| predation efficacy of the fish muddy loach, misgurnus mizolepis, against aedes and culex mosquitoes in laboratory and small rice plots. | assessments of the biological control potential of muddy loaches, misgurnus mizolepis, were conducted against aedes togoi, culex pipiens pallens, and culex inatomii larvae both in the laboratory and in small rice plots in pusan, korea, from june to september 1997. medium-sized fish consumed almost all of 500 3rd-stage larvae of cx. pipiens pallens offered daily in the laboratory. predation by the fish at release rates of 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16 fish per plot resulted in 1,004, 1,197, 1,198, 1,200, an ... | 2000 | 11081657 |
| bloodmeal identification and detection of avian malaria parasite from mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae) inhabiting coastal areas of tokyo bay, japan. | bloodmeal identification and the detection of avian malaria parasite from mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae) were carried out by polymerase chain reaction-based methods for field samples collected in coastal areas of tokyo bay, japan, from april to october 2007. the following seven mosquito species were collected: aedes albopictus (skuse), culex pipiens pallens coquillett, culex pipiens form molestus forskal, culex tritaeniorhynchus giles, culex inatomii kamimura & wada, culex bitaeniorhynchus gile ... | 2009 | 19769059 |
| avian plasmodium lineages found in spot surveys of mosquitoes from 2007 to 2010 at sakata wetland, japan: do dominant lineages persist for multiple years? | the ecology and geographical distribution of disease vectors are major determinants of spatial and temporal variations in the transmission dynamics of vector-borne pathogens. however, there are limited studies on the ecology of vectors that contribute to the natural transmission of most vector-borne pathogens. avian plasmodium parasites are multihost mosquito-borne pathogens transmitted by multiple mosquito species, which might regulate the diversity and persistence of these parasites. from 2007 ... | 2012 | 23036191 |
| outbreak of culex inatomii in disaster areas of the great east japan earthquake and tsunami in 2011, with ecological notes on their larval habitats, biting behavior, and reproduction. | outbreaks of culex inatomii occurred widely in disaster areas of the tsunami caused by the great east japan earthquake in march 2011. mosquitoes were collected in southern miyagi prefecture and northern fukushima prefecture in august and september 2011, respectively. in southern miyagi prefecture, the average number of adult cx. inatomii collected by a suction trap baited with 1 kg of dry ice ranged between 69.3 and 132.8 per day in locations within 2.6 km from the coast in tsunami areas, while ... | 2013 | 23687851 |
