| culicidae (diptera) selection of humans, chickens and rabbits in three different environments in the province of chaco, argentina. | studies were conducted to determine the selection of humans, chickens and rabbits by culicidae in three different environments in the province of chaco, argentina. mosquitoes were collected fortnightly using cylindrical metal traps containing animal bait (chickens and rabbits). the mosquitoes were collected between june 2001-may 2002. during the same period and with the same frequency, mosquitoes biting the human operators of the traps were collected during the first 15 min of exposure within di ... | 0 | 23903970 |
| mayaro virus and dengue virus 1 and 4 natural infection in culicids from cuiabá, state of mato grosso, brazil. | this study aimed to verify the diversity of culicidae species and their frequency of infection with flaviviruses and alphaviruses in cuiabá, state of mato grosso, brazil. mosquitoes were captured with nasci aspirators and hand net in 200 census tracts, identified alive at species level and pooled in one-20 (11,090 mosquitoes, 14 species). female pools (n = 610) were subjected to multiplex seminested-reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (rt-pcr) for 11 flavivirus and five alphavirus. p ... | 0 | 26784852 |
| diversity of mosquitoes and the aquatic insects associated with their oviposition sites along the pacific coast of mexico. | the abundance, richness and diversity of mosquitoes and aquatic insects associated with their oviposition sites were surveyed along eight states of the pacific coast of mexico. diversity was estimated using the shannon index (h'), similarity measures and cluster analysis. | 2014 | 24450800 |
| urban mosquito fauna in mérida city, méxico: immatures collected from containers and storm-water drains/catch basins. | we examined the species composition and temporal occurrence of immature mosquitoes in containers and storm-water drains/catch basins from november 2011 to june 2013 in mérida city, méxico. a wide range of urban settings were examined, including residential premises, vacant lots, parking lots, and streets or sidewalks with storm-water drains/catch basins. in total, 111,776 specimens of 15 species were recorded. the most commonly collected species were aedes (stegomyia) aegypti (l.) (n = 60,961) a ... | 0 | 25429168 |
| [The presence of Culicidae species in medium-sized cities in the State of São Paulo, Brazil and the risk of West Nile fever and other arbovirus infection]. | The objectives for this study were to measure the diversity of Culicidae species, describe their abundance and seasonal variation in São José do Rio Preto, SP, and discuss the risk of arbovirus infections. | 2011 | 21860898 |
| [mosquito (diptera: culicidae) ecology in natural and artificial breeding places in rural areas of the northern paraná state, brazil. i.--collections from a riverbed]. | the objective of this study is to identify the culicidae species apt to colonize the waters of a creek with reduced gallery forest in the southern region of brazil. captures were performed using a water insect-collecting net. the following species were captured. aedes crinifer, aedomya squamipennis, anopheles fluminensis, an. intermedius, an. albitarsis, an. argyritarsis, an. evansae, an. strodei, an. oswaldoi, an. triannulatus, chagasia fajardi, culex bidens, cx. group coronator, cx. eduardoi, ... | 1995 | 8539529 |
| molecular identification of two culex (culex) species of the neotropical region (diptera: culicidae). | culex bidens and c. interfor, implicated in arbovirus transmission in argentina, are sister species, only distinguishable by feature of the male genitalia; however, intermediate specimens of the species in sympatry have been found. fourth-instar larvae and females of both species share apomorphic features, and this lack of clear distinction creates problems for specific identification. geometric morphometric traits of these life stages also do not distinguish the species. the aim of the present ... | 2017 | 28235083 |
| classification of immature mosquito species according to characteristics of the larval habitat in the subtropical province of chaco, argentina. | to classify mosquito species based on common features of their habitats, samples were obtained fortnightly between june 2001-october 2003 in the subtropical province of chaco, argentina. data on the type of larval habitat, nature of the habitat (artificial or natural), size, depth, location related to sunlight, distance to the neighbouring houses, type of substrate, organic material, vegetation and algae type and their presence were collected. data on the permanence, temperature, ph, turbidity, ... | 2011 | 21739026 |
| characterisation of culex quinquefasciatus (diptera: culicidae) larval habitats at ground level and temporal fluctuations of larval abundance in córdoba, argentina. | the aims of this study were to characterise the ground-level larval habitats of the mosquito culex quinquefasciatus, to determine the relationships between habitat characteristics and larval abundance and to examine seasonal larval-stage variations in córdoba city. every two weeks for two years, 15 larval habitats (natural and artificial water bodies, including shallow wells, drains, retention ponds, canals and ditches) were visited and sampled for larval mosquitoes. data regarding the water dep ... | 0 | 24037200 |
