interaction between the predator toxorhynchites brevipalpis and its prey aedes aegypti.in a circumscribed area in tanzania where the predacious larvae of toxorhynchites brevipalpis were particularly abundant, it was found that water-filled tires and tins containing toxorhynchites larvae had fewer larvae of aedes aegypti than those without the predator larvae. the peaks of infestation with toxorhynchites larvae occurred almost a month later than the peaks of a. aegypti infestation. cannibalism was observed among the predator larvae in these containers.19734152925
ecological studies on the breeding of aedes aegypti and other mosquitos in shells of the giant african snail achatina fulica.the breeding of larvae of aedes aegypti, aedes simpsoni, and eretmapodites quinquevittatus in empty shells of achatina fulica was studied in the coastal zone of dar es salaam, tanzania. the average density of shells was estimated to be 228 per ha. from 11 to 35% were positive for mosquito larvae. a. aegypti were found in 82-84% of positive shells; a. simpsoni in 8-13%. on msasani peninsula, during the 3-month rainy season april-june 1970, the larval density of a. aegypti in shells was estimated ...19734148745
laboratory colonization of toxorhynchites brevipalpis.toxorhynchites brevipalpis, a predator on larvae of aedes aegypti and other mosquitos, was successfully colonized in the laboratory. at 25 degrees c, embryonic development was completed within 50 hours of oviposition, while larval and pupal development together took a further 27-41 days. the adult mosquitos mated in cages as small as 15x15x15 cm, and the embryonated eggs were obtained 6-31 days after the adults emerged.19734149530
adult population estimate of toxorhynchites brevipalpis.an estimate of the numbers of adults of the predacious mosquito toxorhynchites brevipalpis was made in a 1-ha biotope in dar es salaam, tanzania, where the population of its larval prey aedes aegypti was high, by means of the mark-release-recapture method. two months after the end of the rainy season, the number of adults was estimated to be 3 500-about 6 times the number of adult a. aegypti in the biotope.19734150432

linkage of the genes for ddt and dieldrin resistance in larvae of the mosquito aedes aegypti.the ddt resistance gene rddt1, and the dieldrin resistance gene rd1 have been mapped on linkage group ii with respect to visible markers, in the mosquito aedes argypti l. the best interpretation of the data gives the order wa - rdl - ds rddt1 - s - y but was - rdl -ds - y - s - rddt1 is also possible. h is very loosely linked with rddt1. the length of the linkage group has been considerably extended from previous studies.19751203767
internal regulation of rate of digestion of blood meals in the mosquito, aedes aegypti. 19751185004
suppression of pupal esterase activity in aedes aegypti (diptera: culicidae) by an insect growth regulator.changes in non-specific esterases of aedes aegypti were noted during pupal development. one esterase band was found to increase markedly within 3 h of pupation and this increase in activity was suppressed by prior treatment of larvae with an insect growth regulator, zr 515. it is suggested that the esterase activity may help to reduce endogenous levels of juvenile hormone during metamorphosis and that the growth regulator may prevent this normal regulation.19751204757

morphometric differences in midgut epithelial cells between strains of female aedes aegypti (l.) (insecta, diptera).midgut epithelial cells of female aedes aegypti deriving from 2 different mosquito strains were compared morphometrically. one of the 2 strains was recently isolated from nature (east africa). the other strain is an old laboratory strain, reared under laboratory conditions for about 30 years. the quantitative morphological comparison demonstrates, that the ultrastructural composition of the midqut epithelial cells corresponds generally in both strains. it can be shown, however, that in the old s ...19751149093

lipid content of maturing ovaries of aedes aegypti mosquitoes. 19751116351
comparison of lipid composition of aedes aegypti and aedes albopictus cells obtained from logarithmic and stationary phases of growth.the total lipids, total neutral lipids, and total phospholipids from aedes aegypti and aedes albopictus cells cultivated in vitro in a medium containing fetal calf serum were analyzed. the mosquito cells were harvested in the logarithmic and stationary phases of growth. the fatty acid profiles of the lipids showed differences during the aging of the cells but not betweeen species. there was an increase in chain elongation and unsaturation of the fatty acids in the stationary phase when compared ...19751117810
a genetical study of ddt resistance in the mosquito aedes aegypti.crosses have been carried out to determine the relationship between adult ddt resistance and the three linkage groups of the mosquito aedes aegypti. two linkage groups were implicated in the control of ddt resistance. in the bangkok-hr strain resistance derived mainly from linkage group iii, probably with the maor effect from the gene r-ddt2. when resistance was transferred into a susceptible background, by outcrossing bangkok-hr to strain 64 and reselecting, resistance in the resulting bangkok- ...1975235502

