We surveyed the genetic ancestry and recorded the occurrence of autogeny, the developmental times, and survival rates in families of Culex pipiens in Santa Clara County, CA, at 37°N latitude. Females in 95% of the families produced fertile egg rafts without access to blood (= autogeny) after mating in stenogamous conditions. Developmental time, survival, and egg raft production were closely cor...

Blood-feeding and autogenous sub-colonies were selected from a laboratory, stock colony of Aedes togoi, which was originally collected from Koh Nom Sao, Chanthaburi province, Southeast Thailand. Comparative biology and filarial susceptibility between the two sub-colonies (blood-feeding: F11, F13; autogeny: F38, F40) were investigated to evaluate their viability and vectorial capacity. The resul...

This study&rsquos goal is determining the accurate relationship of central bank with its environment through recognizing the conditions of this bank in four aspects of autogeny(internal authority), heterogeny (interaction), discretion(influence in environment) and detachment (organization self usage of it's resources) . This study is discovery and survey in terms of method. Collecting data tool...

the purpose of this research is to prioritize the indexes of discretion, heterogeny and autogeny factors in order to analyze and evaluate their readiness for ideal situation of central bank of the islamic republic of iran (cbi). this research is an exploratory kind and in terms of method is a survey kind. the data collection tool is questionnaire. after two delphi cycles, in final questionnaire...

Mosquitoes of the Culex pipiens Linné, 1758 complex are distributed all over the world, and are of great medical and veterinary importance. They are active bloodsuckers primarily in urban environments, and serve as vectors of various pathogens infecting man and/or animals. This complex is characterized by a high ecological plasticity, and intricate taxonomic structure. The complex includes C. p...

Since its introduction in 1999, West Nile virus (WNV) has spread across North America. Culex tarsalis is a highly efficient WNV vector species. Many traits such as virus susceptibility, autogeny and host preference vary geographically and temporally in C. tarsalis . Culex tarsalis genomic libraries were developed and were highly enriched for microsatellite inserts (42–96%). We identified 12 loc...
