cytoplasmic incompatibility in natural populations of a mosquito, culex pipiens l.when two strains of culex pipiens (s.l.) of different geographical origin are cross-mated, the cross is frequently sterile in one or both directions. such incompatibility is said to be cytoplasmic because the crossability of a strain is determined by its maternal lineage. the incompatibility is caused in some way by infection with a rickettsia-like bacterial symbiote, as removal of the symbiote abolishes the incompatibility. in compatibility has not been observed in crosses of american strains o ...19807350526

essential fatty acids for the mosquito culex pipiens.newly-hatched larvae of culex pipiens grow well to adults in a chemically defined dietary medium containing cholesterol as the only lipid, but the adults cannot fly. arachidonic acid (0.2 mg/100 ml medium) was previously shown to induce emergency from pupae of strong, flying adults, whereas linoleic and linolenic acids, which satisfy the essential fatty acid requirement of other insects, were inadequate. the effect of replacing arachidonic acid by other fatty acids is examined here. saturated or ...19807381586

localization of a mosquito-larval toxin of bacillus sphaericus 1593.cell-free wall, membrane, and cytoplasmic fractions were prepared from bacillus sphaericus 1593, which exhibited toxic activity against larvae of the mosquito culex pipiens var. quinquefasciatus. breakage of 12- to 14-h cells by sonication or french pressure cell yielded toxic material which could be assayed in a standard mosquito larva bioassay. when sporulating cells of strain 1593 were fractionated, the majority of the toxic activity was localized in the cell wall rather than in the plasma me ...19807406488

the use of permethrin (nrdc 143) in pre-seasonal treatment of mosquito breeding sites.under laboratory conditions the ovicidal effect of synthetic pyrethroid permethrin on eggs of the culex pipiens molestus forskal mosquito was not demonstrated. under field conditions the permethrin doses 0.02--0.75 g/m2 sprayed on the bottom of dried up breeding sites in the inundated forest in the autumn prevented or substantially reduced the occurrence of aedes cantans (meigen) larvae in the spring months. organophosphates fenitrothion and pirimiphos-methyl used in doses 0.04 and 0.16 or 0.15 ...19807419128
effect of rearing temperature on transovarial transmission of st. louis encephalitis virus in mosquitoes.female aedes albopictus and aedes epactius infected by inoculation with st. louis encephalitis (sle) virus transmitted virus transovarially to their f1 progeny. with ae. epactius, minimal infection rates (mir) in f1 larvae were similar for progeny reared at 18 (+/- 1) degree c or 27 (+/- 1) degree c, whereas, mir's were significantly higher in f1 adults reared at 18 degrees c, than they were in f1 adults reared at 27 degrees c. use of different strains of sle virus appeared to influence transova ...19807435796

experimental transmission and field isolation studies implicating culex pipiens as a vector of rift valley fever virus in egypt.attempts were made to isolate virus from wild caught mosquitoes during the 1977 and 1978 rift valley fever (rvf) epizootics in egypt. over 95% of the 55,126 mosquitoes collected from epizootic areas in the nile delta and valley were culex pipiens. two strains of rvf virus were isolated from unengorged female c. pipiens taken in 1978. laboratory-reared c. pipiens originating from a population sample from the nile delta epizootic area transmitted rvf virus. the infection rate of mosquitoes that fe ...19807446827
geographic variation among st. louis encephalitis virus strains in the viremic responses of avian hosts.we studied the capacity of 44 strains of st. louis encephalitis (sle) virus to induce viremia in an epidemiologically important wild avian host, the house sparrow (passer domesticus). selected virus strains were also inoculated at varying doses into 3-week-old chicks. viremic responses were analyzed in terms of the proportion of inoculated nestling and adult birds which became viremic, the mean duration and the mean peak titer of viremia. infectivity of avian sera was determined by plaque assay ...19807446828
a survey of the mosquito and culicoides faunas at two localities in the karoo region of south africa with some observations of bionomics.the mosquito and culicoides faunas were surveyed at bethulie and luckhoff in the arid karoo region, south orange free state, to determine which species occurred, their relative prevalence and the effects of rainfall. the feeding preferences of these insects were also investigated by means of baited catches. twenty-three mosquito species and 16 culicoides species were collected. the commonest mosquito species, with their feeding preferences, if known, were as follows: culex (culex) univittatus th ...19807454229
