laboratory bioassay studies to determine methoprene susceptibility in a natural population of ochlerotatus taeniorhynchus from the florida keys.larvae of florida keys ochlerotatus taeniorhynchus collected from no name key were colonized and evaluated against technical s-methoprene in laboratory beaker tests. glassware was treated with a silanizing reagent before testing to prevent methoprene attachment to the glassware. the no name key strain was compared with a susceptible laboratory strain of oc. taeniorhynchus. five serial dilutions (0.0100, 0.0050, 0.0010, 0.0005, and 0.0001 microg/ml) and an untreated control were evaluated. tests ...200212083352
aircraft-mediated mosquito transport: new direct evidence.a case is reported of a capture of an aedes taeniorhynchus female mosquito in an aircraft cabin as it attempted to bloodfeed on one of the authors during a transoceanic flight from the usa to the iberian peninsula.200011198921
phylogenetic relationships among eighteen neotropical culicini species.the subgeneric relationships among 8 generic and infrageneric taxa of the culicini tribe were examined by cladistic analysis based on 30 larval mouthpart characters (maxillae and mandibles) of 7 subgenera of culex l. and 1 of deinocerites theobald. we analyzed 18 ingroup species as well as deinocerites melanophylum dyar and knab as a sister group, and aedes taeniorhynchus wiedemann as an outgroup. a parsimony analysis using the nona program resulted in 2 trees each of 109 steps (consistency and ...200010901630
evaluation of attractant-baited traps/targets for mosquito management on key island, florida, usa.a three-year research project was conducted on key island, collier county, florida, usa, to evaluate an innovative attractant-based mosquito management technique. in the first year, species composition, relative abundance, and spatial distribution were determined. although 16 species were collected, the dominant species was the black salt march mosquito, aedes taeniorhynchus, which was the primary pest species. efficacy of a single line barrier, consisting of 52 carbon dioxide (200 cc/min) + oct ...19989879073
construction of a field trap for initiating an ovipositional response in aedes taeniorhynchus.an oviposition trap was constructed for the black saltmarsh mosquito, aedes taeniorhynchus. the trap consisted of a 50 x 60-cm piece of contaminated 100% cotton bath towel, saturated with 85% tap water, a container, and a cover of dried plant parts placed over the contaminated toweling. this combination initiated oviposition. contamination of the toweling was due to populations of bacteria and fungi. the eggs recovered were free from soil and debris.19968887231
release of romanomermis iyengari (nematoda:mermithidae) to control aedes taeniorhynchus (diptera:culicidae) in punta del este, isla de la juventud, cuba.preparasites of romanomermis iyengari welch were applied at the rate of 1,000 preparasites per square meter of surface area in 5 natural breeding sites in carbonate rock depressions to control aedes taeniorhynchus wiedeman larvae. larval parasitism averaged 100, 97, 81, and 80% in 1-4 instars, respectively. three of 5 sites produced parasitism in excess of 90%. the range of salinity and water depth had little influence on the levels of parasitism. ae. taeniorhynchus density was reduced from 78 t ...19968699466
influence of ground ulv droplet spectra on adulticide efficacy for aedes taeniorhynchus.a series of 76 field trials in a vegetated habitat with caged adult aedes taeniorhyncus mosquitoes determined that ground ultra-low volume treatment efficiency was significantly influenced by droplet size. small droplets (7-microns volume median diameter [vmd]) produced the lowest mosquito mortality at all test distances (100-500 ft.). a vmd of 26 microns was effective at 100-300 ft., but was not effectual at 400-500 ft. droplets in the 15-microns range were the most effective overall, at the di ...19968827622
do fish repel oviposition by aedes taeniorhynchus?we tested the hypothesis that fish indirectly control mosquitoes by repelling oviposition. aedes taeniorhynchus oviposition in mangrove forests, natural pools, and excavated pools with different concentrations of fish was compared. oviposition in adjacent mangrove forests was concentrated in the site with the lowest fish density. in 3 mangrove forests, egg populations from pool banks were significantly (p < 0.001) lower for pools with fish than for fishless pools, with an overall mean +/- sd of ...19947807080
acoustical detection of aedes taeniorhynchus swarms and emergence exoduses in remote salt marshes.swarms and emergency exoduses of aedes taeniorhynchus mosquitoes produce sounds detectable from 10 to 50 m in a quiet environment. background noise levels as low as 21 db (decibels referenced to 20 micropa) are present at dusk between frequencies of 0.3 and 3.4 khz. a mosquito swarm with a sound pressure level of 25-35 db is detectable over tens of meters in the marsh, if not in the 40-60-db background noise of a typical urban environment. individually caged ae. taeniorhynchus also are detectabl ...19948965083

effects of host resistance and injury on the susceptibility of aedes taeniorhynchus to mosquito iridescent virus.an iridescent virus is found at low prevalence in population of aedes taenirhynchus. attempts at experimental transmission produced low levels of infection, regardless of the dosage applied. in a test for genetic resistance in colonized ae. taeniorhynchus, the mean infection rates +/- sd for groups of randomly selected and sibling larvae were compared. the standard deviation of the sibling groups was not higher than the random groups (4.0 +/- 3.1% and 3.0 +/- 2.1%), rendering genetic resistance ...19948014628
application of radar rainfall estimates for surveillance of aedes taeniorhynchus larvae.a preliminary investigation of land-based radar rainfall estimates for surveillance of aedes taeniorhynchus larvae was conducted from january 1 to may 21, 1991 in collier county, fl. rainfall estimates from the national weather service radap ii radar system, supplemented with tide gauge data, served as criteria for larval inspection. rain, rain+tide and tide, respectively, triggered 48, 26 and 26% of the 14 proposed inspection trips. this system detected 7/8 larval broods found by collier mosqui ...19938350081
