Abstract:
People living in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world face an enormous health burden due to mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, and filariasis. Historically and today, targeting mosquito vectors with, primarily, insecticide-based control strategies have been a key control strategy against major mosquito-borne diseases. However, the success to date of such approaches is under threat from multiple insecticide resistance mechanisms while vector control (VC) options are still limited. The situation therefore requires the development of innovative control measures against major mosquito-borne diseases. Transinfecting mosquitos with symbiotic bacteria that can compete with targeted pathogens or manipulate host biology to reduce their vectorial capacity are a promising and innovative biological control approach. In this review, we discuss the current state of knowledge about the association between mosquitoes andWolbachia, emphasizing the limitations of different mosquito control strategies and the use of mosquitoes’ commensal microbiota as innovative approaches to control mosquito-borne diseases.

Abstract:
Mosquitoes often being the vector of some diseases, such as dengue hemorrhagic fever. To prevent these diseases vectored by mosquitoes, we could use mosquito repellent. But based on some research, these mosquito repellents on the market contain some dangerous chemicals, for example, Dichlorvos, Porpoxure, and synthetic pyrethroid. These kinds of chemicals can cause some side effects that are not good for health, ranging from headaches, nausea, to cancer and organ dysfunction. Therefore, it is necessary to have a mosquito repellent that is safer for health with minimal side effects. This research is an experimental type of research that aimed to determine the effectiveness of anti-mosquito in the form of an aromatherapy candle made of the beehive with the consistency of pala pulp extract and langsat seed extract. Pala pulp extract and langsat seed extract were obtained from the maceration method and then processed by Rotary Evaporator. The concentrations used are Pala pulp extract: langsat seed extract. I: 0,5gr:0,25gr, II: 5gr:2,5gr. Both of the concentrations will be blend into 200gr of solid candle that will be melt. A test was made on some adult mosquitoes. Mosquitoes are being bred. The mosquitoes were placed on a cage that had been build by the researchers first. The measurement scale on this research is the mortality rate of the mosquitoes counted from the second we light up the anti-mosquito aromatherapy candle. There are two types of data analysis on this research, includes the anti-mosquito test and organoleptic test. The first concentration test's result shows that there is a very minimal effect on the mosquitoes. when the test was run, there were five adult mosquitoes inside the cage, an observation was done for 10 minutes counted from the time the candle was lit up. At the first 2 minutes 10 seconds, there is 1 mosquito that died, and the rest of the time for 10 minutes there was no other  mosquito died. The second concentration test's result shows a really big impact on the mortality rate of the mosquito. There were seven adult mosquitoes inside the cage when the test was run. And for 10 minutes, 6 mosquitos died. This means that the second concentration was the most effective amount of the concentration to apply on the candle. Hopefully, the result of this research could be useful for society in terms of environment-friendly anti- mosquito usage.

Abstract:
Mosquitoes are animals that are very often found in everyday life. Starting from the home environment, to the school environment. Mosquitoes are also animals that can carry various diseases. The FMIPA UNY Biology Garden Laboratory is overgrown with trees and there is a pool of water from several ponds that are deliberately made. That is what makes mosquitoes like the environment that is included in their habitat. At the UNY Biology Garden Laboratory, which is one of the student learning locations, mosquitoes are found flying and sometimes disrupting learning activities because they can stab and cause itching. The disturbance is feared to cause mosquito-borne diseases in students who are active in biology gardens. So that mosquito traps are made that are modified and adapted to the needs and location of the target. The tool made is a simple mosquito trap that utilizes a pool of water from a fish pond and a net from mesh or paranet cloth. The target place is the FMIPA UNY Biology Garden Laboratory, especially the pool area. While the target is the larvae or seeds of mosquitoes left by the mother. It is expected that the mosquitoes will perch on the paranet to lay eggs, then the eggs will fall down and will be eaten by fish. This is in addition to reducing the growth of mosquitoes, it can also be used for alternative food for fish, which can reduce spending to buy fish feed. Key words: mosquitos, trap

Abstract:
In the implementation of mosquito control strategy programs using Sterile Insect Technique and other rear and release strategies, knowledge on the dispersion, competitiveness and survival of mosquitos is considered essential. To assess these parameters, marking techniques are generally used to differentiate colony mosquitoes from wild ones. Most of the existing mosquito marking methods require numerous manipulations that can impact their quality. In this study, we have developed a self-marking technique that can reduce the damage associated with mosquito handling. The marking technique consisted of adding fluorescent powder (DayGlo: A-17-N Saturn yellow) directly to the surface water of the receptacle containing Aedes aegypti male pupae. Different quantities of powder were used, and marking efficacy, powder persistence and mosquito survival were assessed. The results show a mean marking rate of 98 ± 1.61%, and the probability of marking increased significantly (p < 0.001) with increasing concentrations of fluorescent powder. Fluorescent powder persisted up to 20 days and did not induce a negative effect on mosquito survival (χ2 = 5.3, df = 7, p = 0.63). In addition, powder transfer did not occur between marked and unmarked populations. This marking method significantly reduces human intervention and mosquito handling during the marking process, improving the quality of marked mosquitoes used to assess SIT programs.

