| current status of invasive mosquito surveillance in the uk. | non-native invasive mosquitoes have for many years made incursions into europe, and are now established in many european countries. the continued european importation of potential vectors and their expansion within europe increases their potential for importation and establishment in the uk. coupled with increasing numbers of returning dengue and chikungunya infected travellers, the potential exists for transmission of vector borne disease in new regions. | 2015 | 26122427 |
| arboviruses in north dakota, 2003-2006. | to investigate arbovirus transmission in north dakota, we collected and screened mosquitoes for viral infection by vero cell culture assay. seven viruses were isolated from 13 mosquito species. spatial and temporal distributions of the important vectors of west nile virus (wnv), cache valley virus, jamestown canyon virus (jcv), and trivittatus virus are reported. snowshoe hare virus, potosi virus, and western equine encephalomyelitis virus were also isolated. the risks of culex tarsalis and aede ... | 2014 | 25487728 |
| pilot longitudinal mosquito surveillance study in the danube delta biosphere reserve and the first reports of anopheles algeriensis theobald, 1903 and aedes hungaricus mihályi, 1955 for romania. | mosquito-borne viruses (moboviruses) are of growing importance in many countries of europe. in romania and especially in the danube delta biosphere reserve (ddbr), mosquito and mobovirus surveillance are not performed on a regular basis. however, this type of study is crucially needed to evaluate the risk of pathogen transmission, to understand the ecology of emerging moboviruses, or to plan vector control programmes. | 2016 | 27066827 |
| direct pcr of indigenous and invasive mosquito species: a time- and cost-effective technique of mosquito barcoding. | millions of people die each year as a result of pathogens transmitted by mosquitoes. however, the morphological identification of mosquito species can be difficult even for experts. the identification of morphologically indistinguishable species, such as members of the anopheles maculipennis complex (diptera: culicidae), and possible hybrids, such as culex pipiens pipiens/culex pipiens molestus (diptera: culicidae), presents a major problem. in addition, the detection and discrimination of newly ... | 2015 | 26663040 |
| impacts of the creation, expansion and management of english wetlands on mosquito presence and abundance - developing strategies for future disease mitigation. | the incidence of mosquito-borne diseases is increasing in europe, partly due to the incursion of a number of invasive species known to be vectors of dengue and chikungunya viruses, but also due to the involvement of native species in the transmission of west nile virus and malaria. for some of these pathogens, there is a risk of the re-emergence of vector-borne diseases that were once widespread in europe, but declined partly due to large-scale land-drainage projects. some mosquito species explo ... | 2015 | 25889666 |
| monitoring of west nile virus in mosquitoes between 2011-2012 in hungary. | west nile virus (wnv) is a widely distributed mosquito-borne flavivirus. wnv strains are classified into several genetic lineages on the basis of phylogenetic differences. whereas lineage 1 viruses are distributed worldwide, lineage 2 wnv was first detected outside of africa in hungary in 2004. since then, wnv-associated disease and mortality in animal and human hosts have been documented periodically in hungary. after the first detection of wnv from a pool of culex pipiens mosquitoes in 2010, s ... | 0 | 25229703 |
| circulation of dirofilaria repens and dirofilaria immitis in moldova. | over the last two decades, a significant spread of dirofilariasis has been observed in eastern and central europe. however, data on the circulation of dirofilaria spp. in moldova were absent although direct neighbor states reported high incidence rates of human dirofilariasis. | 2016 | 27912786 |
| mosquito and west nile virus surveillance in northeast montana, u.s.a., 2005 and 2006. | mosquito and west nile virus (wnv) surveillance was conducted on a national wildlife refuge in northeast montana in 2005 and 2006, during which outbreaks of wnv in a colony of american white pelicans (pelecanus erythrorhynchos gmelin) (pelecaniformes: pelecanidae) resulted in juvenile mortality rates of ∼ 31%. both years, floodwater species ochlerotatus dorsalis (meigen) (diptera: culicidae), aedes vexans (meigen) (diptera: culicidae) and ochlerotatus flavescens (muller) (diptera: culicidae) com ... | 2014 | 23647177 |
