| vector competence of california mosquitoes for california encephalitis and california encephalitis-like viruses. | mosquitoes collected from coastal, inland valley, and alpine locations in california were evaluated for their experimental vector competence for two viruses in the california serogroup (bunyaviridae:bunyavirus). aedes squamiger, a coastal salt marsh mosquito, was an efficient vector of a california encephalitis (ce)-like virus isolated from its habitat (89% of the pledget-fed females became infected and 61% transmitted virus). aedes dorsalis, a coastal mosquito, and ae. melanimon, an inland vall ... | 1992 | 1360192 |
| 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 |
| ecology of mosquitoes and lack of arbovirus activity at morro bay, san luis obispo county, california. | during 1994-95, totals of 17,656 adult females and 111,104 adults reared from field-collected immatures comprising 19 species in 4 genera of mosquitoes were collected from morro bay estuary and surrounding environs in san luis obispo county, california. aedes dorsalis was the dominant summer mosquito, whereas aedes squamiger and ae. washinoi were abundant during winter and early spring. host-seeking culex tarsalis were collected infrequently, even though immatures were collected frequently from ... | 1996 | 9046476 |