Abstract:
Mosquitoes can be found in almost every country. Many mosquito repellents have been introduced to the market in order to combat them. The mosquitos, on the other hand, developed a resistance to them. Not only that, but users are experiencing a variety of known and unknown negative side effects. As a result, a poly herbal insect repellent gel has been developed in an attempt to give dependable, long-lasting, and full protection from mosquito bites by destroying them. Three essential oils were included in the formulation of the mosquito repellent gel, as well as polymers such as tween 80, span 20, Carbopol 934, and triethanolamine. They were assessed based on their actions. Spreadibility, viscosity, swelling index, and mosquito repellent activity were used to evaluate the prepared mosquito repellent gel. As acceptance criterion, all parameters received favorable responses. The rheological study and mosquito repellent activity are highly correlated. Although the results of the current trials are promising, there is still room for more pharmacokinetic research. Keywords: Essential Oil, Emulsion Formulations, Gel, Mosquito Repellent Activity

Abstract:
Mosquito-borne arboviruses, such as dengue virus, West Nile virus, Zika virus and yellow fever virus, impose a tremendous cost on the health of populations around the world. As a result, much effort has gone into the study of the impact of these viruses on human infections. Comparatively less effort, however, has been made to study the way these viruses interact with mosquitoes themselves. As ingested arboviruses infect their midgut and subsequently other tissue, the mosquito mounts a multifaceted innate immune response. RNA interference, the central intracellular antiviral defense mechanism in mosquitoes and other invertebrates can be induced and modulated through outside triggers (small RNAs) and treatments (transgenesis or viral-vector delivery). Accordingly, modulation of this facet of the mosquito’s immune system would thereby suggest a practical strategy for vector control. However, this requires a detailed understanding of mosquitoes’ endogenous small RNAs and their effects on the mosquito and viral proliferation. This paper provides an up-to-date overview of the mosquito’s immune system along with novel data describing miRNA profiles for Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasiatus in Grenada, West Indies.

Abstract:
The global impact of mosquito-borne diseases has increased significantly over recent decades. Ebinur Lake virus (EBIV), a newly classified orthobunyavirus, is reported to be highly pathogenic in adult mice. The evaluation of vector competence is essential for predicting the arbovirus transmission risk. Here, Aedes aegypti was applied to evaluate EBIV infection and dissemination in mosquitos. Our experiments indicated that Ae. aegypti had the possibility to spread EBIV (with a transmission rate of up to 11.8% at 14 days post-infection) through biting, with the highest viral dose in a single mosquito’s saliva reaching 6.3 plaque-forming units. The highest infection, dissemination and ovary infection rates were 70%, 42.9%, and 29.4%, respectively. The high viral infection rates in Ae. aegypti ovaries imply the possibility of EBIV vertical transmission. Ae. aegypti was highly susceptible to intrathoracic infection and the saliva-positive rate reached 90% at 10 days post-infection. Transcriptomic analysis revealed Toll and Imd signaling pathways were implicated in the mosquito’s defensive response to EBIV infection. Defensin C and chitinase 10 were continuously downregulated in mosquitoes infected via intrathoracic inoculation of EBIV. Comprehensive analysis of the vector competence of Ae. aegypti for EBIV in laboratory has indicated the potential risk of EBIV transmission through mosquitoes. Moreover, our findings support a complex interplay between EBIV and the immune system of mosquito, which could affect its vector competence.

Abstract:
Aedes mosquitoes are responsible for the transmission of several arboviruses throughout tropical and subtropical regions of the world. In the Americas, Aedes aegypti is the most competent vector of dengue, chikungunya, Zika, and yellow fever. With up to 400 million cases globally each year, dengue fever is the fastest growing vector-borne disease in the world, and it has become an increasingly significant risk to global health. In the Western Hemisphere, dengue, and more recently chikungunya and Zika, exists throughout much of Latin America and the Caribbean. Both diseases are spread via Aedes mosquitoes and both constitute major health risks in Costa Rica. A dengue outbreak in Costa Rica in 2013 was the largest epidemic in the country since the return of the disease in 1993. Moreover, between 2014 and 2015 there was a 54.9% increase in dengue cases in Costa Rica, further demonstrating the relevancy of research on mosquito-borne diseases. Given this context, this study employs qualitative methods to critically investigate measures to combat Aedes mosquito-borne diseases in Costa Rica. Data were collected using household interviews (n = 80); semi-structured key informant interviews with public health officials, researchers, nonprofit organizations, and community leaders (n = 22); and a focus group discussion in each of two study areas. The results provide broad and place-specific information about mosquito control efforts and other actions deployed in Costa Rica to mitigate mosquito-borne diseases. The data reveal differences in perceptions and disease incidence among household interviewees as well as where households source information about mosquitoes and mosquito-borne diseases. Varying degrees of knowledge on mosquitoes and mosquito-borne diseases were uncovered across the study sites, as were differing attitudes among the general population regarding mosquito control techniques (e.g., fumigation, education campaigns, and household visits by public health officials). Additionally, data indicated a gap in knowledge regarding the ability of the public to report mosquito-related problems to health authorities. Households also exhibited discrepancies in knowledge pertaining to chikungunya transmission and details about the vector.

