Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The high organic content of animal waste lagoons provides a favorable enviroment for the production of those species of mosquitos which prefer polluted waters. The most commom mosquitoes found in these lagoons in the United States are members of the culex pipiens comlex (Barr et al. 1969; Smith and enns 1967; 1969; steelman and colmer 1970). Members of this complex are also commom in humam waste stabilization lagoons (Kimerle and Enns 1968; Myklebust and Harmston 1962), food processing waste stabilization lagoons.

Download or read book Associative Learning Capabilities of Adult Culex Quinquefasciatus Say and Other Mosquitoes written by Michelle Renée Sanford and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The association of olfactory information with a resource is broadly known as olfactory-based associative learning. From an ecological perspective, associative learning can reduce search time for resources and fine tune responses to changing biotic and abiotic factors in a variable environment, which in mosquitoes has implications for pathogen transmission and vector control strategies. The purpose of this dissertation was to examine the ability for olfactory-based associative learning across the major life history domains of mosquitoes. Six different experiments comprise this dissertation. The first was to evaluate the response of mosquitoes following conditioning to 5, 10 or 50% sucrose concentrations with individual level mosquito conditioning and testing and introduction of statistical analysis with binary logistic regression. Mosquitoes did not respond in a dose dependent manner with respect to positive response to target odors following conditioning. This effect appears to be related to the mosquitoes' prior exposure to sugar as those exposed to 10% sucrose before conditioning did not prefer 50% sucrose but significantly fewer chose 5% sucrose. In an evaluation of host associated odors and second blood meal choice by females using a dual-choice olfactometer no significant effects were observed. The lack of significance may have been due to insufficient sample sizes, problems with odor collection or physiological state of mosquitoes. Effects of predatory mosquitofish on larval development and female oviposition choice were evaluated by rearing in separated habitats under three different treatments followed by an oviposition choice assay. Females did not prefer their natal habitat or avoid predators but chose substrate that had contained mosquitofish fed conspecific larvae. Mosquitofish affected larval development with acceleration in treatments with mosquitofish fed Tetramin® and delayed pupation in treatments with mosquitofish fed conspecific larvae. Mosquito memory length was evaluated by conditioning and testing at six time intervals from colony and field populations at two ages. Younger mosquitoes showed higher levels of positive response after conditioning at all time intervals except the longest (24h). Finally the olfactory-based associative learning ability of Anopheles cracens was evaluated. Significant evidence for learning was observed in males but not females at a memory length interval of 24h.

Zettel Nalen and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dual-choice oviposition bioassays were conducted using three mosquito species and three associated pathogens: Ae. aegypti and Edhazardia aedis Kudo, Ae. albopictus and Vavraia culicis floridensis (Weiser), and Cx. quinquefasciatus and CuniNPV. Gravid females were given a choice between an oviposition cup containing water and 10 healthy larvae versus water and 10 pathogen-infected larvae. Aedes aegypti oviposited significantly more eggs in the oviposition cup containing 10 healthy larvae. Edhazardia aedis-infected adults also oviposited significantly more often in cups containing 10 healthy larvae. Both Ae. albopictus and Cx. quinquefasciatus did not exhibit any significant preference for either oviposition cup. A detailed oviposition behavior analysis was conducted for four species. Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus were quite different in their oviposition behavior, but Cx. quinquefasciatus and Cx. tarsalis were very similar. Both healthy and E. aedis-infected adult Ae. aegypti laid significantly more eggs in substrate containing healthy larvae as opposed to substrate containing uninfected larvae, however Ae. albopictus and Cx. quinquefasciatus showed no preference. By understanding the behavioral steps in oviposition, new strategies for intervention can be developed to break the pathogen transmission cycle and better understand the behavioral changes that come with mosquito parasite or pathogen infection.

Download or read book Genetic Control of Malaria and Dengue written by Zach N. Adelman and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2015-10-15 with total page 487 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genetic Control of Malaria and Dengue focuses on the knowledge, technology, regulation and ethics of using genetically modified mosquitoes to interrupt the transmission of important vector-borne diseases including Malaria. It contains coverage of the current state of knowledge of vector-borne diseases and how they are currently controlled; vaccine, drug and insecticide development; various strategies for altering the genome of mosquitoes in beneficial ways; and the regulatory, ethical and social environment concerning these strategies. For more than five decades, the prospect of using genetically-modified mosquitoes to control vector-borne disease transmission has been a purely hypothetical scenario. We simply did not have the technology or basic knowledge to be able to do it. With the explosion of field trials and potential interventions in development, Genetic Control of Malaria and Dengue provides a comprehensive overview of research in genetics, microbiology, virology, and ecology involved in the development and implementation of genetic modification programs for virus and disease control. This book is meant to provide a practical guide to researchers, regulators and the general public about how this technology actually works, how it can be improved, and what is still unknown. - Includes coverage of vectorial capacity, critical to understanding vector-borne disease transmission - Provides a summary of the concepts of both population suppression and population replacement - Contains pivotal coverage of ethical and ecological ramifications of genetics-based control strategies

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Insect Chemical Ecology provides a comprehensive view of how natural selection acts upon interacting organisms and how particular physical and biological properties of chemical compounds act as constraints upon which natural selection may act. Individual chapters raise specific questions as to the nature of these interactions. The first part contains reviews on antagonistic and mutualistic chemical interactions, the `raw materials' of chemical evolution, the economics of offensive and defensive chemicals, and neurobiology. The second part discusses particular problems such as the evolution of resistance, insect pollination, learning, pheromones, sequestration of semiochemicals, the role of microorganisms, sex attractants, the evolution of host races and biotypes, and the role of semiochemicals and the evolution of sociality of insects. The last chapter discusses the role of chemical-based pest management programs in an ecological and evolutionary framework.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 589 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great importance of mosquitoes lies in their role as transmitters of pathogens and parasites, and in their use as experimental animals well suited to laboratory investigations into aspects of biochemistry, physiology and behaviour. The largest part of this latest volume of The Biology of Mosquitoes concerns interactions between mosquitoes and viruses and the transmission of arboviruses to their vertebrate hosts, while the remainder concerns symbiotic interactions between mosquitoes and bacteria. The introduction provides a timely review of the first major development in mosquito taxonomy for several decades. Further chapters describe the interactions between mosquitoes and the viruses that infect them, the transmission and epidemiology of seven very important arboviruses, and the biology of bacteria that are important control agents or of great biological interest. Like the earlier volumes, Volume 3 combines recent information with earlier important findings from field and laboratory to provide the broadest coverage available on the subject.
