Mosquito Host Selection Varies Seasonally with Host Availability and Mosquito Density
Host selection by vector mosquitoes is a critical component of virus proliferation, particularly for viruses such as West Nile (WNV) that are transmitted enzootically to a variety of avian hosts, and tangentially to dead-end hosts such as humans. Culex tarsalis is a principal vector of WNV in rural areas of western North America. Based on previous work, Cx. tarsalis utilizes a variety of avian ...

متن کاملTRPA1 tunes mosquito thermotaxis to host temperatures
Thermotaxis is a sensory-motor behavior that guides animals toward a preferred temperature. This type of sensory navigation allows animals to avoid environments of noxious cold and heat, with the goal of remaining in physiologically suitable ambient temperatures. For ectotherms such as insects, thermotaxis behavior is the primary method of thermoregulation. Many invertebrates are vulnerable to ...
متن کاملAdult Survivorship of the Dengue Mosquito Aedes aegypti Varies Seasonally in Central Vietnam
The survival characteristics of the mosquito Aedes aegypti affect transmission rates of dengue because transmission requires infected mosquitoes to survive long enough for the virus to infect the salivary glands. Mosquito survival is assumed to be high in tropical, dengue endemic, countries like Vietnam. However, the survival rates of wild populations of mosquitoes are seldom measured due the d...
متن کاملRecent pathogen and mosquito host records from Penang Island, Malaysia.
The search for biological control agents of mosquitoes is an important component of the Steering Committee of the Scientific Workine Group on Biological Control of Vectors (UNDP7 WORLD BANK/WHO Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases). Such searches may eventually provide additional biological control agents for use against disease vectors in tropical countries and also...