Abstract:
Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) produce a diverse array of toxic or otherwise bioactive metabolites. These allelochemicals may also play a role in defense against potential predators and grazers, particularly aquatic invertebrates and their larvae, including mosquitoes. Compounds derived from cyanobacteria collected from the Florida Everglades and other Florida waterways were investigated as insecticides against the mosquito Aedes aegypti, a vector of dengue and yellow fever. Screening of cyanobacterial biomass revealed several strains that exhibited mosquito larvicidal activity. Guided via bioassay guided fractionation, a non-polar compound from Leptolyngbya sp. 21-9-3 was found to be the most active component. Characterization revealed the prospective compound to be a monounsaturated fatty acid with the molecular formula C16H30O2. This is the first evidence of mosquito larvicidal activity for this particular fatty acid. With larvicidal becoming more prevalent, fatty acids should be explored for future mosquito control strategies.

Abstract:
The ecology of mosquito populations in relation to weather conditions, emergent plants and predation in an urban wetland of Canberra was studied. Anopheles annulipes, Aedes notoscriptus, Aedes australicus, Aedes alboannulata, Culex annulirostris and Culex quinquefasciatus were found. Temperature was a major climatic factor in determining the abundance of mosquito populations in the wetland. First collections and subsequent development of mosquitoes in Ginninderra wetland are likely to depend on local weather conditions each year. The wetland proper was not a suitable habitat for mosquito breeding. Tall emergent vegetation may have obstructed oviposition and predation was also important in limiting colonization by mosquitoes. Instead, isolated temporary waterbodies which were free of predators, such as ground depressions, tyre tracks, domestic waste containers, were the most important habitats for mosquitoes adjacent to the Ginninderra wetland. Field experiments found that predation of mosquito larvae by mosquitofish Gambusia qffinis and notonectids Anisops was more efficient in sunlight than shade and this was affected by the height of emergent plants.

Abstract:
Long-term insect abundances have been studied to investigate factors structuring the insect communities of the temporary wetlands around the River Dalälven floodplain. In the wet meadows and swamps in the River Dalälven floodplains recurrent floods are the ultimate prerequisite for high production of floodwater mosquitoes. In the larval stages these make up a superabundant potential prey for aquatic predatory insects while as adults they become nuisance for people and animals. Mosquito control with Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) has been carried out in parts of the floodplain wetlands since 2002. This study investigate potential long-term effects of Bti on non-target insects in general, and non-biting midges (Diptera: Chironomidae) and aquatic predator insects in special in 10 temporary wetlands. Diving-beetles (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae) were the most common aquatic predatory insects in temporary flooded wetlands, and we found no indications that diving-beetles were negatively affected by mosquito larvae reduction with Bti-treatments. Non-target Bti-effects on the insect community in general, measured as increase or decrease of insect abundances, in general showed no effects of Bti except for Coleoptera. The non-biting midges were studied on species level, since this taxon previously has been associated with negative Bti non-target effects in the short-term. We found no reduced production of chironomids at neither family, nor subfamily level in Bti-treated as compared to untreated wetlands. We conclude that other factors than the occasional Bti-treatments dominate in structuring the chironomids fauna. For example, hydrology measured as floods and hydroperiod had substantial impact on insect emergence Increased hydroperiod was associated with lower insect emergence for the majority of the studied taxa, indicating an insect fauna adapted more to terrestrial conditions. In the final study, we developed and applied a molecular method to study interspecific predator – prey relationships between medium-sized diving beetles and floodwater mosquito larvae. Gut content analyses showed that floodwater mosquito larvae are a regular, but limited, part of the diet of medium-sized diving beetles. This thesis is one of the first long-term studies of insects of temporary wetlands in relation to mosquito control actions. The results indicate that hydrology is one of the major factors influencing and structuring the insect communities of the temporary flooded wetlands in the River Dalälven floodplains, and that mosquito control actions with Bti only have marginal effect on insect abundances.

