Abstract:

12 pp.<br>Mosquitoes are the most important insect pests that affect the health and well-being of humans and domestic animals worldwide. They can cause a variety of health problems due to their ability to transfer (vector) viruses and other disease-causing pathogens, including in the arid Southwest U.S. This publication describes the mosquito life-cycle, introduces common pest mosquito species and the diseases associated with them. Mosquito management for residents is covered.

Abstract:

Aedes mosquitoes are responsible for the transmission of several arboviruses throughout tropical and subtropical regions of the world. In the Americas, Aedes aegypti is the most competent vector of dengue, chikungunya, Zika, and yellow fever. With up to 400 million cases globally each year, dengue fever is the fastest growing vector-borne disease in the world, and it has become an increasingly significant risk to global health. In the Western Hemisphere, dengue, and more recently chikungunya and Zika, exists throughout much of Latin America and the Caribbean. Both diseases are spread via A

Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) produce a diverse array of toxic or otherwise bioactive metabolites. These allelochemicals may also play a role in defense against potential predators and grazers, particularly aquatic invertebrates and their larvae, including mosquitoes. Compounds derived from cyanobacteria collected from the Florida Everglades and other Florida waterways were investigated as insecticides against the mosquito Aedes aegypti, a vector of dengue and yellow fever. Screening of cyanobacterial biomass revealed several strains that exhibited mosquito larvicidal activity. Guided via b

Abstract:

The ecology of mosquito populations in relation to weather conditions, emergent plants and predation in an urban wetland of Canberra was studied. Anopheles annulipes, Aedes notoscriptus, Aedes australicus, Aedes alboannulata, Culex annulirostris and Culex quinquefasciatus were found. Temperature was a major climatic factor in determining the abundance of mosquito populations in the wetland. First collections and subsequent development of mosquitoes in Ginninderra wetland are likely to depend on local weather conditions each year. The wetland proper was not a suitable habitat for mosquito breed

Abstract:

Long-term insect abundances have been studied to investigate factors structuring the insect communities of the temporary wetlands around the River Dalälven floodplain. In the wet meadows and swamps in the River Dalälven floodplains recurrent floods are the ultimate prerequisite for high production of floodwater mosquitoes. In the larval stages these make up a superabundant potential prey for aquatic predatory insects while as adults they become nuisance for people and animals. Mosquito control with Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) has been carried out in parts of the floodplain wetland

A total of 1964 mosquitoes were collected, representing 24 species within 6 genera: Aedes, Anopheles, Culiseta, Culex, Psorophora, and Uranotaenia. Culex was the most abundant genus, representing 75% of all mosquitoes collected; Aedes was the second most abundant, representing 12 % of all mosquitoes collected. Cx.

Flying insects face challenging conditions such as rainfall, fog, and dew. In this theoretical and experimental thesis, we investigate the survival mechanisms of the mosquito, Anopheles, through particles of various size. Large particles such as falling raindrops can weigh up to fifty times a mosquito. Mosquitoes survive such impacts by virtue of their low mass and strong exoskeleton. Smaller particle sizes, as present in fog and insecticide, pose the greatest danger. Mosquitoes cannot fly through seemingly innocuous household humidifier fog or other gases with twice the density of air. Upon l

Vector control is an essential and effective approach for controlling transmission of vector-borne diseases. However, increasing resistance to insecticide and drugs suggests that new strategies to control vector-borne diseases are needed. One possible strategy involves replacing mosquito populations with disease-resistant transgenic mosquitoes. Transposable elements (TEs) are an important component in this new strategy due to their ability to integrate exogenous DNA into chromosomes. They could potentially be useful tools in assisting the spread of disease-resistant genes in mosquito populatio

Furthermore, mosquito nuisance biting is an immense issue that cannot be ignored in terms of its impact on African communities. Depending on the respective factors involved, mosquito co

The Bunyaviridae family is one of the largest among RNA viruses, comprising more than 350 serologically distinct viruses. The family is classified into five genera, Orthobunyavirus, Hantavirus, Nairovirus, Phlebovirus, and Tospovirus. Orthobunyaviruses, nairoviruses and phleboviruses are maintained in nature by a propagative cycle involving blood-feeding arthropods and susceptible vertebrate hosts. Like most arthropod-borne viruses, bunyavirus replication causes little damage to the vector, whereas infection of the mammalian host may lead to death. This situation is mimicked in the laboratory:

Repellents play a key role in preventing mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria by reducing human-vector contact. The general mechanism of action relies on providing a repelling vapour around the applied area on the skin. Thus, the proper evaporation rate and consistency of the composition of the released vapour are factors determining the performance of repellent formulations. The formulation should evaporate fast enough to provide a sufficient level of repellence during its life time. However, if evaporation proceeds too fast, then it will be depleted rapidly so that activity is lost

Abstract:

Mosquitoes are notorious vectors for multiple diseases like malaria, yellow fever and dengue fever. To manipulate gene expression in mosquito and spread desired genes among natural population for vector control, a thorough understanding of mosquito development and gene regulation is critical. Early embryogenesis is a rapid, complex yet crucial process in the very beginning of development. Previous research in other species indicated genes transcribed that early evolved fast and played essential roles. The study of mosquito early zygotic genes (EZGs) would offer unique insights into mosquito ge

Abstract:

Mosquito borne-diseases are responsible for high rates of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Ross River, Barmah Forest, Murray Valley encephalitis and Kunjin viruses are presently endemic in the Northern Territory, while dengue virus and malaria are at risk of re-establishment. In this thesis, I describe the epidemiology of the major endemic mosquito-borne diseases of the Northern Territory, past and present, and evaluate control strategies adopted to reduce mosquito abundance and disease transmission. Some findings include; Aedes vigilax larval densities were almost 10 times greater in artifi

Abstract:

Low level and variable transgene expression plague efforts to produce and characterize transgenic lines in many species. When transformation efficiency is high, productive transgenic lines can be generated with reasonable effort. However, most efforts to date in mosquitoes have resulted in suboptimal levels of transformation. This, coupled with the large space and intensive labor requirements of mosquito colony maintenance makes the optimization of transformation in mosquitoes a research priority. This study proposes two strategies for improving transgene expression and transformation efficien
