| mosquito surveillance employing new jersey light traps on indian reservations in iowa, nebraska and south dakota in 1984 and 1985. | a mosquito surveillance program was established in 1983 on indian reservations in iowa, nebraska and south dakota. standard new jersey light traps were operated on 12 reservations throughout the summer seasons in 1984 and 1985. rainfall levels in general were higher than normal at all sites in 1984 but were lower than normal at most sites in 1985. aedes vexans was the most abundant species collected on all reservations and culex tarsalis second in abundance. man-biting collections of mosquitoes ... | 1987 | 2904939 |
| species composition and feeding success of mosquitoes attracted to caged dogs in indiana. | a field study using caged dogs in mosquito bait traps was conducted in eastcentral indiana to determine the species composition of mosquitoes coming to feed. fourteen species of mosquitoes from 5 genera were collected; aedes trivittatus predominated. feeding success rates were measured as the percentage of mosquitoes collected that had a fresh blood meal. the species having the highest rates were: culex erraticus, aedes stimulans and ae. trivittatus. aedes vexans and cx. pipiens/restuans had mar ... | 1985 | 2906663 |
| occurrence and seasonal incidence of mosquitoes on indian reservations in iowa, nebraska and south dakota during 1983. | a mosquito surveillance program designed to prevent future human cases of western equine encephalitis or saint louis encephalitis was established in 1983 on indian reservations under the jurisdiction of the aberdeen area indian health service in iowa, nebraska and south dakota. standard new jersey light traps were operated on all reservations throughout the summer season while cdc miniature and encephalitis virus surveillance traps were employed for shorter periods of time on 4 reservations. aed ... | 1986 | 2906969 |
| response of iowa mosquito populations to unusual precipitation patterns as measured by new jersey light trap collections. | new jersey light trap data from 1993, a year with unusually high amounts of precipitation, and 1994 were compared with mean light trap counts for the previous 8-10 years in each of 6 locations. the study took place in iowa. in 1993, aedes trivittatus and culex tarsalis populations were unchanged. anopheles punctipennis and culex pipiens complex populations were significantly higher, and aedes vexans populations increased in all 6 sites, significantly so in 2 sites. species composition was unchan ... | 1995 | 7595446 |
| using a dynamic hydrology model to predict mosquito abundances in flood and swamp water. | we modeled surface wetness at high resolution, using a dynamic hydrology model, to predict flood and swamp water mosquito abundances. historical meteorologic data, as well as topographic, soil, and vegetation data, were used to model surface wetness and identify potential fresh and swamp water breeding habitats in two northern new jersey watersheds. surface wetness was positively associated with the subsequent abundance of the dominant floodwater mosquito species, aedes vexans, and the swamp wat ... | 2002 | 11749741 |
| temporal and spatial patterns of west nile virus transmission in saginaw county, michigan, 2003-2006. | the dynamics of west nile virus (family flaviviridae, genus flavivirus, wnv) infection in mosquitoes, sentinel pheasants, and wild dead birds were evaluated during 2003-2006 in saginaw co., mi. mosquitoes were collected by new jersey light traps at 22 sites during may-september, pooled by species and sample location, and tested for presence of wnv rna by using a real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction assay. oral swabs from wild dead birds submitted by the public were tested by ... | 2011 | 21936324 |
