vector competence of mosquitoes as a marker to distinguish central american and mexican epizootic from enzootic strains of venezuelan encephalitis virus.two epizootic strains of venezuelan encephalitis (ve) virus from central america and mexico were transmitted by a colonized epizootic vector mosquito, aedes taeniorhynchus, at higher rates than were two enzootic strains when the mosquitoes were infected by intrathroacic inoculation or feeding of virus. differences in transmission rates also occurred with colonized aedes aegypti, but were less marked. following intrathoracic inoculation of a. taeniorhynchus or a. aegypti, epizootic strains grew t ...19761259093
transmission of venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis virus by aedes sollicitans and aedes taeniorhynchus (diptera: culicidae).experimental studies compared the vector competence of aedes sollicitans (skuse) and ae. taeniorhynchus (wiedemann) collected on assateague island, va., for an epizootic strain (trinidad donkey) of venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis (vee) virus. infection rates were significantly higher in ae. sollicitans (101/107, 94%) than in ae. taeniorhynchus (103/175, 59%), even though both species fed concurrently on the same infected hamsters. similarly, dissemination and transmission rates were signific ...19921552530
eggshells as an index of aedine mosquito production. 1: distribution, movement and sampling of aedes taeniorhynchus eggshells.the distribution of aedes taeniorhynchus eggshells in florida mangrove basin forests was determined and used to design a sampling plan. eggshells were found in 10/11 sites (91%), with a mean +/- se density of 1.45 +/- 0.75/cc; density did not change significantly year to year. highest densities were located on the sloping banks of hummocks, ponds and potholes. eggshells were less clumped in distribution than eggs and larvae and thus required a smaller sample size for a given precision level. whi ...19921583486
eggshells as an index of aedine mosquito production. 2: relationship of aedes taeniorhynchus eggshell density to larval production.to test if eggshell density could be used as an index of aedine mosquito production, we compared eggshell density with the larval production of aedes taeniorhynchus in florida mangrove basin forests. quantitative (n = 7) and categorical (n = 34) estimates of annual larval production were regressed against the number of eggshells per cc of soil. significant regressions were obtained in both instances. larval production was concentrated in zones with the highest eggshell density. we suggest that e ...19921583487
comparison of the synthetic pyrethroids esbiothrin and bioresmethrin with scourge and cythion against adult mosquitoes in a laboratory wind tunnel.both candidate adulticides, esbiothrin and bioresmethrin, exhibited quick knockdown 1-h posttreatment. esbiothrin elicited the fastest knockdown, but bioresmethrin was more effective at both 1- and 24-h posttreatment than either esbiothrin or scourge against both aedes taeniorhynchus and culex quinquefasciatus. mosquitoes treated with scourge required more time and a higher dosage to respond in a physiological manner similar to those treated with either of the candidate adulticides. more than tw ...19921583490
the killifish rivulus marmoratus: a potential biocontrol agent for aedes taeniorhynchus and brackish water culex.in the laboratory, newly hatched fry of rivulus marmoratus were effective predators on 1st-instar aedes taeniorhynchus. adult fish consumed 4th-instar ae. taeniorhynchus and egg rafts of culex quinquefasciatus at a rate increasing with standard length of the fish. predation of rivulus marmoratus on ae. taeniorhynchus larvae in the field was documented by observing the passage of larval/pupal remains through the gut. laboratory reared fish released at known ae. taeniorhynchus breeding sites survi ...19921583495
control of aedes taeniorhynchus and culex quinquefasciatus emergence with sustained release altosid sand granules and pellets in saltwater and freshwater test plots.the efficacy of sustained release altosid sand granules to control adult aedes taeniorhynchus and culex quinquefasciatus emergence was investigated. sand granules applied at a 7-day preflood application rate of 5.6 kg/ha controlled 99% of the ae. taeniorhynchus emergence in saltwater plots for 44 days posttreatment and 35% of cx. quinquefasciatus in freshwater plots. a 5.6 kg/ha rate controlled 100% of the ae. taeniorhynchus emergence for 30 days posttreatment in semi-permanent saltwater plots. ...19911791449
[the pilot project results of applications of the biolarvicide bacillus sphaericus 2362 on mosquito breeding grounds of the town of santa cruz del norte (la habana province)].the effectiveness of the bacillus sphaericus strain 2362 in liquid formulation, at a 10 ml/m2 dose, was tested in 157 breeding sites of culex quinquefasciatus mosquitos, 2 breeding sites of culex quinquefasciatus and anopheles albimanus and 1 breeding site of aedes taeniorhynchus, consisting of 1 river, 2 oxidation ponds, 1 pond, 4 dams, 2 microdams and 150 pits. the results reached with the application of 1800 1 of biolarvicide show its effectiveness. within 24 hours of treatment, mortality rat ...19911801088
