[Host preference of Culicidae (Diptera) collected in central Argentina].
In order to study the host preference of female mosquitoes, samples were taken fortnightly in Cordoba and Cosquin (Argentina), during October-April of two consecutive years. Four different vertebrates were used in baited-can traps: frogs, chickens, rabbits and turtles. The genus Culex accounted for 92.9% of the specimens collected. Aedes for 7.0% and Psorophora ciliata 0.02%. The highest propor...
متن کاملBiting activity of Aedes scapularis (Rondani) and Haemagogus mosquitoes in southern Brazil (Diptera: Culicidae).
The biting activity of a population of Aedes scapularis (Rondani), Haemagogus capricornii Lutz and Hg. leucocelaenus (Dyar and Shannon) in Southern Brazil was studied between March 1980 and April 1983. Data were obtained with 25-hour human bait catches in three areas with patchy residual forests, named "Jacaré-Pepira", "Lupo" Farm, and "Sta. Helena" Farm, in the highland region of S. Paulo Stat...
متن کاملLaboratory evaluation of avian odors for mosquito (Diptera: Culicidae) attraction.
Attraction of Culex quinquefasciatus Say, Culex tarsalis Coquillett, Culex nigripalpus Theobald, and Aedes aegypti (L.) to avian and other host odors was investigated in a dual-port olfactometer. Although attraction to a human arm was high for Ae. aegypti (>80%) and low for all Culex spp. (<25%), all species responded similarly to a chicken (55.3-73.6%). Responses of Ae. aegypti, Cx. quinquefas...
متن کاملHost preference of Danish biting midges: Molecular identification of biting midges and their blood meal hosts
Culicoides vectors are critical to the survival and transmission of bluetongue virus as infection only occurs in areas or regions where competent vectors are present. The success of Culicoides biting midges as vectors is mainly related to their vast population sizes and to their means of dispersal. Their choice of host for blood feeding is sparsely described. The aim of the present study was to...
متن کاملBiting patterns of Anopheles minimus complex (Diptera: Culicidae) in experimental huts treated with DDT and deltamethrin.
Biting patterns of natural populations of Anopheles minimus s.l. females entering experimental huts treated with DDT and deltamethrin were carried out at Pu Teuy Village, Sai Yok District, Kanchanaburi Province, western Thailand. Two experimental huts, control and treatment, were constructed in the fashion of local Thai homes. Pre-spray biting activity of An. minimus females peaked at 19:00-22:...
