[research on viral infections in south pacific mosquitoes under natural conditions].from 1975, epidemiological studies on arboviral diseases, conducted in new caledonia, vanuatu, wallis and horne islands, have shown that 11 species of mosquitoes may harbour viruses in natural conditions. virus isolations were attempted from 1,025 pools of culicidae totalizing 32,182 individuals belonging to 5 genera and 21 species. viral infections have been demonstrated in 76 pools (7.4%). the species harbouring viruses were: aedes aegypti, ae. alternans, ae. notoscriptus, ae. vexans, ae. vigi ...19846151879
evaluation of mesocyclops aspericornis (cyclopoida:cyclopidae) and toxorhynchites speciosus as integrated predators of mosquitoes in tire habitats in queensland.this study addressed biological control of peridomestic aedes notoscriptus, known to be a highly effective colonizer of tire habitats and a possible vector of ross river virus. a laboratory trial of the compatibility of the predators mesocyclops aspericornis and toxorhynchites speciosus in small container habitats showed that 4th-instar tx. speciosus did not significantly affect m. aspericornis mortality. introduced m. aspericornis and naturally occurring tx. speciosus were found to form a compa ...19968887220
effectiveness of s-methoprene briquets and application method for mosquito control in urban road gullies/catch basins/gully pots in a mediterranean climate: implications for ross river virus transmission.floating emergence traps were used in 15 road gullies to determine the effectiveness and longevity of s-methoprene briquets over 124 days. samples were taken monthly from october 2014 to march 2015. two treatment methods were assessed: application of briquet using a float, and application without a float. these methods were compared with untreated control gullies. mosquito emergence peaked in early november, and decreased by february. effectiveness of the briquet was not impacted significantly b ...201627802404
