| biodiversity of mosquitoes in manipur state and their medical significance. | entomological studies conducted during monsoon and post-monsoon season in manipur state revealed the presence of fifty-five species of mosquitoes under ten genera. out of the seventeen anopheles species recorded, anopheles aconitus, an. dirus and an. nivipes were recorded for the first time from the state. the present study has confirmed the existence of an. dirus, the major malaria vector in the northeast from a selected area of the state. among culicines, four species viz., aedes nigrostriatus ... | 2005 | 16334293 |
| investigation on malaria vectors and mosquito fauna in south tripura district, tripura state. | in an entomological study in south tripura district of tripura state during june 1998, a total of 31 species of mosquitoes belonging to eight genera were recorded. among the known malaria vectors in india, anopheles annularis, an. jeyporiensis, an. minimus, an. philippinensis/nivipes and an. varuna were collected but none of them could be incriminated. during the survey, aedes pallidostriatus and malaya genurostris were recorded for the first time in the north-eastern region and tripura state re ... | 1998 | 10497841 |
| phylogenetic analysis and temporal diversification of mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae) based on nuclear genes and morphology. | phylogenetic analyses provide a framework for examining the evolution of morphological and molecular diversity, interpreting patterns in biogeography, and achieving a stable classification. the generic and suprageneric relationships within mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae) are poorly resolved, making these subjects difficult to address. | 2009 | 20028549 |
| survey of new mosquito species of meghalaya, india. | a study on mosquitoes in parts of meghalaya revealed the presence of 64 species of mosquitoes under 10 genera. in monsoon (june to october) and post-monsoon (november to may) survey, 42 and 48 species of mosquitoes were detected, respectivily. higher species diversity was found at lower elevations (up to 1050 m). anopheles peditaeniatus, an. sinensis, aedes vexans, ae. nigrostriatus, ae. annandalei, culex. fuscocephala, cx. pseudovishnui, cx. murrelli, cx. brevipalpis, coquillettidia novochracea ... | 2013 | 24620578 |
| spiders do not escape reproductive manipulations by wolbachia. | maternally inherited bacteria that reside obligatorily or facultatively in arthropods can increase their prevalence in the population by altering their hosts' reproduction. such reproductive manipulations have been reported from the major arthropod groups such as insects (in particular hymenopterans, butterflies, dipterans and beetles), crustaceans (isopods) and mites. despite the observation that endosymbiont bacteria are frequently encountered in spiders and that the sex ratio of particular sp ... | 2011 | 21235755 |
| distribution of mosquito larvae in various breeding sites in national zoo malaysia. | mosquitoes are principal vectors of major vector-borne diseases. they are widely found throughout urban and rural areas in malaysia. they are responsible for various vector-borne diseases such as dengue, malaria, filariasis and encephalitis. a total of 158 mosquito larvae specimens were collected from the national zoo, malaysia, from 11 types of breeding habitats during the study period from end of may 2007 to july 2007. aedes albopictus was the predominant species (35.4%), followed by tripteroi ... | 2015 | 25801269 |
| prevalence of disease vectors in lakshadweep islands during post-monsoon season. | : increase of vector-borne diseases (vbds) in india has posed a question on the situation in lakshadweep islands, where vbds are reported from time-to-time. the present investigation was aimed to assess the faunastic situation of the prevailing vectors along with their breeding sites in different islands of the lakshadweep. | 2019 | 30618444 |
| absence of wolbachia endobacteria in the non-filariid nematodes angiostrongylus cantonensis and a. costaricensis. | abstract: the majority of filarial nematodes harbour wolbachia endobacteria, including the major pathogenic species in humans, onchocerca volvulus, brugia malayi and wuchereria bancrofti. these obligate endosymbionts have never been demonstrated unequivocally in any non-filariid nematode. however, a recent report described the detection by pcr of wolbachia in the metastrongylid nematode, angiostrongylus cantonensis (rat lungworm), a leading cause of eosinophilic meningitis in humans. to address ... | 2008 | 18801163 |
