| dirofilaria repens microfilariae in aedes vexans mosquitoes in slovakia. | in this study, we screened field-caught mosquitoes for presence of dirofilaria spp. by using a polymerase chain reaction (pcr) assay. potential occurrence of dirofilaria repens and dirofilaria immitis microfilariae was examined in 3,600 mosquitoes of eight species (aedes vexans, aedes cinereus, aedes rossicus, culex pipiens, culiseta annulata, ochlerotatus sticticus, ochlerotatus cantans and ochlerotatus caspius) collected from five locations in two districts (kosice and trebisov) of eastern slo ... | 2013 | 23846240 |
| potential mosquito (diptera:culicidae) vector of dirofilaria repens and dirofilaria immitis in urban areas of eastern slovakia. | this paper follows the study from 2013 focused on the molecular screening of mosquitoes as vectors of dirofilaria spp. which provided the information on aedes vexans as a potential vector of dirofilaria repens in slovakia. current entomological and molecular research indicates that ae. vexans can participate also in the transmission of dirofilaria immitis within the region. using the standard pcr method, we examined 10,500 mosquitoes (ae. vexans, ae. rossicus, anopheles maculipennis s.l., ochler ... | 2015 | 26391170 |
| [bloodsucking mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae) in, the tula region are potential vectors of dirofilarias]. | bloodsucking mosquitoes were collected in tula and its region in may to august 2013-2014. the fauna included 17 species from 5 genera in the subfamily culicinae and anopheles maculipennis complex in the subsystem anophelinae. ochlerotatus cantans was a dominant species in the collections. the dominant species also included aedes einereus, ae. vexans, ae. geniculatus, och. diantaeus, och. intrudens, och. cataphylla, and culex pipiens. the possible value of different mosquito species dirofilaria r ... | 2016 | 26827580 |
