  • Importance of Mosquitoes
    IMPORTANCE OF MOSQUITOES Portions of this chapter were obtained from the University of Florida and the American Mosquito Control Association Public Health Pest Control website at http://vector.ifas.ufl.edu. Introduction to Pests and Public Health: Arthropods are the most successful group of animals on Earth. They thrive in every habitat and in all regions of the world. A small number of species from this phylum have a great impact on humans, affecting us not only by damaging agriculture and horticultural crops but also through the diseases they can transmit to humans and our domestic animals. Insects can transmit disease (vectors), cause wounds, inject venom, or create nuisance, and have serious social and economic consequences. Arthropods can be indirect (mechanical carriers) or direct (biological carriers) transmitters of disease. As indirect agents they serve as simple mechanical carriers of various bacteria and fungi which may cause disease. As direct or biological agents they serve as vectors for disease­causing agents that require the insect as part of the life cycle. In considering transmission of disease­ causing organisms, it is important to understand the relationships among the vector (the disease­ transmitting organism, i.e. an insect), the disease pathogen (for example, a virus) and the host (humans or animals). The pathogen may or may not undergo different life stages while in the vector. Pathogens that undergo changes in life stages within the vector before being transmitted to a host require the vector—without the vector, the disease life cycle would be broken and the pathogen would die. In either case, the vector is the means for the pathogen to pass from one host to another.

SGMA seeks to achieve sustainability, which is defined as the absence of several undesirable results, including “depletions of interconnected surface water that have significant and unreasonable adverse impacts on beneficial users of surface water” (Water Code §10721). The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is a science-based, nonprofit organization with a mission to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends. Like humans, plants and animals often rely on groundwater for survival, which is why TNC helped develop, and is now helping to implement, SGMA. Earlier this year, we launched the Groundwater Resource Hub, which is an online resource intended to help make it easier and cheaper to address environmental requirements under SGMA. As a first step in addressing when depletions might have an adverse impact, The Nature Conservancy recommends identifying the beneficial users of surface water, which include environmental users. This is a critical step, as it is impossible to define “significant and unreasonable adverse impacts” without knowing what is being impacted. To make this easy, we are providing this letter and the accompanying documents as the best available science on the freshwater species within the boundary of your groundwater sustainability agency (GSA).

  • 2020 Annual Report
    Annual Report 2020 Solano County Mosquito Abatement District Letter from the District Manager On behalf of the Board of Trustees and the Staff of the Solano County Mosquito Abatement District it is my pleasure to present to you the 2020 annual report. 2020 proved to be a challenging year due to the Covid 19 virus spreading throughout the entire globe. Mosquito and Vector Control Districts were deemed “essential services”. The SCMAD navigated through the Covid 19 laws and regulations, adjusting work spaces and work hours to keep staff safe. District staff was able to fulfill the district’s mission “to control all mosquitoes that may bring disease or harassment to humans and domestic animals”. With safety protocols in place, we were able to respond to requests for service from the public without interruption, as well as check and treat known mosquito breeding sources at routine intervals. The SCMAD Board of Trustees and staff are committed to suppressing both disease carrying and nuisance mosquitoes with the most ecological and cost-effective methods available. I want to thank the SCMAD Trustees and staff for their continued dedication to mosquito control, making Solano County a healthier place where its citizens and visitors can live, work and visit. We look forward to providing our services to you and if you have any questions or need more information, please contact me. Respectfully, Richard Snyder District Manager Solano County Mosquito Abatement District 707-437-1116 Table of Contents Independent Special Districts 1 2020 Board of Trustees

  • The Influence of Male Diet on Life History Traits of Female Mosquitoes
    The Influence of Male Diet on Life History Traits of Female Mosquitoes by Benyam Abraham, B.Sc A thesis submitted to Department of Biological Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science August 2013 Brock University St. Catharines, ON L2S 3A1 Canada © Benyam Abraham 2013 ii Abstract In the field, mosquitoes characteristically feed on sugars soon after emergence and intermittently during their adult lives. Sugar meals are commonly derived from plant nectar and homopteran honeydew, and without them, adults can only survive for a few days on larval reserves. In addition to sugar, females of most species rely on blood for the initiation and maintenance of egg development; thus their reproductive success depends to some extent on the availability of blood hosts. Males, on the other hand, feed exclusively on sugars. Consequently, their sexual maturation and reproductive success is largely dependent upon access to sugar sources. Plant nectar and homopteran honeydew are the two main sugar sources utilized by mosquitoes in the wild. Previous laboratory studies had shown that differences between nectar sources can affect the survivorship and biting frequency of disease vectoring mosquitoes. However, little is known on how sugar composition influence the reproductive processes in male mosquitoes. Male mosquitoes transfer accessory gland proteins and other hormones to their mates along with sperm during mating. In the female, these seminal fluid constituents exert their influence on reproductive genes that control ovulation and vitellogenesis. The present study tests the hypothesis that the mates of males consuming different sugar meals will exhibit varying levels of induction of vitellogenin (a gene which regulates the expression of egg yolk precursor proteins).

  • Diversity of Mosquitoes and the Aquatic Insects Associated with Their
    Bond et al. Parasites & Vectors 2014, 7:41 http://www.parasitesandvectors.com/content/7/1/41 RESEARCH Open Access Diversity of mosquitoes and the aquatic insects associated with their oviposition sites along the Pacific coast of Mexico J Guillermo Bond1, Mauricio Casas-Martínez1, Humberto Quiroz-Martínez2, Rodolfo Novelo-Gutiérrez3, Carlos F Marina1, Armando Ulloa1, Arnoldo Orozco-Bonilla1, Miguel Muñoz1 and Trevor Williams3* Abstract Background: The abundance, richness and diversity of mosquitoes and aquatic insects associated with their oviposition sites were surveyed along eight states of the Pacific coast of Mexico. Diversity was estimated using the Shannon index (H’), similarity measures and cluster analysis. Methods: Oviposition sites were sampled during 2–3 months per year, over a three year period. Field collected larvae and pupae were reared and identified to species following adult emergence. Aquatic insects present at oviposition sites were also collected, counted and identified to species or genus. Results: In total, 15 genera and 74 species of mosquitoes were identified: Anopheles pseudopunctipennis, An. albimanus and Aedes aegypti were the most abundant and widely-distributed species, representing 47% of total mosquito individuals sampled. New species records for certain states are reported. Anopheline diversity was lowest in Sinaloa state (H’ = 0.54) and highest in Chiapas (H’ = 1.61) and Michoacán (H’ = 1.56), whereas culicid diversity was lowest in Michoacán (H’ = 1.93), Colima (H’ = 1.95), Sinaloa (H’ = 1.99) and Jalisco (H’ = 2.01) and highest in Chiapas (H’ = 2.66). In total, 10 orders, 57 families, 166 genera and 247 species of aquatic insects were identified in samples.
