At the same time, growing concerns about declines of pollinator species raise the question of whether vector control practices might affect pollinator populations. We report the results of a task force of the North American Pollinator Protection Campaign (NAPPC) that examined potential effects of vector management practices on pollinators, and how these pro- grams could be adjusted to minimize negative effects on pollinating species. The main types of vector control practices that might affect pollinators are landscape manipulation, biocontrol, and pesticide applications. Some current practices already minimize effects of vector control on pollinators (e.g., short-lived pesticides and application-targeting technologies). Nontarget effects can be further diminished by taking pollinator protection into account in the planning stages of vector management programs.

    BUG BITES & STINGS Emily Coluccio, PA-S OUCH! ● Insect bites & stings can be mild, but they also have the ability to transmit insect-borne illnesses and cause severe allergic reactions ● Bites vs. Stings ○ Bites consist of punctures made by the mouthparts of the organism ○ Stings involve the injection of venom and may cause reactions ranging from local irritation to life-threatening allergic reactions ● Lesions from arthropod bites (mosquitoes, ticks, kissing bugs, bed bugs, black flies, etc.) usually result from the host's immune reactions to the insect’s salivary secretions or venom TYPES OF REACTIONS LOCAL REACTIONS ● Normal reaction to an insect bite is an inflammatory reaction at the site, appearing within minutes, and usually involves pruritic erythema and edema ● Treatment ○ Wash with soap and water ○ Ice or cold packs may help with swelling ○ Topical creams, gels, and lotions (Calamine or Pramoxine) may help with itching ○ Oral antihistamines (Cetirizine or Fexofenadine) preferred in small children to help with troublesome itching PAPULAR URTICARIA ● Hypersensitivity disorder in which insect bites (most commonly fleas, mosquitoes, or bed bugs) lead to recurrent and sometimes chrony itchy papules on exposed areas of skin ● Reported predominantly in young children (typically 2-10 years old) ○ Diaper area, genital, perianal, and axillary areas are spared PAPULAR URTICARIA ● There may be a delay between the inciting bite and the onset of lesions, and new lesions may appear sporadically ● Renewed itching may reactivate older lesions,

  • Mosquitoes Are Small Flies That Are Known for Drinking Blood. Some Species Are Both a Nuisance and a Public Threat to People but Others Do Not Bother Humans at All
    Introduction to mosquitoes and mosquito-borne pathogens Mosquito: Mosquitoes are small flies that are known for drinking blood. Some species are both a nuisance and a public threat to people but others do not bother humans at all. Types: There are dozens of different kinds of mosquitoes in the U.S. alone. Many of them do not bite people and pose little to no threat to us in any way. Others will feed off of humans and in doing so can transmit various pathogens that can make people very sick. Invasive mosquitoes: Invasive mosquitoes are not native to a region and, when introduced, spread rapidly. They can be extremely detrimental to native species--one example being Hawaii’s invasive mosquitoes. Hawaii had no native species of mosquitoes and they were not introduced until Europeans brought them in the 1800s. After the introduction of mosquitoes, several native birds started to perish and went extinct because of mosquito-borne avian malaria. Some species survived simply because they lived too high on the mountains and mosquitoes could not survive the cooler temperatures. When mosquitoes are introduced to an area, they may be carriers of parasites or viruses not transmitted in the area which may result in a decline in native animal populations. Aedes: This egg collection project is focusing on Aedes mosquitoes. Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus are of particular interest since they are vectors of chikungunya, dengue fever, and yellow fever viruses and are two of the most invasive mosquito species in the United States. Originally from Africa and Asia, these mosquitoes are used to warm weather but are slowly acclimating themselves to more moderate and cool regions.

Antitick plants and related ethnoknowledge/ethnopractices with potential for integrated tick control and management strategies to improve livestock production are reviewed. About 231 plants reviewed showed a variety of bioactive properties, namely, being toxic, repellent, antifeedant, and antiovipositant and ability to immobilize target tick species. These ethnobotanical substances are potentially useful in developing sustainable, efficient, and effective antitick agents suitable for rural livestock farmers.

Received: 1 April 2020; Accepted: 29 April 2020; Published: 30 April 2020 Abstract: For the development of sustainable control of tick-borne diseases, insight is needed in biological factors that affect tick populations. Here, the ecological interactions among Ixodiphagus hookeri, Ixodes ricinus, and two vertebrate species groups were investigated in relation to their effects on tick-borne disease risk. In 1129 questing ticks, I. hookeri DNA was detected more often in I. ricinus nymphs (4.4%) than in larvae (0.5%) and not in adults. Therefore, we determined the infestation rate of I. hookeri in nymphs from 19 forest sites, where vertebrate, tick, and tick-borne pathogen communities had been previously quantified. We found higher than expected co-occurrence rates of I.

MORSY2 Military Medical Academy1, Cairo 11291 and Department of Parasitology, Faculty of Medicine, Ain Shams University2, Cairo 11566, Egypt Abstract Skeeter Syndrome is an allergy to mosquito saliva secreted while taken a human blood meal. It is present with extreme swelling, itching, blistering, infection, fever and general malaise, some cases develop asthma and cellulitis and even threatening anaphylactic shock. Most people of all ages particularly small children, toddlers and seniors who suffer from skeeter syndrome experi- ence a very extreme reaction showed some allergic reaction level, with itching and redness. Sometimes, the swelling is painful and so extreme that the affected limb doubles in size, eyes swell shut, and the area feels hot and hard to the touch or the bite will blister and ooze.
