BACKGROUND Mosquitoes are considered as the vectors of dirofilariasis and some vector borne disease in Iran. The objective of this study was to determine the susceptibility level of the vectors to various insecticides recommended by WHO for any control measures in an endemic area in northwestern Iran. METHODS Mosquito larval and adult collections were carried out using different methods provi...

Abstract In many European countries, cemeteries are found to be suitable habitats for the proliferation of native and invasive mosquito species. The study aimed assess first time in Poland suitability urban larvae development water supply wells. From May September 2019 three Wroclaw (SW Poland), a total 757 inspection wells were carried out. development, expressed as general container index (GC...

Mosquitoes are the most important vectors that can transmit many diseases agents to humans and animals. This study was conducted in Edirne central district between July 2017 2018 identify vector mosquito species, determine their seasonality distribution pattern general terms. Larvae, pupae, adults were collected from areas assessed as being particularly suitable for medically species included g...

1. St. Louis virus has been successfully transmitted in the laboratory by the following 9 species of mosquitoes from 3 genera: Culex tarsalis, Culex pipiens, Culex coronator, Aedes lateralis, Aedes taeniorhynchus, Aedes vexans, Aedes nigromaculis, Theobaldia incidens, and Theobaldia inornata. 2. Though transmission has not been demonstrated, survival of the virus for more than a few days was sh...

background: there are unorganized, published documents about the ecology of mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae) in northeastern part of iran. the purpose of this study was to determine the distribution and characteristics of larval habitats of culicidae in kalaleh county. methods: larvae were collected using dipping method and adults by human landing catch technique during april–october, 2012. larv...

In 2009, 2589 mosquitoes were collected in northwest Italy and screened for orthobunyavirus RNA by RT-PCR. One pool of Anopheles maculipennis complex mosquitoes was found to be positive and a virus was isolated from that pool. The isolate was identified as Batai virus (BATV) by sequencing. Previously, BATV was detected in Italy, but limited data and no prior isolates existed. Full-length sequen...

We investigated whether small RNA (sRNA) sequenced from field-collected mosquitoes and chironomids (Diptera) can be used as a proxy signature of viral prevalence within a range of species and viral groups, using sRNAs sequenced from wild-caught specimens, to inform total RNA deep sequencing of samples of particular interest. Using this strategy, we sequenced from adult Anopheles maculipennis s....

BACKGROUND A field study on diversity and distribution of anophelines currently present in a past endemic malaria area of Spain was carried out in order to identify possible risk areas of local disease transmission. METHODS Multiple larval sites were sampled from June to October of 2011 in the Region of Somontano de Barbastro (Northeastern Spain). The sampling effort was fixed at 10 minutes w...