haemolytic activity in the blood clot of aedes aegypti.in the present study it was demonstrated that mosquito blood clots contain a haemolytic principle which achieves haemolysis of washed erythrocytes in an isotonic medium. proteinases are thought to play a role in this process. no final proof could be given for the existence of phospholipase activity although some results suggest the presence of this group of enzymes.1975240259
the esterase patterns in the ovaries and the embryonated eggs of aedes aegypti l.the esterases of aedes aegypti were studied in the ovary before and during a gonotrophic cycle and also in fully embryonated eggs by means of disc electrophoresis. during oogenesis no significacant changes can be observed besides a marked increase in the total esterase activity. a different esterase pattern is found in eggs after embryogenesis. the electrophoretic mobility of some esterase bands is highly increased in the ovary compared to other organs. one esterase fraction in the ovary and two ...1975239551
lipase and unspecific esterase activity in the fat body of aedes aegypti l.in the fat body of aedes aegypti a very high unspecific esterase activity and a low lipolytic activity was found. the electrophoretic isozyme patterns of the unspecific esterases show only few changes in the different physiological stages. the activity of the unspecific esterases as well as of the lipase is especially high in young sugar fed and in blood fed mosquitoes which points to special energy requirements in these stages. the role of the unspecific esterases is discussed.19751988
studies with brugia pahangi 10. an attempt to demonstrate the sharing of antigenic determinants between the worm and its hosts.infective stage brugia pahangi that were reared in aedes aegypti survived equally well in cats that had previously been immunized against mosquito tissue and in a normal cat. the survival of third, fourth, juvenile, adult and microfilarial stages of b. pahangi that were recovered from cats was similar in jirds that had been immunized against cat antigens and in normal jirds. host antigenic determinants were not detected on the surface of larvae in substantial amounts using fluorescent antibody t ...197550339
epidemiological features of dengue and chikungunya infections in burma.a serological survey for antibody to dengue and chikungunya was carried out in all 14 divisions and states and 2 border towns in burma during 1973-74. dengue hi antibody prevalence rate of less than 10% was observed in arakan and shan states, 10 to 30% in the irrawaddy, pegu, mandalay divisions and kachin, mon and karen states, 31 to 60% in sagaing division, and over 60% in rangoon, magwe and tenasserim divisions. similarly, chikungunya hi antibody prevalence rate of less than 10% was observed i ...1975126493
insecticide susceptibility of some vector fleas and mosquitoes in burma.rat fleas and mosquitoes are insect vectors of public health importance in burma. plague is endemic in central burma and ddt has been the principal insecticide used for its control to date. dengue haemorrhagic fever, recently introduced and transmitted by aedes aegypti, has been spreading to major towns since 1971. the rodents, rattus rattus, r. exulans, bandicota bengalensis, mus musculus, as well as shrews were commonly caught during routine trapping in the country. rattus norvegicus, prevalen ...1975131975
california encephalitis virus development in mosquitoes as revealed by transmission studies, immunoperoxidase staining, and electron microscopy.isolates of the snowshoe hare subtype of california encephalitis (ce) virus from yukon mosquitoes during 1972 and 1973 were transmitted by bites of aedes aegypti mosquitoes after 4 to 5 weeks of extrinsic incubation at 55 degrees f after intrathoracic injection, and the 1973 strain was transmitted after mosquitoes were fed virus and held for 3 to 4 weeks at 75 degrees f. antigen of a 1971 isolate of ce virus (marsh lake 23) was detected in salivary glands of infected mosquitoes by the immunopero ...1975235355
transmission of hog hog cholera virus by mosquitoes.mosquitoes trapped during an epizootic of hog cholera (hc) in maryland in 1969 were prepared into 40 pools which were inoculated in pigs. hog cholera virus was confirmed in pigs inoculated with 8 of 40 pools of mosquitoes. generally, the pigs contracting hc developed chronic infections with persistent viremia that lasted 30 or more days. two pigs seemed healthy when euthatized 62 and 80 days after inoculation, yet viremia of high titer was detected in each. experimental studies were performed wi ...1975237444
pathogen transmission in relation to feeding and digestion by haematophagous arthropods.the blood feeding habit, especially among opportunist feeders such as tabanids and stomoxys is known to result in transmission of diseases for which the vectors are not the obligate or alternate hosts. thus, mechanical transmission of trypanosomes such as t. vivax can occur in cattle herds outside tsetse fly areas where tabanids are actively feeding. in the case of yaws, mechanical transmission of the spirochaetes by eye flies (hippelates pallipes) in the west indies is thought to be most likely ...1975240257
