| classification of immature mosquito species according to characteristics of the larval habitat in the subtropical province of chaco, argentina. | to classify mosquito species based on common features of their habitats, samples were obtained fortnightly between june 2001-october 2003 in the subtropical province of chaco, argentina. data on the type of larval habitat, nature of the habitat (artificial or natural), size, depth, location related to sunlight, distance to the neighbouring houses, type of substrate, organic material, vegetation and algae type and their presence were collected. data on the permanence, temperature, ph, turbidity, ... | 2011 | 21739026 |
| the morphology of the cibarial armature and sensilla of mansonia titillans, psorophora cingulata, coquillettidia arribalzagae, culex coronator and limatus durhamii (diptera: culicidae). | a detailed description of the cibarial armature of the neotropical mosquitoes mansonia titillans, psorophora cingulata, coquillettidia arribalzagae, culex coronator and limatus durhamii, is presented. a sample of 15 specimens of each species was taken from the collections of two mosquito ecological projects located at santa clara, san carlos, alajuela and from la selva, sarapiqui, heredia, costa rica. each specimen, preserved in alcohol, was cleared, put into a mounting medium, head separated fr ... | 2006 | 18491621 |
| vector competence of peruvian mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae) for a subtype iiic virus in the venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis complex isolated from mosquitoes captured in peru. | we evaluated mosquitoes collected in the amazon basin, near iquitos, peru, for their susceptibility to a subtype iiic strain of the venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis complex. this virus had been previously isolated from a pool of mixed culex vomerifer and cx. gnomatos captured near iquitos, peru, in 1997. after feeding on hamsters with viremias of about 10(8) plaque-forming units of virus per ml, cx. gnomatos was the most efficient vector. other species, such as ochlerotatus fulvus and psoroph ... | 2006 | 16646325 |
| vector competence of peruvian mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae) for epizootic and enzootic strains of venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis virus. | mosquitoes collected in the amazon basin, near iquitos, peru, were evaluated for their susceptibility to epizootic (iab and ic) and enzootic (id and ie) strains of venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis (vee) virus. after feeding on hamsters with a viremia of approximately 10(8) plaque-forming units of virus per milliliter, culex (melanoconion) gnomatus sallum, huchings, & ferreira, culex (melanoconion) vomerifer komp, and aedes fulvus (wiedemann) were highly susceptible to infection with all four ... | 2000 | 11126537 |
