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 breed

Abstract:

This research examined equine management practices that limit or contribute to the spread of West Nile virus and other mosquito-bome disease. I hypothesize that there is a relationship between equine management practices and outbreaks of mosquito-borne disease in horse populations. Improved and appropriate mosquito habitat management may limit the risk of mosquito-borne disease in humans and horses by helping to lower the mosquito populations. The study goals were to recognize equine management practices and mosquito prevention practices that foster outbreaks of mosquito-borne disease. This st

Abstract:

Chaoborus americanus larvae were used in laboratory experiments to assess their efficiency at decreasing mosquito larval populations. Third and fourth instar Chaoborus americanus larvae were independently fed assemblages of single prey species to test hunger and several prey species to test preference. Prey species included Daphnia and the four Aedes aegypti larval instars. The results show that Chaoborus americanus larvae will choose early instar mosquito larvae over Daphnia, however, this preference decreases as the mosquito larvae become older. Third instar Chaoborus americanus larvae will

Abstract:

The escalation of Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs) mass distribution marked the beginning of a period of malaria decline in sub-Saharan Africa. However, the emergence and spread of insecticide resistance in malaria mosquitoes is a threat to the effectiveness and sustainability of this vector control method. In this context, it is necessary to design and evaluate new compounds and methods that attenuate or even reverse the insecticide resistance trend. Olyset Duo is a novel LLIN that combines the insecticide properties of permethrin and the chemosterilising effect of pyriproxyfen (PPF). T

Avian malaria (Plasmodium spp.) is a popular model system to study the ecology and evolution of parasite-host-vector interactions in the wild. These studies have historically focused mostly on the avian hosts and the malaria parasites. Knowledge regarding the role of vectors is essential to our understanding of these wild systems, but has only very recently started to accumulate. This thesis aimed to contribute to this field by assessing mosquito-malaria-host associations for British mosquitoes and the role of mosquito ecology in shaping these parasite systems in a British woodland study site,

The disease vectors Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus are serious and growing threats to global health. As vectors of the arboviruses dengue fever and chikungunya, these mosquitoes are responsible for hundreds of millions of cases and thousands of deaths each year. Absent specific treatments or vaccines, effective control of mosquito populations remains the only option for tackling a growing public health challenge. More effective control tools are urgently needed. Recently, a novel approach to pest population control has been developed based on the release of insects carrying a repressible,

Mosquitoes are vectors for many diseases that cause significant mortality and morbidity across the globe such as malaria, dengue fever and Zika.

With new technology, creating target specific gene modification may now be a viable method for mosquito population control.

Abstract:

Over the last decade, the malaria burden has reduced drastically across many parts of sub-Saharan Africa. This is mainly due to effective implementation of integrated malaria control programmes that include large scale application of vector control in the form of long-lasting insecticidal nest (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS), both of which target the most efficient human-seeking malaria vector species. However, in spite of these efforts, malaria has yet to be eliminated from most of Africa. However, recent increases in the physiological resistance of vector populations, especially t

Generally, Wolbachia infections are benign and do not inflict significant costs upon its host. However, studies demonstrate that some infections are associated with

The development of behavioural resistance in Anopheles mosquitoes is an important threat to the sustainability of current vector interventions, which selectively target mosquitoes that are found indoors. Changes in the following behaviour have been reported in several Anopheles vectors: biting time, host preference, biting and resting behaviour. However, a critical review of the published literature reveals that behavioural resistance has not been demonstrated clearly in Anopheles, highlighting important limitations in using entomological data to investigate the evolution of behaviour.

Introdução: Parques inseridos na malha urbana de grandes metrópoles possuem potencial para manter o ciclo biológico de diversas espécies vetoras de patógenos, como as espécies Culex quinquefasciatus e Culex nigripalpus. Consideradas antropofílicas, essas espécies têm importância epidemiológica e são abundantemente encontradas na cidade de São Paulo. Porém, pouco se sabe sobre as características genéticas dessas espécies em escala microgeográfica. Visando o melhor entendimento sobre a estrutura populacional dessas espécies, foi analisado os padrões da forma alar e a caracterização genética por

Abstract:

Mosquito-borne arboviruses are of considerable public health importance as they cause some of the most important emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases affecting humans and animals in many parts of the world including southern Africa. The threat of large epidemics of mosquito-borne arboviruses are often associated with climatic conditions, global warming, animal migrations, surface water, wind, topography, harbourage, vegetation, food supply and abundance of competent mosquito vectors. The goal of this project is to provide an in depth understanding of mosquito community dynamics and the

Abstract:

O mosquito Aedes aegypti é reconhecido como o principal vetor do vírus da Dengue, além de transmitir outros arbovírus de importância médica, como os causadores da Febre Amarela urbana, Chikungunya e Zika. A ecologia deste vetor está intimamente associada ao homem, sendo provavelmente, a única espécie de culicídeo a conseguir completar todo seu ciclo de vida dentro das habitações humanas, com sua dinâmica populacional fortemente relacionada aos processos decorrente da urbanização. Assim como outras metrópoles, a cidade de São Paulo apresenta estresse ambiental, em função da elevada densidade po

Abstract:

Les écosystèmes marins qui fournissent de multiples services écosystémiques indispensables au bien-être de l’humanité sont actuellement menacés par la surexploitation des ressources et l’utilisation d’engins destructifs. Ceci conduit à une perte à l’échelle globale de 20% des mangroves, 19% des récifs coralliens et 110 km2 par an des herbiers. Les habitats côtiers qui soutiennent jusqu’à 20% de la production globale de la pêche sont les plus touchés, notamment dans les pays les moins avancés comme Madagascar. Dans ce pays, 87% des écosystèmes récifaux sont menacés, notamment dans le sud-ouest

Abstract:

<p>New and old mosquito-borne diseases have emerged and re-emerged in temperate regions over the recent past, but an understanding of mosquito population dynamics, a fundamental step toward disease control, remains elusive. In particular, we are still lacking reliable predictive models of mosquito abundance in temperate areas due to the subtle links between the fluctuation of mosquito population and highly heterogeneous environmental drivers. Hence, this doctoral dissertation presents an interdisciplinary approach towards an improved understanding and prediction of the fluctuations in mosquito

Abstract:

In 2002, West Nile virus was isolated for the first time in Harris County, Texas. The subsequent epidemic led the Harris County Mosquito Control Division to initiate an extensive spraying operation to suppress infected adult mosquitoes. The control program was aimed at the predominate disease-carrying mosquito for the southern United States, Culex quinquefasciatus Say. With the increase of insecticide pressure on the mosquito populations, the possibility of resistance was brought into question. A three year study using a vial bioassay test was conducted in Harris (2004-2005) and Brazos (2005-2