| quantitative inventory of mosquito larvae (diptera: culicidae) and physicochemical analysis of aquatic habitats in the region of fez, morocco. | mosquitoes occupy a major health problem, as a potential vector for the transmission of many pathogens, the most important of which in morocco are plasmodium parasites and west nile fever virus. acquiring knowledge about the biotypology of these mosquitoes is an essential step in any control strategy. thus, the objective of this study is to draw up an inventory of the culicidian fauna in the fez region (north-central part of morocco) and to determine the physicochemical parameters influencing th ... | 2019 | 31478623 |
| lack of evidence for the presence of schmallenberg virus in mosquitoes in germany, 2011. | in 2011, a novel orthobunyavirus of the simbu serogroup was discovered near the german-dutch border and named schmallenberg virus (sbv). so far, sbv genome has been detected in various field-collected culicoides species; however, other members of the simbu serogroup are also transmitted by mosquitoes. | 2014 | 25174354 |
| north american wetlands and mosquito control. | wetlands are valuable habitats that provide important social, economic, and ecological services such as flood control, water quality improvement, carbon sequestration, pollutant removal, and primary/secondary production export to terrestrial and aquatic food chains. there is disagreement about the need for mosquito control in wetlands and about the techniques utilized for mosquito abatement and their impacts upon wetlands ecosystems. mosquito control in wetlands is a complex issue influenced by ... | 2012 | 23222252 |
| isolation of western equine encephalomyelitis (wee) virus from mosquitoes in saskatchewan, 1962. | saskatchewan, in the summer of 1962, was the scene of an extensive outbreak of western equine encephalomyelitis (wee) in horses. the results of mosquito survey work showed culiseta inornata and culex tarsalis respectively to be the two most abundant mosquito species during midsummer. these species are those reported to be most commonly associated with outbreaks of wee. five hundred and sixty-four pools of mosquitoes were examined for the presence of wee virus. six pools, three of c. tarsalis and ... | 1963 | 17649476 |
| the mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae) in the area of the middle course of the river someşul mare (romania): faunistical and ecological data. | the larval and adult mosquito populations in the locality salva and its surroundings on the middle course of the river someşul mare were investigated from march to october 1994. 17 mosquito species (11 as larvae and 13 as adults) were recorded: aedes cataphylla, aedes cantans aedes leucomelas, aedes dorsalis, aedes caspius, aedes vexans, aedes flavescens, aedes cinereus, aedes annulipes, aedes geniculatus, culex modestus, culex pipiens, culex territans, culiseta alaskaensis, anopheles maculipenn ... | 1998 | 9745338 |

| using c60 fullerenes for photodynamic inactivation of mosquito iridescent viruses. | this article describes the photodynamic inactivation of mosquito iridescent virus (miv) aedes flavescens in the presence of water-soluble c(60) fullerenes. it has been observed that the photodynamic inactivation of miv for about 1 h reduces the infectious titre of the virus in large wax-moth larvae galleria mellonella to 4.5 lg id(50)/ml. the influence of the c(60) concentration on its anti-viral activity was tested in the concentration range from 1 to 0.001 mg/ml. it has been found that c(60) i ... | 2012 | 21883040 |

| [joint parasitism of microsporidia (nosematidae) and mermithidae (nematoda) in the larvae of blood-sucking mosquitoes (diptera, culicidae)]. | a double infection of the larvae of aedes flavescens and a. cantans with thelohania opacita and larvae of mermithidae was established. the double infection is not accompanied by the rise of pathogenic effect of the parasites on the hosts. mermithids parasitizing mosquitoes infected with microsporidians inhibit the development of protozoa. the inhibition degree depends on the duration of contacts of coparasites as well as on the developmental phase of microsporidians at the moment of penetration ... | 2007 | 100757 |
