when fed on unrestrained dogs, volumes were from 1 nl to 6 microliters in both species, but percentages of engorged mosquitoes were 45.2-64.3% for ae. albopictus and 11.9-22.2% for cx. tritaeniorhynchus. ae. albopictus preferred to feed on human bait versus canine bait when both were exposed concurren ...19892585448

comparison of the lipid composition of culex quinquefasciatus and culex tritaeniorhynchus cells obtained from the logarithmic and stationary phases of growth.culex quinquefasciatus and culex tritaeniorhynchus cells were grown in spinner culture medium. the cells were harvested at late logarithmic and stationary phases of growth. the total lipid, total neutral lipid, and total phospholipid contents of the cells were analyzed to determine changes that occurred in the fatty acid profiles of the lipids with aging and between species. there was an increase in the amount of total neutral lipids with a corresponding decrease in amount of total phospholipid ...19761250065
neutral lipid composition of culex quinquefasciatus and culex tritaeniorhynchus cells at two phases of growth.the mosquito cells culex quinquefasciatus and culex tritaeniorhynchus were grown in spinner cultures. the fatty acid profiles of the neutral lipid classes were analyzed, and comparisons were made between the two species at logarithmic and stationary phases of growth and between the species and the medium. the results from the data suggest an increase in the average chain length of the fatty acids in the free fatty acid and sterol ester fractions of the culex quinquefasciatus cells with aging. fr ...19761250064

japanese encephalitis virus in northern taiwan, 1969-1973.sentinel pigs were bled and mosiquitoes were collected for isolation of japanese encephalitis virus (jev) between 1969 and 1973 in a rural area of northern taiwan which reported a high annual incidence of human cases. the study site included a farmyard, schools, a bat cave, rice paddies and a heronry. although culex annulus was collected in every month of the year, isolations were made only in midsummer and only from culex annulus and (once) from culex tritaeniorhynchus. these isolates were usua ...1976180845
arbovirus infections in sarawak: the role of the domestic pig.the possible role of pigs as arbovirus maintenance hosts and their importance as amplifier hosts was studied. blood samples from 464 pigs of all ages collected in 1962 and 1964 were tested against 10 arboviruses. antibodies to japanese encephalitis and getah viruses were particularly prevalent and their calculated monthly infection rates were 19-5% and 13-3% respectively. in 1969, 447 pigs were bled monthly throughout the year and the infection rates for japanese encephalitis virus were calculat ...19761265821

host preference of mosquito vectors of japanese encephalitis.the host preference of 4 culex mosquito species collected in miaoli and pingtung counties, taiwan was studied by capillary precipitin method. antisera to alum-precipitated sera of man, bovine, swine, rabbit, horse, dog, cat, mouse, chicken, duck, and pigeon were produced in rabbits and reacted with 758 mosquito blood meals among which reactions to one or more antisera. culex annulus and culex tritaeniorhynchus summorosus showed a great avidity for pig, and culex fuscocephala for bovine. culex pi ...1975181218
experimental transmission of japanese encephalitis virus by culex tritaeniorhynchus and c. fuscocephalus.experimental transmission of japanese encephalitis virus from swine to baby chicks was accomplished using culex tritaeniorhynchus and culex fuscocephalus, two of three mosquito species in taiwan from which the virus has been recovered in nature. whereas neither species had become infective by the twelfth day, one of ten c. fuscocephalus and 11 of 51 c. tritaeniorhynchus were infective by the seventeenth day of extrinsic incubation as verified by viraemia in chicks fed upon by potentially infecti ...1975168819
arbovirus infections in sarawak, october 1968--february 1970 tembusu and sindbis virus isolations from mosquitoes.thirty isolations of tembusu virus and four of sindbis virus were obtained from approximately 280 000 mosquitoes collected between october 1968 and february 1970 in sarawak, particularly from k. tijirak, a land dyak village 19 miles south of kuching. twenty-two isolations of tembusu virus and two of sindbis virus were from culex tritaeniorhynchus; two of tembusu virus and two of sindbis virus came from culex gelidus. tembusu virus was active throughout the year at k. tijirak, the highest infecti ...1975235907
japanese encephalitis virus from pigs and mosquitoes in jakarta, indonesia.japanese encephalitis virus was isolated from 11 pools of culex tritaeniorhynchus and a single pool of c. gelidus mosquitoes at a pig-raising area near jakarta, west java, indonesia, during 1972-74. ten sentinel pigs placed in the area all developed haemagglutination-inhibition antibodies against japanese encephalitis and the virus was isolated from the blood of 3.19757033
development of an attenuated strain for japanese encephalitis live virus vaccine for porcine use.to develop japanese encephalitis live virus vaccine for the prevention of stillbirth in swine, an attempt was made to produce an attenuated virus. primary bovine kidney cell culture was used to carry out serial passages of a field strain at 30 degrees c for a long time. during these passages cloning was repeated with the character of reproductive capacity at given temperature (rct) and plaque sizes as markers. as a result, an attenuated s- strain was produced successfully. it was rct/37- and rct ...19751121330
growth of japanese encephalitis virus in culex tritaeniorhynchus cell cultures.ovarian cells from the mosquito culex tritaeniorhynchus established in continuous tissue cultures have been found to support the growth of japanese encephalitis virus with titers reaching as high as 10(7.36) micld50 per 0.03 ml. virus-cell cultures were serially subcultured 60 times over 300 days and the virulence of the virus was determined after each passage. a gradual loss in virus titer was observed, with titers always higher in the medium than in the cells. cytopathogenic effects were not o ...19751238028
