| occurrence and evolutionary significance of a california encephalitis-like virus in aedes squamiger (diptera: culicidae). | more than 12,000 aedes increpitus dyar and 4,600 aedes squamiger (coquillett) were tested for the presence of arboviruses to test the hypothesis that there is a coevolutionary relationship between aedes (ochlerotatus) mosquitoes and california serogroup viruses. five strains of a california encephalitis-like virus were isolated from adults reared from larvae of ae. squamiger collected in january 1989 from a coastal salt marsh at morro bay, san luis obispo county, california. viruses were isolate ... | 1991 | 1941932 |
| mosquito species richness, composition, and abundance along habitat-climate-elevation gradients in the northern colorado front range. | we exploited elevation gradients (1,500-2,400 m) ranging from plains to montane areas along the poudre river and big thompson river in the northern colorado front range to determine how mosquito species richness, composition, and abundance change along natural habitat-climate-elevation gradients. mosquito collections in 26 sites in 2006 by using co2-baited cdc light traps yielded a total of 7,136 identifiable mosquitoes of 27 species. commonly collected species included aedes vexans (meigen) (n ... | 2008 | 18714885 |
| evaluation of mosquito responses to pyrethroid insecticides topically applied to sheep. | a rise in the incidence of mosquito-transmitted cache valley virus (cvv) in lambs in 2011 prompted a study to evaluate on-animal pyrethroid insecticides to reduce mosquito attacks on sheep. using enclosure traps for 1 night per wk for 6 wk, we compared engorgement rates of mosquitoes given the opportunity to feed on untreated sheep and sheep treated with 1 python insecticide ear tag (containing 10% zeta-cypermethrin and 20% piperonyl butoxide) per animal or 2 synergized permethrin body spray tre ... | 2013 | 23923329 |
| abundance and bloodfeeding patterns of mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae) in an oak woodland on the eastern slope of the northern coast range of california. | the abundance and bloodfeeding patterns of mosquitoes was studied from 2008 to 2010 at an 18 ha. oak woodland in lake county, ca. host-seeking females were collected weekly from sunset to sunrise by paired dry-ice-baited cdc style traps, whereas resting females were aspirated from paired walk-in red boxes. sequences of the coi gene amplified from bloodmeals from engorged resting females were used to identify the bloodmeal hosts. aedes sierrensis (ludlow) and aedes increpitus dyar complex mosquit ... | 2017 | 28874011 |
| the distribution of species of the aedes increpitus complex in the western united states. | maps of the california and oregon distribution of members of the aedes increpitus complex (aedes clivis lanzaro and eldridge, aedes increpitus dyar, and aedes washinoi lanzaro and eldridge) are presented that are based on collections reported by lanzaro and eldridge (1992) and new collections from various sites, many in the central valley of california. analysis of individually reared specimens by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and conventional morphological methods confirmed the diagnostic ... | 1998 | 9673918 |
