| investigation of mosquitoes with emphasis on aedes (finlaya) poicilius, putative vectorof bancroftian filariasis on panay island, the philippines. | entomological investigations were conducted in four remaining lymphaticfilariasis endemic provinces of panay island, the philippines to determinemosquito species present in these areas and to identify host preference and bitingactivity of aedes (finlaya) poicilius theobald, primary vector of nocturnal periodicwuchereria bancrofti in the philippines. sampling techniques targeted nocturnallyactive mosquito species using a carabao-baited trap (cbt) and human-landingcollection (hlc), the latter taki ... | 2016 | 29620345 |
| biodiversity pattern of mosquitoes in southeastern senegal, epidemiological implication in arbovirus and malaria transmission. | the composition, density, diversity, and temporal distribution of mosquito species and the influence of temperature, relative humidity, and rainfall on these data were investigated in 50 sites across five land cover classes (forest, savannah, barren, village, and agriculture) in southeastern senegal. mosquitoes were collected monthly in each site between june 2009 and march 2011, with three people collecting mosquitoes landing on their legs for one to four consecutive days. in total, 81,219 spec ... | 2019 | 30428055 |
| epidemiologic, entomologic, and virologic factors of the 2014-15 ross river virus outbreak, queensland, australia. | australia experienced its largest recorded outbreak of ross river virus (rrv) during the 2014-15 reporting year, comprising >10,000 reported cases. we investigated epidemiologic, entomologic, and virologic factors that potentially contributed to the scale of the outbreak in queensland, the state with the highest number of notifications (6,371). spatial analysis of human cases showed that notifications were geographically widespread. in brisbane, human case notifications and virus detections in m ... | 2019 | 31742522 |
| evaluation of the performance of different traps for sampling usutu and west nile viruses and mosquito (diptera: culicidae) vectors in senegal. | an efficient trapping tool is one of the most important factors in surveillance and research on arboviruses and their vectors. in the current study, we tested the efficiency of several traps for sampling west nile (wnv) and usutu (usuv) viruses and their vectors in senegal during 2013. a total of 15,527 mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae), 94.3% females, were collected. among the known arbovirus vectors, mansonia uniformis (theobald) (diptera: culicidae) was the most abundant (46.5%), followed by cu ... | 2019 | 30124969 |
| colonization of coquillettidia linealis (skuse) with reference to other coquillettidia and mansonia species. | the immature stages of coquillettidia and mansonia mosquitoes are cryptic and spend the duration of their development attached to the tissues of subsurface aquatic plants. this obligatory association makes them difficult to collect and has precluded detailed investigation of the biology of coquillettidia linealis, a species of significant pest and vector status in australia, as well as other species in the genus coquillettidia in australia and elsewhere. this paper describes the first successful ... | 2019 | 31124246 |
| efficacy of residual insecticide biflex aquamax applied as barrier treatments for managing mosquito populations in suburban residential properties in southeast queensland. | the pyrethroid insecticide biflex aquamax (bifenthrin) was evaluated for its ability to suppress coastal mosquito populations in a controlled suburban backyard study in mango hill, queensland, australia. the insecticide was applied to perimeter vegetation, fencing in selected backyards, or both, and mosquito populations were monitored weekly from 3 wk before to 8 wk after treatment (11 wk total) by using cdc miniature light traps and human bait landing rates. in addition, bioassays were conducte ... | 2012 | 23025182 |
| transmission intensity and malaria vector population structure in magugu, babati district in northern tanzania. | a 1-year longitudinal study was conducted in magugu in babati district, northern tanzania to determine malaria vector population structure and malaria transmission indices. mosquitoes were sampled using the centre for disease control (cdc) light traps. a total of 110,357 adult female mosquitoes were collected. anopheles gambiae s.1. accounted 25% of the total female mosquito collected. relatively fewer an. funestus were collected. other mosquito species collected were an. pharoensis, an. coustan ... | 2011 | 24409648 |
| malakal virus from africa and kimberley virus from australia are geographic variants of a widely distributed ephemerovirus. | kimberley virus (kimv) is an arthropod-borne rhabdovirus that was isolated in 1973 and on several subsequent occasions from healthy cattle, mosquitoes (culex annulirostris) and biting midges (culicoides brevitarsis) in australia. malakal virus (malv) is an antigenically related rhabdovirus isolated in 1963 from mosquitoes (mansonia uniformis) in sudan. we report here the complete genome sequences of kimv (15442 nt) and malv (15444 nt). the genomes have a similar organisation (3'-l-n-p-m-g-g(ns)- ... | 2012 | 22925335 |
