Population dynamics of Armigeres subalbatus (Diptera: Culicidae) across a temperate altitudinal gradient.
Understanding the impacts of weather fluctuations, and environmental gradients, on the abundance of vectors is fundamental to grasp the dynamic nature of the entomological risk for disease transmission. The mosquito Armigeres subalbatus (Coquillet) is a common vector of filariasis. Nevertheless, its population dynamics have been relatively poorly studied. Here, we present results from a season ...
متن کاملStudy on cibarial armature and sense organs of Armigeres subalbatus (Coquillett) with scanning electron microscope (Diptera: Culicidae)
A detailed description of cibarium of Armigeres (Armigeres) subalbatus (Coquillett) has been illustrated for the first time with the aid of Scanning Electron Microscope. The description of cibarial armature is based on structure of cibarial bar, width & characteristic of lateral flanges and number of cibarial sense organs or papillae viz. palatal papillae, larger dorsal papillae, and smaller do...
متن کاملModeling the population dynamics of Culex quinquefasciatus (Diptera: Culicidae), along an elevational gradient in Hawaii.
We present a population model to understand the effects of temperature and rainfall on the population dynamics of the southern house mosquito, Culex quinquefasciatus Say, along an elevational gradient in Hawaii. We use a novel approach to model the effects of temperature on population growth by dynamically incorporating developmental rate into the transition matrix, by using physiological ages ...
متن کاملMosquito Transcriptome Profiles and Filarial Worm Susceptibility in Armigeres subalbatus
BACKGROUND Armigeres subalbatus is a natural vector of the filarial worm Brugia pahangi, but it kills Brugia malayi microfilariae by melanotic encapsulation. Because B. malayi and B. pahangi are morphologically and biologically similar, comparing Ar. subalbatus-B. pahangi susceptibility and Ar. subalbatus-B. malayi refractoriness could provide significant insight into recognition mechanisms req...
متن کاملDevelopment of a comparative genetic linkage map for Armigeres subalbatus using Aedes aegypti RFLP markers.
One of the causative agents of lympahtic filariasis is the nematode parasite Brugia malayi that requires a competent mosquito vector for its development and transmission. Armigeres subalbatus mosquitoes rapidly destroy invading B. malayi microfilariae via a defense response known as melanotic encapsulation. We have constructed a genetic linkage map for this mosquito species using RFLP markers f...
