susceptibility of peruvian mosquitoes to eastern equine encephalitis virus.mosquitoes were collected in the amazon basin, near iquitos, peru, and used in experimental studies to evaluate their susceptibility to strains of eastern equine encephalitis virus (eeev) that were isolated from mosquitoes captured within 20 km of iquitos. when fed on hamsters or chickens with a viremia of 4105 plaque-forming units (pfu) of eeev/ml, culex pedroi sirivanakarn and belkin, aedesfulvus (wiedemann), psorophora albigenu (peryassu), and psorophoraferox (von humboldt) were susceptible t ...200818714873
isolation of viruses from mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae) collected in the amazon basin region of peru.as part of a comprehensive study on the ecology of arthropod-borne viruses in the amazon basin region of peru, we assayed 539,694 mosquitoes captured in loreto department, peru, for arboviruses. mosquitoes were captured either by dry ice-baited miniature light traps or with aspirators while mosquitoes were landing on human collectors, identified to species, and later tested on vero cells for virus. in total, 164 virus isolations were made and included members of the alphavirus (eastern equine en ...200516366001
transmission of a venezuelan equine encephalitis complex alphavirus by culex (melanoconion) gnomatos (diptera: culicidae) in northeastern peru.venezuelan equine encephalitis (vee) complex alphaviruses are serious health threats in the americas and regularly infect humans living in or near amazonian rain forests. as part of a larger surveillance program, we placed six hamster-baited mosquito traps in a disturbed white sand forest of northeastern peru for 3 d. virus isolations from hamster serum and trapped mosquito pools demonstrated that a vee subtype iiic alphavirus was transmitted to a hamster by the mosquito culex (melanoconion) gno ...200515962794
seasonal distribution, biology, and human attraction patterns of culicine mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae) in a forest near puerto almendras, iquitos, peru.this study was conducted as part of a field ecology study of arboviral activity in the amazon basin, peru, to determine the taxonomy, frequency, seasonal, and vertical distributions of potential mosquito vectors. in addition, the relative efficiency of human-landing collections and dry ice-baited centers for disease control (cdc)-type light traps was determined for collecting mosquitoes. a total of 70 species of mosquitoes from 14 genera were collected from june 1996 through december 1997 at a f ...200415185935
mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae) from the northwestern brazilian amazon: padauari river.the mosquito fauna (culicidae) from remote northern areas of the state of amazonas were sampled using centers for disease control and prevention, shannon, malaise, and suspended traps, together with net sweeping and immature collections. one hundred and seven collections were performed in five localities along the padauari river, state of amazonas, brazil, during june 2010. the 20,557 mosquitoes collected are distributed in 17 genera, representing 117 different species, of which four are new dis ...201627480098
