Oviposition response of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes to different concentrations of hay infusion in Trinidad, West Indies.

چکیده
Ovitraps containing various concentrations of hay infusion and tap water were exposed weekly in the field for 15 wk to determine the oviposition patterns of Aedes aegypti. The results showed 10, 20, 60 and 80% hay infusions each attracted similar numbers of Ae. aegypti eggs oviposited and egg occurrences. No repellent effect was observed. In another field study, significantly more eggs and egg occurrences were collected from 25 and 50% hay infusions and tap water. The differences in these results from those of a previous study in Puerto Rico are discussed.

Dengue is a vector-borne disease caused by dengue virus. According to the recent report of CDC that one-third population of the world are at high risk with Dengue fever. The prevalence of the dengue hemorrhagic fever was found more in tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. Aedes mosquitoes was reported as the main cause of transmission of dengue virus. So the current study was planned ...

This study examines the use of codominant restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) markers to estimate the number of sibling families found within and among oviposition sites used by the mosquito Aedes aegypti (L) (Diptera: Culicidae). Estimates were made using pairwise relatedness (rxy) calculations based on alleles shared between individuals. Genotypes for eight laboratory mosquito fam...

Since a safe and effective mass vaccination program against dengue fever is not presently available, a good way to prevent and control dengue outbreaks depends mainly on controlling the mosquito vectors. Aedes aegypti mosquito populations can be monitored and reduced by using ovitraps baited with organic infusions. A series of laboratory experiments were conducted which demonstrated that the ba...

The duration of blood feeding by similar-sized Aedes aegypti (L.) was determined under laboratory conditions in Trinidad, West Indies. Ae. aegypti from the F0 generation contained individuals that fed quickly (106.2 seconds) as well as slowly (330.0 seconds). Among the fast feeders (<2 min), the time taken for blood feeding during the first gonotrophic cycle was much shorter than that observed ...

Water storage drums are often a primary breeding site for Aedes aegypti in developing countries. Habitat characteristics can impact both adult and larval fitness and survival, which may potentially influence arbovirus transmission. Our objective was to compare fundamental environmental differences in water drums based on the presence or absence of larvae in Trinidad. Drums were categorized acco...
