Development of Dirofilaria immitis and Dirofilaria repens in Aedes japonicus and Aedes geniculatus

Dirofilaria immitis: effect on the longevity of Aedes trivittatus.

CHRISTENSEN, B. M. 1978. Dirofilaria immitis: Effect on the longevity of Aedes trivittatus. Experimental Parasitology 44, 116-123. Laboratory studies on vector mortality as related to parasite burden revealed that the mosquito Aedes trivittutus showed considerable tolerance to infection with the filarial nematode Dirofilaria immitis. Although mosquitoes exposed to a dog with a high microfilarem...

Relative suitability of Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti in North Carolina to support development of Dirofilaria immitis.

The relative suitability of two colonies established from local strains of Aedes albopictus (Wilmington and Rockingham) and a local (Raleigh) and laboratory (Liverpool) strain of Ae. aegypti to support development of Dirofilaria immitis was investigated. High levels of mortality occurred 1-2 days after mosquitoes fed on a heavily microfilaremic (28,617 microfilariae/ml) dog but not when mosquit...

Vector competence of Aedes aegypti (L.) and Culex quinquefasciatus (Say) for Dirofilaria immitis (Leidy).

This study was performed to examine the vector competence of Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus for Dirofilaria immitis. Eleven individual experiments were conducted in this study. Nonthaburi and Udon Thani strains of Ae. aegypti were allowed to feed on infected dogs that had 5,750 and 4,600 microfilariae (mW) per ml of blood, respectively. Three groups of Bangkok-strain Cx. quinquefascia...

Susceptibility of Aedes scapularis (Rondani, 1848) to Dirofilaria immitis (Leidy, 1856), an emerging zoonosis.

Development of Dirofilaria immitis (Leidy) in Aedes aegypti (L.) and Culex quinquefasciatus (say) from Maceió, Alagoas, Brazil.
