| a laboratory and field evaluation of macrocyclops distinctus, megacyclops viridis and mesocyclops pehpeiensis as control agents of the dengue vector aedes albopictus in a peridomestic area in nagasaki, japan. | the use of the cyclopoid copepods macrocyclops distinctus (richard) megacyclops viridis (jurine) and mesocyclops pehpeiensis hu (cyclopoida: cyclopidae) as biological control agents against the dengue vector aedes albopictus (skuse) (diptera: culicidae) was evaluated. in the laboratory their predatory ability was highest against the younger instars of ae. albopictus and none of the three copepods killed the fourth instar. except for m. viridis, predatory ability was affected by the size of the c ... | 2002 | 12243229 |
| simulation of the probable vector density that caused the nagasaki dengue outbreak vectored by aedes albopictus in 1942. | japan experienced dengue outbreaks vectored by aedes albopictus during the second world war. the probable vector density that caused the largest dengue outbreak in nagasaki in 1942 was estimated using a mathematical simulation model. the estimated vector density was 15.0-558.0 per person when various assumptions of uncertain parameters were applied, such as proportion of symptomatic cases, vector mortality, and human biting rate of a. albopictus. when the most favourable disease spread condition ... | 2013 | 23481094 |
| globally invasive, withdrawing at home: aedes albopictus and aedes japonicus facing the rise of aedes flavopictus. | it has been suggested that climate change may have facilitated the global expansion of invasive disease vectors, since several species have expanded their range as temperatures have warmed. here, we present results from observations on two major global invasive mosquito vectors (diptera: culicidae), aedes albopictus (skuse) and aedes japonicus (theobald), across the altitudinal range of mt. konpira, nagasaki, japan, a location within their native range, where aedes flavopictus yamada, formerly a ... | 2016 | 27039106 |
| [summary of research works on viruses in the vietnam research station, institute of tropical medicine, nagasaki university]. | institute of tropical medicine, nagasaki university (nekken) and national institute of hygiene and epidemiology, vietnam (nihe) jointly conducted a project from 2006 on emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases (erid) granted by the ministry of education, science, culture and technology (mext) of japan. fifteen independent researches have been carried out by 7 scientists who stationed in the vietnam research station (vrs), and by approximately 60 visiting scientists. a wide variety of viruses ... | 2013 | 24769580 |
