| differential effects of bacillus sphaericus strain 2362 on culex quinquefasciatus and its competitor culex cinereus in west africa. | the larval susceptibility to bacillus sphaericus strain 2362 of the non-man-biting mosquito culex cinereus and the urban filariasis vector culex quinquefasciatus, two competitor mosquitoes in polluted habitats, was compared. in the laboratory, both species ingested a similar amount of b. sphaericus spores when fed c. 2 x 10(5) spores per ml for 30 min. however, in the same experiment, third-instar larvae of cx quinquefasciatus were reduced by 98% at 24 h exposure while cx cinereus larvae were on ... | 1987 | 2979516 |
| septic tank mosquitoes: competition between species in central nigeria. | exit traps, placed over the air vents of septic tanks, were used to examine species diversity and relative abundance of mosquitoes breeding in ammonia-rich waters of septic tanks. of the six species found, culex decens theobald and culex cinereus theobald appeared to be competing successfully with culex quinquefasciatus say during the wet season but not during the long dry season. the seasonal timing of their displacement by cx quinquefasciatus was variable and did not correlate well with climat ... | 1987 | 2979537 |
| [isolation of m'poko virus (turlock group, bunyaviridae) from culex cinereus mosquitoes in the republic of guinea]. | virological studies conducted in the republic of guinea led to the isolation, for the first time, of m'poko virus from culex cinereus mosquitoes. the biological, physical and antigenic characteristics of this virus are studied. serological tests are carried out in human and animal populations. | 1985 | 4075466 |
| the effect of domestic detergents on the population dynamics of the immature stages of two competitor mosquitoes, culex cinereus theobald and culex quinquefasciatus say (diptera, culicidae) in kenya. | in some rural areas of kenya pit latrines are the most important breeding places of culex quinquefasciatus, but this vector is often rapidly displaced by a competitor, culex cinereus, which then breeds prolifically in the latrines. in urban settlements, however, cesspools are the main breeding sites of c. quinquefasciatus and no such species replacement occurs. these latter habitats contain water contaminated with domestic detergents. when detergents were introduced into a pit latrine colonized ... | 1984 | 6143485 |
| comparison of methods for xenomonitoring in vectors of lymphatic filariasis in northeastern tanzania. | monitoring wuchereria bancrofti infection in mosquitoes (xenomonitoring) can play an important role in determining when lymphatic filariasis has been eliminated, or in focusing control efforts. as mosquito infection rates can be low, a method for collecting large numbers of mosquitoes is necessary. gravid traps collected large numbers of culex quinquefasciatus in tanzania, and a collection method that targets mosquitoes that have already fed could result in increased sensitivity in detecting w. ... | 2015 | 26350454 |
| gravid anopheles gambiae sensu stricto avoid ovipositing in bermuda grass hay infusion and it's volatiles in two choice egg-count bioassays. | a number of mosquito species in the culex and aedes genera prefer to lay eggs in bermuda grass (cynodon dactylon) hay infusions compared to water alone. these mosquitoes are attracted to volatile compounds from the hay infusions making the infusions effective baits in gravid traps used for monitoring vectors of arboviral and filarial pathogens. since bermuda grass is abundant and widespread, it is plausible to explore infusions made from it as a potential low cost bait for outdoor monitoring of ... | 2016 | 27177033 |
| full-length genome sequence of a sindbis virus strain isolated from culex cinereus in 1977 in bozo, central african republic. | we report here the complete genome sequence of a sindbis virus (sinv) strain, arb7761, isolated in 1977 in the central african republic. this strain, closely related to the babanki virus, belongs to the sinv genotype i clade. however, it differs from the egyptian prototype strain ar339 by several indels in the nsp3 gene. | 2018 | 29954885 |