interactive effects of 1-octen-3-ol and carbon dioxide on mosquito (diptera: culicidae) surveillance and control.responses of natural populations of biting diptera were studied at everglades national park, fla., to three levels (0, 3.0, and 41.1 mg/h) of 1-octen-3-ol (octenol), four levels (0, 20, 200, and 2,000 ml/min) of carbon dioxide (co2), and their combinations. catches of mosquitoes (aedes taeniorhynchus (wiedemann), culex [melanoconion]) spp., cx. nigripalpus theobald, and wyeomyia spp.) and one tabanid (diachlorus ferrugatus (f.)) were affected significantly by co2 and octenol. significantly great ...19991905355
aedes taeniorhynchus (diptera: culicidae) oviposition patterns in a florida mangrove forest.the association of aedes taeniorhynchus eggs and several variables was studied in a florida mangrove forest. eggs were limited to stands of red mangrove (rhizophora mangle l.) that were embedded within a black mangrove (avicennia germinans l.) forest. the occurrence of eggs was related significantly to elevation and the amount of detritus. field and laboratory studies indicated that grazing on black mangrove detritus by the snail melampus coffeus l. may have limited detritus accumulation and soi ...19911941908
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 ...19901983456
collection and separation of aedes taeniorhynchus eggshells from mangrove soil.two methods to separate eggshells of aedes taeniorhynchus from mangrove soil were compared. selective sieving, using nested sieves with 0.185 and 0.170-mm screen openings, and water flotation both removed over 99% of the soil. however, water flotation recovered a significantly greater percentage of eggshells (62% vs. 34%). there was no significant difference in the recovery rate of viable eggs and new and old eggshells using water flotation.19912045802
poor vector efficiency of culex quinquefasciatus following infection with dirofilaria immitis.the vector efficiency of the haiti and covington strains of culex quinquefasciatus after feeding on dog blood infected with dirofilaria immitis (approximately 110 microfilariae (mf)/20 microliters of blood) was 1.2 and 0.3%, respectively, versus nearly 20% for the vero beach strain of aedes taeniorhynchus. at a much higher microfilaremia (approximately 400 mf/20 microliters), it was 1.6, 0.5 and 31.5%, respectively. the poor vector efficiency of the 2 cx. quinquefasciatus strains probably was du ...19912045806
distribution and sampling of aedes taeniorhynchus (diptera: culicidae) eggs in a florida mangrove forest.the distribution of aedes taeniorhynchus (wiedemann) eggs in a florida mangrove basin forest was quantified and used to design a sampling plan. eggs were found in detritus-rich soil with the highest densities in a band at elevations 0.1-0.2 m above the water line. dispersion indices (k and taylor's b) indicated that the eggs were aggregated; 14 of 16 populations tested fit the negative binomial distribution. a fixed-size sampling plan using systematic sampling was designed from these data.19912056510
integrated use of planaria (dugesia dorotocephala) and bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis against aedes taeniorhynchus: a laboratory bioassay.the effectiveness of integrating bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (b.t.i.) and the predatory planaria, dugesia dorotocephala against aedes taeniorhynchus was determined under controlled laboratory conditions. there was no significant effect (p greater than 0.05) of b.t.i. on d. dorotocephala either by direct association or through ingestion of b.t.i. dosed larvae. planaria, alone, and b.t.i. combined with planaria, both provided significant (p less than 0.05) reduction of ae. taeniorhynch ...19902098475
effects of controlled burning on aedes taeniorhynchus eggs in an abandoned rice impoundment in south carolina.controlled burning reduced the number of viable eggs in an aedes population. the effectiveness of the burn was related to the amount of rainfall, surface moisture and dry vegetation. a greater reduction in viable eggs occurred when the burn was close to the ground. variable results were achieved if the surface was moist but there was a significant reduction in the number of viable eggs, due to a heavy amount of dry vegetation accompanied by low rainfall.19902230784
small plot test of sustained-release altosid (methoprene) pellets against aedes taeniorhynchus in brackish water.four percent methoprene pellets applied at a rate of 2.2 kg/ha effectively controlled adult aedes taeniorhynchus emergence (93%) for over 3 weeks. efficacy declined to 38% 4 weeks posttreatment. at a rate of 4.5 kg/ha, 95% control was maintained for 34 days with the exception of the 5th week when only 72% control was observed.19902324717
a simulation model of water depth in mangrove basin forests.the construction and validation of a model simulating the water depth within mangrove basin forests is described. rainfall, water table, water depth and tide data collected from a red mangrove basin forest on marco island, fl, was used to estimate model parameters. these included the basin spillover height, evapotranspiration-infiltration rate and the functional relationship of water depth change to rainfall, tide and basin spillover. the model was constructed with lotus 123 and calibrated from ...19902370528
nectar-feeding habits of aedes taeniorhynchus.aedes taeniorhynchus were collected on the wing at several times during the day and night, in indian river and brevard county, florida. nonblooded females were individually analyzed for fructose and glycogen. fructose content of mosquitoes collected early in the morning and held without food during the day diminished to approximately the same level as in mosquitoes collected late in the afternoon. however, fructose content of mosquitoes collected before sunset and held without food overnight dim ...19902370536
