arbovirus isolations from mosquitoes in south slovakia.in the years 1973 and 1975 mosquitoes and some other diptera (tabanidae, simuliidae, hippoboscidae) were tested for virus. 13,924 mosquitoes, 75 horseflies and 60 blackflies were processed in 1973. five strains of tahyna virus were isolated from mosquito species aedes vexans. 3,378 mosquitoes and 12 sheep keds were tested for virus in 1975. twelve strains of calovo virus were isolated from anopheles maculipennis and one strain of tahyna virus was obtained from aedes vexans mosquitoes.197828998
experimental transmission of tahyna virus (california group) to wild rabbits (oryctolagus cuniculus) by mosquitoes.two wild rabbits (oryctolagus cuniculus) were subcutaneously infected with a dose of 2.6 dex. i.c. ld50/0.02 ml of extraneurally passaged tahyna virus strain "236". during the 24-72 hours interval p.i. viremia was demonstrated in both animals ranging from 1.0 to 3.42 dex. i.e. ld50/0.02. mosquitoes aedes vexans, which had fed on them, transmitted the virus to one of three other rabbits. during 24-96 hours interval after terminated feeding of infectious mosquitoes viremia was detected in this ani ...197936333
[isolation of tahyna virus from mosquitoes in 2 different european natural foci].collecting during two periods, from september 4, 1979, to september 12, 1980, and from august 17 to september 10, 1981, a total of 45,705 mosquitoes was caught for virus isolation studies in 6 different regions in germany and the netherlands (lower rhine area, upper rhine area near germersheim, upper main area near baunach, amper moos), in austria (eastern shore of lake neusiedl), and in italy (isonzo river delta). 25 mosquito species were identified belonging to the genera aedes, culex, culiset ...19852860760

[surveillance of mosquito-borne viruses in breclav after the flood of 1997].in july 1997, devastating floods occurred after heavy rains in moravia, czech republic. mosquito populations increased abruptly in the flooded area thereafter. we carried out a surveillance for mosquito-borne virus infections in the breclav area, south moravia, including serosurveys of inhabitants. a total of 11,334 female mosquitoes in 117 pools (9,100 aedes vexans, 917 a. cinereus, 11 a. cantans, 1,074 a. sticticus and 232 culex pipiens pipiens) were examined by virological methods. seven viru ...199910528440
west nile virus investigations in south moravia, czechland.seven virus isolates were obtained from 11,334 mosquitoes after the 1997 morava river flooding in south moravia (czech republic): 6 strains of tahyna bunyavirus, california antigenic group (5 from aedes vexans, 1 from ae. cinereus), and 1 strain of west nile flavivirus (wnv) from culex pipiens. in 1999, one isolate of tahyna virus from ae. vexans and one isolate of wnv from cx. pipiens were recovered from a total of 14,354 mosquitoes examined in the same area, whereas no virus was detected there ...200011192289

arboviral survey of mosquitoes in two northern italian regions in 2007 and 2008.recently, italy-particularly the emilia-romagna region-was the location of consecutive outbreaks of human diseases caused by the arboviruses chikungunya virus and west nile virus. the two outbreaks, spread by different species of mosquitoes, were not related, but pointed out the lack of an arboviral surveillance program in this region. beginning in 2007 entomological surveillance was initiated in the emilia-romagna region, and in 2008 the program was improved and extended at lombardia region. us ...201020370434
mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae) and their relevance as disease vectors in the city of vienna, austria.mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae) are important vectors for a wide range of pathogenic organisms. as large parts of the human population in developed countries live in cities, the occurrence of vector-borne diseases in urban areas is of particular interest for epidemiologists and public health authorities. in this study, we investigated the mosquito occurrence in the city of vienna, austria, in order to estimate the risk of transmission of mosquito-borne diseases. mosquitoes were captured using di ...201425468380
genetic and phenotypic variation in central and northern european populations of aedes (aedimorphus) vexans (meigen, 1830) (diptera, culicidae).the floodwater mosquito aedes vexans can be a massive nuisance in the flood plain areas of mainland europe, and is the vector of tahyna virus and a potential vector of dirofilaria immitis. this epidemiologically important species forms three subspecies worldwide, of which aedes vexans arabiensis has a wide distribution in europe and africa. we quantified the genetic and phenotypic variation in ae. vexans arabiensis in populations from sweden (northern europe), hungary, and serbia (central europe ...201627232139
worthy of their name: how floods drive outbreaks of two major floodwater mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae).an understanding of how climate variables drive seasonal dynamics of mosquito populations is critical to mitigating negative impacts of potential outbreaks, including both nuisance effects and risk of mosquito-borne infectious disease. here, we identify climate variables most affecting seasonal dynamics of two major floodwater mosquitoes, aedes vexans (meigen, 1830) and aedes sticticus (meigen, 1838) (diptera: culicidae), along the lower courses of the dyje river, at the border between the czech ...201424605456
