comparison of the attractiveness of organic infusions to the standard cdc gravid mosquito trap.field experiments were conducted in southeastern texas in 2008 to compare the attractiveness of selected gravid-trap infusions to ovipositing female mosquitoes. comparisons were made among the following infusions: bermuda grass, oak leaves, acacia leaves, rabbit chow (alfalfa pellets) and green algae. experiments were conducted at 6 trap locations in fort sam houston military reservation in san antonio, texas. four (bermuda grass, acacia leaves, oak leaves, and algae) of the 5 infusions were eff ...200920084742
aedes albopictus in the united states: ten-year presence and public health implications.since its discovery in houston, texas, in 1987, the asian "tiger mosquito" aedes albopictus has spread to 678 counties in 25 states. this species, which readily colonizes container habitats in the peridomestic environment, was probably introduced into the continental united states in shipments of scrap tires from northern asia. the early pattern of dispersal followed the interstate highway system, which suggests further dispersal by human activities. the public health service act of 1988 require ...19979284377

insecticide susceptibility of aedes aegypti and aedes albopictus in the lower rio grande valley of texas and mexico.in response to a potential dengue fever outbreak in south texas during 1995, the susceptibilities of aedes aegypti and aedes albopictus to commonly used mosquito adulticides were assessed. larvae collected from the lower rio grande valley of texas and mexico were reared to adults and tested against susceptible laboratory strains at texas a&m university. resistance ratios at both the lc50 and lc95 rates were all less than 10, indicating that adult populations of both species are still susceptible ...19968887230
the perspective of aedes albopictus from the administrative viewpoint.mosquito control administrators should consider a newly introduced species in view of local conditions. aedes albopictus was discovered in harris county while surveying for aedes aegypti. recognizing a potential threat to public health, local and state officials were notified of the discovery. questions posed by the introduction of a foreign species requires a cooperative application of research resources. the centers for disease control (cdc) should serve as the coordinator of this effort.19863507521
variation in the vector competence of geographic strains of aedes albopictus for dengue 1 virus.eight geographic strains of aedes albopictus from asia and north america and one north american strain of aedes aegypti were tested for their vector competence with dengue 1 virus. three groups of ae. albopictus were established based on their vector competence: a) the oahu laboratory strain, b) the three malaysian strains, and c) the tokyo and three north american strains. the three north american strains were similar to the strain of ae. aegypti from houston, texas in their ability to transmit ...19873504922
breeding structure of a colonising species: aedes albopictus (skuse) in the united states.allelic and genotypic frequencies were monitored at seven enzymatic loci in newly established aedes albopictus (skuse) populations in the united states. populations were sampled within the cities of new orleans, louisiana, houston, texas, three counties surrounding houston, memphis, tennessee, jacksonville, florida, and evansville and indianapolis, indiana. unique alleles and relatively high levels of heterozygosity were detected in new orleans, houston, surrounding counties and indianapolis sug ...19883366625
genetics of aedes albopictus.aedes albopictus is an important vector of dengue fever and dengue hemorrhagic fever in southeast asia. its distribution extends from madagascar to hawaii and is currently expanding. from its proposed origin in southeast asia, ae. albopictus has migrated as far as mauritius and madagascar to the west and korea, japan, guam, hawaii and other pacific islands to the east. in the continental united states, it was originally reported in the texas area in august 1985 and is now well established in sev ...19863333792
past, present and future of aedes albopictus in the united states.aedes albopictus was first detected in houston, texas, in 1985. since then it has spread to 17 states and 122 counties. this exotic species from asia appears to have arrived in the u.s. in imported used tire casings. public health concerns have been raised regarding the potential of this species to serve as a vector of arboviruses indigenous to the u.s., such as la crosse encephalitis, and also for imported dengue. the division of vector-borne viral diseases, centers for disease control, has act ...19902182773
