| update: west nile virus activity--eastern united states, 2000. | data reported to cdc through the west nile virus (wnv) surveillance system have shown an increase in the geographic range of wnv activity in 2000 compared with 1999, the first year that wnv was reported in the western hemisphere. in response to this occurrence of wnv, 17 states along the atlantic and gulf coasts, new york city, and the district of columbia conducted wnv surveillance, which included monitoring mosquitoes, sentinel chicken flocks, wild birds, and potentially susceptible mammals (e ... | 2000 | 11105767 |

| arbovirus surveillance in rhode island: assessing potential ecologic and climatic correlates. | during 1995-2000, mosquitoes were collected from sites throughout rhode island and tested for the presence of arboviruses. mosquito trapping was done weekly from june to october with co2-baited light traps. in all, 186,537 mosquitoes belonging to 7 different genera were collected, of which coquillettidia perturbans was most abundant. a total of 6,434 pools were processed for arbovirus isolation, from which 193 arboviral isolations were made. these included 109 highlands j, 71 eastern equine ence ... | 2003 | 14524538 |
| pre-west nile virus outbreak: perceptions and practices to prevent mosquito bites and viral encephalitis in the united states. | mosquitoes can transmit over 100 of the viruses that can cause encephalitis, meningitis, and hemorrhagic disease in humans (chin 2000; gubler 1996; monath 1989). while much is known about the ecology, epidemiology, and clinical manifestations of the arboviral encephalitides (campbell et al. 2002; centers for disease control and prevention 1997; gubler 1998; hayes 1989; hubálek and halouzka 1999), little empirical research exists regarding the u.s. population's knowledge of mosquitoes and arbovir ... | 2003 | 14733669 |
| control of west nile virus, rhode island, 2003. | thanks largely to systematic larviciding by the state's 39 municipalities, and aided by the public's destruction of "backyard" mosquito habitats and adoption of personal protective measures (clothing, repellant), rhode island minimized the potential human burden of wnv during the 2003 mosquito season (six serious wnv cases, one death, and no reports of wnv-tainted blood donations). the potential burden of wnv on domestic animals was also reduced through immunization. nonetheless, the state's fir ... | 2004 | 15085689 |
| environmental management of mosquito-borne viruses in rhode island. | west nile virus (wnv) and eastern equine encephalitis virus (eeev) are both primarily bird viruses, which can be transmitted by several mosquito species. differences in larval habitats, flight, and biting patterns of the primary vector species result in substantial differences in epidemiology, with wnv more common, primarily occurring in urban areas, and eeev relatively rare, typically occurring near swamp habitats. the complex transmission ecology of these viruses complicates prediction of dise ... | 2013 | 23819140 |
