| mosquito (diptera: culicidae) and arbovirus activity on the south coast of new south wales, australia, in 1985-1988. | an investigation of the seasonal activity of adult mosquitoes and arboviruses in two native forests revealed a mosquito fauna comprising 33 species for the mogo state forest-batemans bay locality and 34 species for the termeil state forest. the mosquito aedes vigilax was the most abundant species in salt marshes at mogo state forest-batemans bay, whereas the freshwater species anopheles annulipes s.l. and coquillettidia linealis were most abundant at termeil state forest. major faunal difference ... | 1991 | 1685192 |
| vector competence of australian mosquitoes for chikungunya virus. | chikungunya virus (chikv) is a globally emerging arbovirus responsible for unprecedented outbreaks in the western indian ocean, the indian subcontinent and italy. to assess the receptivity of australia to chikv, we exposed 10 australian mosquito species to a 2006 strain of chikv isolated from a viremic traveler from mauritius. in susceptibility trials, the infectious dose required to infect 50% of the mosquitoes was 10(0.6) cell culture infectious dose (ccid)(50)/mosquito for aedes procax, 10(1. ... | 2010 | 19877822 |
| detection of theileria orientalis genotypes in haemaphysalis longicornis ticks from southern australia. | theileria are blood-borne intracellular protozoal parasites belonging to the phylum apicomplexa. previously considered a benign parasite in australia, outbreaks of clinical disease resulting from theileria orientalis genotypes have been reported in australia since 2006. since this time, outbreaks have become widespread in south-eastern australia, resulting in significant adverse impacts on local dairy and beef industries. this paper provides the first investigation into the possible biological a ... | 2015 | 25889204 |
| spatial statistical analysis of adult mosquito (diptera: culicidae) counts: an example using light trap data, in redland shire, southeastern queensland, australia. | many mosquito control agencies use carbon dioxide-baited traps as surveillance tools for adult vector populations. however, decisions regarding the number and location of trap sites and the frequency of collections are often based on logistical issues, and not on the bionomics or spatial distribution of the target species. therefore, with the aim of providing practical information for adult mosquito surveillance programs, we used an array of 81 carbon dioxide- and octenol-baited lights traps to ... | 2004 | 15605654 |
| colonization of coquillettidia linealis (skuse) with reference to other coquillettidia and mansonia species. | the immature stages of coquillettidia and mansonia mosquitoes are cryptic and spend the duration of their development attached to the tissues of subsurface aquatic plants. this obligatory association makes them difficult to collect and has precluded detailed investigation of the biology of coquillettidia linealis, a species of significant pest and vector status in australia, as well as other species in the genus coquillettidia in australia and elsewhere. this paper describes the first successful ... | 2019 | 31124246 |
| effects of attachment substrate, larval diet, and temperature on development and survival of immature coquillettidia linealis (skuse) and coquillettidia xanthogaster (edwards). | a sustainable colony allowed investigations into attachment substrates, diet and temperature in the development of the immature stages of cq. linealis and its local congener cq. xanthogaster. as immatures, these mosquitoes attach to submerged plants for respiration, and various field-collected and laboratory-raised plants were compared with non-living substrates. hydroponically-grown wheat plant seedlings provided the most suitable attachment substrate. development and survival of immatures to e ... | 2019 | 31124241 |