Abstract:
A great number of studies have documented that there is a clear increasing trend in the global average temperature during the last century. Based on the scenario of business-as-usual, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change projected that the global surface average temperature will exceed 4 °C by the end of 2100 compared to that in 1850-1890. Climate change has been regarded as the biggest global-health threat of the 21st century. Epidemiological studies have showed significant impacts of weather variation associated with climate change on population health, including transmission pattern of some infectious diseases, and most importantly suspected impacts geographical expansion and emergence and re-emergence of mosquito-borne diseases, such as dengue fever, malaria and Japanese encephalitis, which has posed great health burden to Chinese population in its history. Mosquito-borne diseases are extremely sensitive to the weather variation, such as temperature, rainfall, humidity, etc. In China, although the impact of climate variation on important mosquito-borne diseases, such as dengue fever and malaria, has been investigated in many countries, there are only a few studies conducted in China. Chinese people may suffer greater adverse impacts from climate change due to a higher population density, relatively crowded living conditions, and poor socio-economic status. A series of individual but interrelated studies were carried out for this dissertation. The overall objective was to provide a comprehensive analysis of potential impacts of weather variability on the dynamics of mosquitoes and transmission pattern of major mosquito-borne diseases in the context of climate change.

Abstract:
O mosquito Aedes aegypti é o principal vetor das doenças Zika, Dengue, Chicungunha e Febre Amarela. Este artigo descreve a pesquisa em simulação computacional sobre o comportamento deste mosquito e sobre a eficácia de armadilhas em um certo cenário geográfico predefinido. A simulação computacional modela três aspectos fundamentais: (i) a reprodução dos mosquitos em focos, (ii) o crescimento da população de mosquitos, e (iii) o combate do vetor através de armadilhas. O objetivo principal desta simulação é a verificação dos locais mais adequados para a implantação de armadilhas com o propósito de combater os mosquitos, diminuindo as possibilidades de uma epidemia. Como resultado do trabalho foi desenvolvida uma ferramenta que contribui para o planejamento do combate ao vetor, melhorando a eficácia das ações de prevenção.

Abstract:
The detection of Aedes aegypti mosquito is essential in the prevention process of serious diseases such as dengue, yellow fever, chikungunya, and Zika virus. Common approaches consist of surveillance agents who need to enter residences to find and eliminate these outbreaks, but often they are unable to do this work due to the absence or resistance of the resident. This paper proposes an automatic system that uses aerial images obtained through a camera coupled from an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) to identify rain gutters from a shed that may be mosquitoes’ foci. We use Digital Image Processing (DIP) techniques to differentiate the objects that may or may not be those foci of the mosquito-breeding. The experimental results show that the system is capable of automatically detecting the appropriately mosquito-breeding location.

Abstract:
Introdução: O mosquito Aedes aegypti é o principal vetor das arboviroses dengue, chikungunya, Zika e febre amarela. Para que ocorra a produção e a maturação de ovos, as fêmeas do mosquito realizam o repasto sanguíneo, quando ocorre a infecção e transmissão viral. A melhor maneira de evitar a propagação destas doenças é através do controle vetorial. Inseticidas químicos são utilizados no controle, entretanto, ao longo do tempo, os mosquitos adquirem resistência a esses compostos. Neste contexto, o RNA de interferência (RNAi) tem sido uma grande alternativa para o controle. Os genes de quitina sintase (CHSA e CHSB) são considerados excelentes alvos de silenciamento, pois, não são transcritos em vertebrados e plantas. Objetivos: Analisar os efeitos do silenciamento dos genes CHSA e CHSB na oviposição dos mosquitos tratados com dsRNACHS em baixas concentrações. Materiaisemétodos: A produção de dsRNA foi feita in vivo através da transformação de Escherichia coli, cepa HT115 com o plasmídeo L4440, contendo o inserto para a região do sítio catalítico de CHSA e CHSB e GFP (gene não-relacionado para mosquitos), usado como controle. Estas culturas foram lisadas com clorexidina 0,5%. O experimento foi feito em triplicata biológica, utilizando 10 larvas de 4° instar por grupo em 2 mL de água. Foi utilizado, em ambas condições, a concentração 2x10-5 µg/mL de células contendo dsRNACHS ou dsRNAGFP. Os mosquitos adultos sobreviventes foram alimentados com sangue de aves para testar a capacidade de oviposição e a viabilidade dos ovos postos. Resultados: As fêmeas adultas oriundas das larvas tratadas com dsRNACHS tiveram menor postura de ovos, e estes apresentaram fenótipo de ressecamento e deformidades, acarretando baixa eclosão, quando comparados com o controle. Conclusões: Concluímos que o dsRNACHS administrado afeta a produção e a qualidade dos ovos das fêmeas de Ae. aegypti, sendo uma boa estratégia de controle para este inseto.