an agent in the aedes aegypti cell line (peleg) which causes fusion of aedes albopictus cells. 1975806166
isolation of chikungunya virus contaminating an aedes albopictus cell line.an aedes albopictus cell line was found contaminated with structures morphologically compatible with an alphavirus. rapid isolation of a cytopathic virus was effected by combining sonication, concentration with aquacide ii-r, rate zonal sedimentation and subsequent plating of fractions on vero cells under agar overlay. the virus caused neithedeath nor disease on inoculation into infant and adult mice. it produced a c.p.e. in vero and bhk 21 cells, and multiplied in singh's aedes aegypti cells. t ...1975806659
adaptation studies with ross river virus: retention of field level virulence.two field strains of ross river virus (rrv) which differed in virulence for laboratory mice were maintained without detectable change in virulence when passaged alternately in aedes aegypti mosquitoes and newborn mice. no biological mechanism or selection pressure was identified to explain this suppression of the usual change to higher virulence observed when rrv is passed serially in infant mice. the maintenance of initial virulence by alternating passages appears to be related to the fact that ...1975808589
multiplication of venezuelan equine encephalitis (mucambo) virus in cultured mosquito cells.venezuelan equine encephalitis (mucambo) virus was able to multiply at 28degree c in cultured mosquito cells (aedes aegypti and aedes albopictus) without inducing any apparent cytopathology. the kinetics of virus multiplication was similar in mosquito and mammalian (vero) cells. twelve to twenty four hours post-infection, a maximum of 10-50 per cent of the cells were engaged in virus production; however, almost immediately this proportion fell abruptly tending to stabilize in the order of 0.01 t ...1975813617
[the mechanism controlling the crossing of the vector's stomach wall by microfilariae (dipetalonema dessetae-aedes aegypti)].in some of the human filariasis, the number of microfiliariae which succeed in crossing the vector's stomach wall is smaller when the number of ingested microfilariae is larger (limitation). in the couple dipetalonema dessetae-aedes aegypti, this phenomenon appears to be due to a specific lysis of the stomach cells invaded by the microfilariae. this reaction is started when the microfilariae are very numberous. there is "information" transmitted to the whole of the vector's stomach.1975813899
in vivo behavior of a sindbis virus mutant isolated from persistently infected aedes aegypti cell cultures.a mutant of the sindbis virus sv-s was found to interfere with the regular course of infection by the wild strain of the virus sv-w in a. aegypti mosquitoes and in suckling mice. in mosquitoes, this result was manifested by a reduced titer of sv-w in the presence of sv-s and by a failure of the mosquitoes to transmit sv-w. in the brains of suckling mice, in the presence of sv-s, the growth of sc inoculated sv-w was suppressed, and as a result, the usually lethal course of infection by this virus ...19751072594
infection of the mosquito aedes aegypti with infectious west nile virus-antibody complexes.aedes aegypti fed through chick skin membranes on west nile virus-homologous antiserum mixtures shown by an anti-globulin neutralization test to be highly infectious complexes (in terms of plaque formation in tissue culture) failed to become infected. control mosquitoes fed on west nile virus--normal rabbit serum mixtures containing similar or smaller amounts of infectious virus were shown to become infected. mosquitoes ingesting suspensions of west nile virus previously incubated with murray va ...19751080913

neutralization of sindbis virus by antisera to antigens of vector mosquitoes.sindbis virus harvested from infected cultures of vero cells and from aedes aegypti mosquitoes was used in neutralization tests with sera obtained from guinea pigs immunized with ground a. aegypti and from guinea pigs repetitively bitten by mosquitoes. employing these antisera, more mosquito-propagated virus was neutralized than was virus grown in cultures of vero cells. the neutralizing activity resided in the immune globulin fraction and may reflect the production of antibody to vector antigen ...19751155692
the multiplication of nodamura virus in insect and mammalian cell cultures.nodamura virus multiplied in mosquito cell lines, as determined by infectivivity assays in adult honey bees (apis mellifera) and wax moth larvae (galleria mellonella). titres of more than 10-7 and 10-5 bee ld50 /ml were obtained in culture fluids of aedes albopictus and aedes aegypti cells respectively after 10 days. comparable titres were obtained after several months, during which the cultures were subdivided up to six times. nodamura virus also multiplied in bhk cells and yielded titres of 10 ...19751168239
