| field studies on the potential of butanone, carbon dioxide, honey extract, 1-octen-3-ol, l-lactic acid and phenols as attractants for mosquitoes. | various combinations of six candidate attractants--butanone, carbon dioxide (co2), honey, octenol, lactic acid and mixed phenols--were tested against natural populations of mosquitoes in everglades national park, florida, u.s.a., using unlighted cdc-baited traps. with few exceptions, the attractancy of these candidate compounds to mosquitoes, when used alone, was less than that of co2 alone. the exceptions were that octenol and honey extract alone attracted larger numbers of coquillettidia pertu ... | 1990 | 1983456 |
| field evaluation of heat as an added attractant to traps baited with carbon dioxide and octenol for aedes taeniorhynchus. | collection size of 3 species of mosquitoes (aedes taeniorhynchus, anopheles atropos, and culex nigripalpus) and a species of biting midge (culicoides furens) in cdc-type traps baited with carbon dioxide and octenol were significantly increased with the addition of heat. the presence of heat also significantly reduced collection size of the tabanid diachlorus ferrugatus. | 1995 | 8825507 |
| composition and adult activity of salt-marsh mosquitoes attracted to 1-octen-3-ol, carbon dioxide, and light in topsail island, north carolina. | by monitoring weekly for 3 months with centers for disease control (cdc) light traps baited with carbon dioxide (co2) and light, 12 species of mosquitoes were collected from salt-marsh areas in topsail island, north carolina: aedes vexans, anopheles atropos, an. bradleyi, an. crucians, an. punctipennis, culex pipiens, cx. restrans, cx. salinarius, ochlerotatus sollicitans, oc. taeniorhynchus, oc. infirmatus, and uranotaenia sapphirina. the hourly activities of common salt-marsh mosquitoes, namel ... | 2003 | 12825671 |
| mosquitoes infected with west nile virus in the florida keys, monroe county, florida, usa. | more than 30,000 mosquitoes in 22 species or species groups were collected from the florida keys, monroe county, fl, usa, in dry ice-baited light and gravid traps. dry ice-baited traps collected more mosquitoes than did gravid traps. west nile virus was detected in pools of anopheles atropos dyar & knab, deinocerites cancer theobald, and ochlerotatus taeniorhynchus (wiedemann). | 2003 | 12943117 |
| west nile virus-infected mosquitoes, louisiana, 2002. | human cases of west nile virus (wnv) disease appeared in st. tammany and tangipahoa parishes in southeastern louisiana in june 2002. cases peaked during july, then rapidly declined. we conducted mosquito collections from august 3 to august 15 at residences of patients with confirmed and suspected wnv disease to estimate species composition, relative abundance, and wnv infection rates. a total of 31,215 mosquitoes representing 25 species were collected by using primarily gravid traps and co2-bait ... | 2005 | 16229769 |
| north american wetlands and mosquito control. | wetlands are valuable habitats that provide important social, economic, and ecological services such as flood control, water quality improvement, carbon sequestration, pollutant removal, and primary/secondary production export to terrestrial and aquatic food chains. there is disagreement about the need for mosquito control in wetlands and about the techniques utilized for mosquito abatement and their impacts upon wetlands ecosystems. mosquito control in wetlands is a complex issue influenced by ... | 2012 | 23222252 |
| north carolina mosquito records. i. uncommon aedes and anopheles (diptera: culicidae). | new distribution records are provided for 10 mosquito species that are rare or uncommon in north carolina: aedes aegypti, ae. cinereus, ae. dupreei, ae. fulvus pallens, ae. hendersoni, ae. mitchellae, ae. thibaulti, ae. tormentor, ae. trivittatus, and anopheles atropos. biological notes are provided for habitats, behavior, and, in some cases, color patterns. comments are also made about 6 additional species that are rare or uncommon in north carolina. | 1998 | 9673917 |
| mosquito fauna of wilderness islands within the national key deer refuge and the great white heron national wildlife refuge, monroe county, florida. | dry ice-baited light traps, counts of mosquitoes biting and landing on technicians, and larval surveillance were used to determine mosquito species abundance on annette key, little knockem-down key, little pine key, raccoon key, and the water keys, all of which are located offshore, within the national key deer refuge and great white heron national wildlife refuge in monroe county, fl. due to the close proximity of these wilderness islands to the inhabited islands of the florida keys, it is impo ... | 2010 | 20649123 |
| relative abundance of mosquito species (diptera: culicidae) on big pine key, florida, u.s.a. | species diversity of mosquito (diptera: culicidae) collections in carbon dioxide-baited light traps was investigated on big pine key, florida, from 2000 - 2004. twenty species of mosquitoes were collected during this study, the most commonly collected being anopheles atropos, culex bahamensis, deinocerites cancer, and ochlerotatus taeniorhynchus. ochlerotatus taeniorhynchus is the dominant species at this location. for most of the mosquito species, more individuals were collected during the "hig ... | 2005 | 16599171 |
| separation of trap-collected adults of anopheles atropos from species of the quadrimaculatus complex. | the presence of a moderate- to large-sized patch of dark scales on the anterior surface of the fore coxa of anopheles atropos can be used to separate this species from species of the quadrimaculatus complex collected in coastal areas of the united states. identification of specimens is possible even if they have been collected in traps and are rubbed and faded. | 2000 | 10757493 |