small plot evaluation of a sustained-release sand granule formulation of methoprene (san 810 i 1.3 gr) for control of aedes taeniorhynchus.a sand granule formulation of methoprene (san 810 i 1.3 gr) was tested in outdoor intermittently flooded pools as a pre- and postflood treatment for the control of aedes taeniorhynchus. in field test 1, pre- and postflood treatments were equally effective. inhibition of emergence in mosquitoes exceeded 90% for one and 3 flood/dry cycles when san 810 i 1.3 gr was applied at rates of 2.8 and 5.6 kg/ha, respectively. in field test 2, > 90% inhibition of emergence was achieved only when san 810 i 1. ...19938350071
eggshells as an index of aedine mosquito production. 2: relationship of aedes taeniorhynchus eggshell density to larval production.to test if eggshell density could be used as an index of aedine mosquito production, we compared eggshell density with the larval production of aedes taeniorhynchus in florida mangrove basin forests. quantitative (n = 7) and categorical (n = 34) estimates of annual larval production were regressed against the number of eggshells per cc of soil. significant regressions were obtained in both instances. larval production was concentrated in zones with the highest eggshell density. we suggest that e ...19921583487
eggshells as an index of aedine mosquito production. 1: distribution, movement and sampling of aedes taeniorhynchus eggshells.the distribution of aedes taeniorhynchus eggshells in florida mangrove basin forests was determined and used to design a sampling plan. eggshells were found in 10/11 sites (91%), with a mean +/- se density of 1.45 +/- 0.75/cc; density did not change significantly year to year. highest densities were located on the sloping banks of hummocks, ponds and potholes. eggshells were less clumped in distribution than eggs and larvae and thus required a smaller sample size for a given precision level. whi ...19921583486
distribution and sampling of aedes taeniorhynchus (diptera: culicidae) eggs in a florida mangrove forest.the distribution of aedes taeniorhynchus (wiedemann) eggs in a florida mangrove basin forest was quantified and used to design a sampling plan. eggs were found in detritus-rich soil with the highest densities in a band at elevations 0.1-0.2 m above the water line. dispersion indices (k and taylor's b) indicated that the eggs were aggregated; 14 of 16 populations tested fit the negative binomial distribution. a fixed-size sampling plan using systematic sampling was designed from these data.19912056510
collection and separation of aedes taeniorhynchus eggshells from mangrove soil.two methods to separate eggshells of aedes taeniorhynchus from mangrove soil were compared. selective sieving, using nested sieves with 0.185 and 0.170-mm screen openings, and water flotation both removed over 99% of the soil. however, water flotation recovered a significantly greater percentage of eggshells (62% vs. 34%). there was no significant difference in the recovery rate of viable eggs and new and old eggshells using water flotation.19912045802
effects of controlled burning on aedes taeniorhynchus eggs in an abandoned rice impoundment in south carolina.controlled burning reduced the number of viable eggs in an aedes population. the effectiveness of the burn was related to the amount of rainfall, surface moisture and dry vegetation. a greater reduction in viable eggs occurred when the burn was close to the ground. variable results were achieved if the surface was moist but there was a significant reduction in the number of viable eggs, due to a heavy amount of dry vegetation accompanied by low rainfall.19902230784
nectar-feeding habits of aedes taeniorhynchus.aedes taeniorhynchus were collected on the wing at several times during the day and night, in indian river and brevard county, florida. nonblooded females were individually analyzed for fructose and glycogen. fructose content of mosquitoes collected early in the morning and held without food during the day diminished to approximately the same level as in mosquitoes collected late in the afternoon. however, fructose content of mosquitoes collected before sunset and held without food overnight dim ...19902370536
small plot test of sustained-release altosid (methoprene) pellets against aedes taeniorhynchus in brackish water.four percent methoprene pellets applied at a rate of 2.2 kg/ha effectively controlled adult aedes taeniorhynchus emergence (93%) for over 3 weeks. efficacy declined to 38% 4 weeks posttreatment. at a rate of 4.5 kg/ha, 95% control was maintained for 34 days with the exception of the 5th week when only 72% control was observed.19902324717
chronic pruritic eruption in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome associated with increased antibody titers to mosquito salivary gland antigens.five of seven patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (aids) who had pruritus and a chronic, nonspecific-appearing skin eruption had increased antibody titers to antigens in the salivary glands of aedes taeniorhynchus, a salt marsh mosquito common to south florida. we hypothesize that the pruritus and skin lesions in patients with aids represent a form of chronic "recall" reaction. increased antibody titers to mosquito salivary gland antigens may be a consequence of nonspecific b cell a ...19892569000
evaluation of equipment modifications and dosage rates of ground ulv applications of naled against aedes taeniorhynchus in a florida citrus grove.efficiency of ground-applied naled (dibrom 14), based on caged mosquito bioassays in a moderately vegetated coastal southeastern florida citrus grove, proved to be significantly associated with downwind distance. however, association analysis between wind speed, temperature or relative humidity revealed no correlation between these meteorological factors and mosquito mortality. tests conducted with 3 of the commonly used ulv machines demonstrated no significant differences in efficiency. equipme ...19883251479
