aedes vexans and aedes sierrensis (diptera: culicidae): potential vectors of dirofilaria immitis in tehama county, northern california, usa. 19827120293
comparison of recapture patterns of marked and released aedes vexans and ae. melanimon (diptera: culicidae) in the sacramento valley of california.recapture patterns of aedes vexans (meigen) and aedes melanimon dyar were compared in a mark-release-recapture study conducted on the colusa national wildlife refuge, colusa county, california, from 15 august to 2 september 1988. the 2.0% recapture rate for ae. vexans females was significantly greater than the 0.9% rate for ae. melanimon females. daily survivorship of 0.70 for ae. vexans females was significantly lower than the 0.84 estimate for ae. melanimon. the two species had different patte ...19947932608
arbovirus surveillance in south carolina, 1996-98.arboviruses isolated and identified from mosquitoes in south carolina (usa) are described, including new state records for eastern equine encephalitis virus (eee), st. louis encephalitis virus (sle), flanders virus, tensaw virus (ten), and a variant of jamestown canyon virus (jc). mosquitoes were collected at 52 locations in 30 of 46 south carolina counties beginning in june 1996, and ending in october 1998, and tested for arboviruses. of 1,329 mosquito pools tested by virus isolation (85,806 mo ...200111345423
bloodmeal sources of aedes triseriatus and aedes vexans in a southern wisconsin forest endemic for la crosse encephalitis virus.the micro enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) was used to specifically identify bloodmeal sources of aedes triseriatus say and aedes vexans meigen collected at a site endemic for la crosse (lac) encephalitis virus. deer were the source of 65% of ae. triseriatus and 94% of aedes vexans bloodmeals, respectively. chipmunks and tree squirrels, which are considered to be the major vertebrate amplifying hosts of lac virus, were the sources of 8% and 16%, respectively, of the bloodmeals of ae. tr ...19827072901
Longevity and efficacy of bifenthrin treatment on desert-pattern US military camouflage netting against mosquitoes in a hot-arid environment.The current Department of Defense pest management system does not provide adequate protection from arthropod disease vectors to personnel deployed in support of US military operations. We hypothesized that military camouflage netting, ubiquitous around living and working areas in current US military operations in Africa and the Middle East, treated with a residual pesticide such as bifenthrin may reduce the presence of biting insects and improve the military pest management system. In this study ...201122017092
isolations of jamestown canyon virus (bunyaviridae: orthobunyavirus) from field-collected mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae) in connecticut, usa: a ten-year analysis, 1997-2006.jamestown canyon virus (jcv) (bunyaviridae: orthobunyavirus) is a mosquito-borne zoonosis belonging to the california serogroup. it has a wide geographic distribution, occurring throughout much of temperate north america. white-tailed deer, odocoileus virginianus are the principal amplification hosts, and boreal aedes and ochlerotatus mosquitoes are the primary vectors. a 10-year study was undertaken to identify potential mosquito vectors in connecticut, quantify seasonal prevalence rates of inf ...200818386967
vector competence of california mosquitoes for west nile virus.to identify the mosquito species competent for west nile virus (wnv) transmission, we evaluated 10 california species that are known vectors of other arboviruses or major pests: culex tarsalis, cx. pipiens pipiens, cx. p. quinquefasciatus, cx. stigmatosoma, cx. erythrothorax, ochlerotatus dorsalis, oc. melanimon, oc. sierrensis, aedes vexans, and culiseta inornata. all 10 became infected and were able to transmit wnv at some level. ochlerotatus, culiseta, and aedes were low to moderately efficie ...200212498652
