| japanese encephalitis virus in northern taiwan, 1969-1973. | sentinel pigs were bled and mosiquitoes were collected for isolation of japanese encephalitis virus (jev) between 1969 and 1973 in a rural area of northern taiwan which reported a high annual incidence of human cases. the study site included a farmyard, schools, a bat cave, rice paddies and a heronry. although culex annulus was collected in every month of the year, isolations were made only in midsummer and only from culex annulus and (once) from culex tritaeniorhynchus. these isolates were usua ... | 1976 | 180845 |
| host preference of mosquito vectors of japanese encephalitis. | the host preference of 4 culex mosquito species collected in miaoli and pingtung counties, taiwan was studied by capillary precipitin method. antisera to alum-precipitated sera of man, bovine, swine, rabbit, horse, dog, cat, mouse, chicken, duck, and pigeon were produced in rabbits and reacted with 758 mosquito blood meals among which reactions to one or more antisera. culex annulus and culex tritaeniorhynchus summorosus showed a great avidity for pig, and culex fuscocephala for bovine. culex pi ... | 1975 | 181218 |
| ecological studies on the mosquito vectors of japanese encephalitis. | these studies were conducted in china (province of taiwan) to assess the populations of known and potential mosquito vectors of japanese encephalitis in a typical endemic area, and to evaluate a variety of sampling techniques, some of which were new. culex annulus was found to be the predominant vector species in the study area during the epidemic season; c. tritaeniorhynchus was never abundant, and c. fuscocephalus was rare. c. annulus and c. tritaeniorhynchus were active throughout the year, a ... | 1973 | 4367779 |
| rates of infection with japanese encephalitis virus of two culicine species of mosquito in taiwan. | the role of culex annulus as a japanese-encephalitis (je) vector has been drawing increasing attention recently. in this small trial, the rate of je virus infection in c. annulus was compared with that in c. tritaeniorhynchus summorosus in the north-western coastal area of taiwan, where both species are common as je vectors. in order to increase the recovery rate of the virus, the mosquitos were artificially incubated at 26-28 degrees c for 10 days after collection. two out of 6 c. t. summorosus ... | 1971 | 5316743 |

| spiroplasma diminutum sp. nov., from culex annulus mosquitoes collected in taiwan. | initially, strain cuas-1t (t = type strain), which was isolated from a frozen triturate of culex annulus mosquitoes collected in taiwan, was thought to be a member of spiroplasma group vii. this placement was based on the spiroplasma deformation test titer observed when strain cuas-1t spiroplasmas were tested with spiroplasma monobiae mq-1t antiserum. the results of subsequent reciprocal spiroplasma deformation, metabolism inhibition, and growth inhibition tests clearly revealed that strain cuas ... | 1996 | 8573499 |
| isolation of japanese encephalitis virus from mosquitoes collected in northern taiwan between 1995 and 1996. | mosquito collections were carried out from may to october in 1995 and 1996 at yingko and sanhsia of taipei county and chunan of miaoli county. a grand total of 13,576 mosquitoes consisting of 13 species in 407 pools were processed and inoculated into aedes albopictus clone c6/36 cell cultures. one hundred thirty seven pools of these showed the presence of viral antigens in the infected c6/36 cell lysates which were identified by the indirect fluorescent antibody test using a monoclonal antibody ... | 1999 | 11561572 |