current status on the florida abate monitoring program--susceptibility levels of three species of mosquitoes during 1984.during 1984, larval susceptibility tests of temephos were performed on aedes taeniorhynchus and culex nigripalpus collected from the same general areas as in 1980-82, and the results compared to the susceptible laboratory strains. no resistance was detected against these two species. when strains of culex quinquefasciatus from some new areas were tested against temephos, malathion, naled, fenthion and chlorpyrifos, their tolerance varied according to the insecticide tested and the origin of the ...19852466107
chronic pruritic eruption in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome associated with increased antibody titers to mosquito salivary gland antigens.five of seven patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (aids) who had pruritus and a chronic, nonspecific-appearing skin eruption had increased antibody titers to antigens in the salivary glands of aedes taeniorhynchus, a salt marsh mosquito common to south florida. we hypothesize that the pruritus and skin lesions in patients with aids represent a form of chronic "recall" reaction. increased antibody titers to mosquito salivary gland antigens may be a consequence of nonspecific b cell a ...19892569000
carbon dioxide and 1-octen-3-ol as mosquito attractants.interval suction traps were used to study the attractant effect of co2 and 1-octen-3-ol on trap catches of mosquito populations at 2 different locations in florida. there was no significant increase in the numbers of mosquitoes caught when the concentration of co2 was increased from 200 to 1,000 cc/min. one-octen-3-ol used by itself attracted mosquitoes in numbers similar to co2 released at 200 cc/min. one-octen-3-ol and co2 acted synergistically in attracting significantly greater numbers of ae ...19892573687
fluid secretion and microvillar ultrastructure in mosquito malpighian tubules.the malpighian tubules of fourth instar larvae, pupae, and female adults of the mosquito aedes taeniorhynchus were examined with regard to in vitro fluid secretion rate and the ultrastructural features of the microvillar border of the primary cells. in vitro fluid secretion rates were determined after stimulation with 5-hydroxytryptamine. while larval tubules are capable of rapid fluid secretion, the tubules of pupae exhibit very low rates of secretion, indistinguishable from 0 nl/h. the capacit ...19892589535

the effectiveness of permethrin and deet, alone or in combination, for protection against aedes taeniorhynchus.field tests were conducted to compare the degree of protection from bites by the mosquito aedes taeniorhynchus (wiedemann) provided by wearing clothing treated with permethrin [(3-phenoxyphenyl)methyl (+/-) cis/trans 3-(2-dichloroethenyl)2, 2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate] with that provided by applying deet (n,n-diethyl-m-toluamide) to exposed skin or by applying deet and wearing the treated clothing. human test subjects were exposed to natural populations of mosquitoes for a 9-hour daytime p ...19846148024
increased mosquito feeding on rift valley fever virus-infected lambs.experiments were conducted to determine whether or not mosquitoes exhibited an increase in feeding on rift valley fever (rvf) virus-infected lambs as compared to uninfected ones. overall, when given a choice between a viremic lamb, or its uninfected twin, 65% (1,264/1,943) of the engorged female culex pipiens obtained blood from the viremic lamb. this excess of feedings on viremic lambs was demonstrated regardless of the age of the lambs, or the time period between inoculation of the lambs and e ...19846150656
enhanced arboviral transmission by mosquitoes that concurrently ingested microfilariae.infection, dissemination, and transmission of an arbovirus in mosquitoes are enhanced by concurrent ingestion of microfilariae. ingestion of rift valley fever virus alone infected only 64 percent of female aedes taeniorhynchus. of these, only 5 percent of refeeding mosquitoes actually transmitted virus. in contrast, ingestion of the same amount of virus from concurrently microfilaremic (brugia malayi) gerbils resulted in 88 percent infection and 31 percent transmission. enhanced transmission of ...19846474165
dissociation of insect malpighian tubules into single, viable cells.the malpighian tubules of insects are generally composed of more than one cell type. in the hemipteran rhodnius prolixus, the tubules are divided into two regions, termed the upper and lower tubules, each of which is composed of a distinct cell type. in the dipteran aedes taeniorhynchus, primary and stellate cells are interspersed throughout the length of the tubules. we report here techniques for the dissociation of the malpighian tubules of both of these species into single cells. tubules are ...19846533146
early cellular responses in the malpighian tubules of the mosquito aedes taeniorhynchus to infection with dirofilaria immitis (nematoda).early ultrastructural changes in the malpighian tubules of the mosquito, aedes taeniorhynchus, were examined following infection with the nematode, dirofilaria immitis. after ingestion by the mosquito, the microfilariae enter the cells of the malpighian tubules, becoming intracellular. during early development, the filarial prelarvae reside in the cell cytoplasm surrounded by a clear zone without a delimiting membrane. cells infected with prelarvae differed from uninfected cells and from cells i ...19846737175
