Hybridization of Aedes (protomacleaya) zoosophus with Ae. (Pro.) triseriatus group species: hybrid morphology.
نویسنده
چکیده
Morphology of hybrids between Aedes (Protomacleaya) zoosophus and Ae. (Pro.) triseriatus group species is described. Adult females of hybrids key to Ae. zoosophus. Hybrids are differentiated from Ae. zoosophus by the dark longitudinal medial or submedial lines on the thorax and by the reduced width of the light tarsal and abdominal bands. The transverse band of light scales on the anterior scutum is complete in Ae. hendersoni/Ae. zoosophus hybrids and incomplete in Ae. triseriatus/Ae. zoosophus hybrids. Aedes brelandi/Ae. zoosophus hybrids are similar to Ae. hendersoni/Ae. zoosophus hybrids. However, due to the allopatric distributions of Ae. brelandi and Ae. zoosophus, such hybrids are not expected.

Comparative potential of Aedes triseriatus, Aedes albopictus, and Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) to transovarially transmit La Crosse virus.
Aedes triseriatus (Say) (Diptera: Culicidae), the major vector of La Crosse (LAC) virus, efficiently transmits LAC virus both horizontally and transovarially. We compared the vector competence and transovarial transmission ability of Ae. triseriatus, Aedes albopictus Skuse, and Aedes aegypti (L.) for LAC virus. Ae. triseriatus and Ae. albopictus were significantly more susceptible to oral infec...
متن کاملEffects of elevated atmospheric CO2 on competition between the mosquitoes Aedes albopictus and Ae. triseriatus via changes in litter quality and production.
Elevated atmospheric CO2 can alter aquatic communities via changes in allochthonous litter inputs. We tested effects of atmospheric CO2 on the invasive Aedes albopictus (Skuse) and native Aedes triseriatus (Say) (Diptera: Culicidae) via changes in competition for microbial food or resource inhibition/toxicity. Quercus alba L. litter was produced under elevated (879 ppm) and ambient (388 ppm) at...
متن کاملSeasonal occurrence and abundance of Aedes triseriatus and other mosquitoes in a La Crosse virus-endemic area in western North Carolina.
The species composition and population abundance of mosquitoes were investigated from May to November in 1989 and 1990 on the Cherokee Indian Reservation, an area of western North Carolina endemic for transmission of La Crosse (LAC) virus. Mosquitoes representing 6 genera and 13 species were collected. Aedes triseriatus was the most abundant species collected, comprising over 98% of mosquitoes ...

A significant increase in the number of reported cases of La Crosse virus (LACV) infections in eastern Tennessee has occurred in the last ten years. The objective of this study was to determine the abundance and habitat preferences of the potential vectors of LACV in this region. Adult host-seeking mosquitoes were collected using CO(2)-baited CDC light traps and a series of human-landing catche...

To ascertain mosquito species-specific oviposition height preferences, a study was conducted evaluating the response of field populations of container-inhabiting mosquitoes to water, oak (Quercus spp.),or oak-pine (Pinus spp.) infusion-baited ovitraps in four suburban and four sylvatic habitats in north central Florida. In total, 48 ovitraps, 24 suspended at each height of 1 or 6 m (near the gr...
