| can data from native mosquitoes support determining invasive species habitats? modelling the climatic niche of aedes japonicus japonicus (diptera, culicidae) in germany. | invasive mosquito species and the pathogens they transmit represent a serious health risk to both humans and animals. thus, predictions on their potential geographic distribution are urgently needed. in the case of a recently invaded region, only a small number of occurrence data is typically available for analysis, and absence data are not reliable. to overcome this problem, we have tested whether it is possible to determine the climatic ecological niche of an invasive mosquito species by using ... | 2020 | 31773308 |
| the prediapause stage of aedes japonicus japonicus and the evolution of embryonic diapause in aedini. | the genus aedes is well known for its desiccation-resistant eggs, which frequently serve as an overwintering mechanism through diapause. despite this, relatively little is known about the diapause and overwintering biology of most aedes species including aedes japonicus japonicus, an invasive mosquito in the united states. the importance of this mosquito in disease systems like la crosse virus remain uncertain. embryonic diapause is used by ae. j. japonicus to survive temperate winters, and the ... | 2019 | 31349599 |
| human bloodfeeding by the recently introduced mosquito, aedes japonicus japonicus, and public health implications. | knowledge of the host-feeding behavior and extent of interactions with human hosts are important in evaluating the role and vector potential of invasive mosquitoes in transmission of native arboviruses. we collected blood-engorged females of the recently established exotic species aedes japonicus japonicus from sites in new jersey during 2000 to 2007 and identified the sources of vertebrate blood meals by sequencing portions of the cytochrome b gene of mitochondrial dna. over 1/3 (36%, n = 36) o ... | 2009 | 19653507 |
| differences in responses to urbanization between invasive mosquitoes, aedes japonicus japonicus (diptera: culicidae) and aedes albopictus, in their native range, japan. | the asian mosquitoes, aedes albopictus (skuse) and aedes japonicus japonicus (theobald), have invaded north america, europe, and other regions since the late 20th century. in invasive ranges, ae. albopictus has well been recognized as urban, domestic species, whereas views about the macrohabitats of ae. j. japonicus are inconsistent. previous reports in japan suggest the disappearance of ae. j. japonicus from metropolises. however, container-mosquito larvae have not been inspected simultaneously ... | 2020 | 31586393 |
| the hitchhiker's guide to becoming invasive: exotic mosquitoes spread across a us state by human transport not autonomous flight. | not all exotic species establish and expand aggressively (i.e. become invasive). as potential vectors of disease agents, invasive mosquitoes can have considerable impact on public health, livestock and wildlife; therefore, understanding the species characteristics and ecological circumstances promoting their invasiveness is important. the mosquito aedes japonicus japonicus, originally from north-east asia, was introduced at least two separate times to the north-eastern usa, as surmised from the ... | 2016 | 27087539 |
| potential for populations of aedes j. japonicus to transmit rift valley fever virus in the usa. | aedes japonicus japonicus was introduced into the northeastern usa in 1998 and has since spread to more than 25 states. because this species has been shown to be a competent laboratory vector of several viruses, readily feeds on large mammals, and has become a pest in several areas, there is concern that it might serve as a vector of rift valley fever virus (rvfv) should that virus be introduced into north america. infection with rvfv causes mortality in > 90% of young domestic ungulates (e.g., ... | 2013 | 23923327 |
| laboratory colonization of aedes japonicus japonicus (diptera: culicidae) collected in narita, japan and the biological properties of the established colony. | a laboratory colony of the mosquito aedes japonicus japonicus, which has recently invaded the united states and is recognized as a highly competent vector of west nile virus, was established from larvae collected in narita, japan. the mosquitoes were maintained with induced insemination, blood-feeding on humans, and oviposition in water provided from the original collection site during the first few generations, then the colony was transferred to a large cage (40×40×100 cm in height) and adapted ... | 2010 | 21099089 |
| invasive process and repeated cross-sectional surveys of the mosquito aedes japonicus japonicus establishment in belgium. | when accidentally introduced in a new location, a species does not necessarily readily become invasive, but it usually needs several years to adapt to its new environment. in 2009, a national mosquito survey (modirisk) reported the introduction and possible establishment of an invasive mosquito species, aedes j. japonicus, in belgium. first collected in 2002 in the village of natoye from a second-hand tire company, then sampled in 2003 and 2004, the presence of adults and larvae was confirmed in ... | 2014 | 24694576 |
