The species names are never abbreviated in the main titles and the names of genera are written in full at the beginning of the sentences. The abbreviations for genera and subgenera of Culicidae (Diptera) were performed according to the recommendations of Reinert (2001). The abreviations of the genera are as follows: Anopheles Meigen, 1818 = An. Aedes Meigen, 1818 = Ae. Culex Linnaeus, 1758 = Cx. Culiseta Felt, 1904 = Cs. Ochlerotatus Lynch-Arribálzaga, 1891 = Oc. The abbreviation of the genera of sandfly vectors and some important pathogens are as follows: Dirofilaria Railliet & Henry, 1911 = D. Leishmania Borovsky, 1898 (Ross, 1903) = L. Phlebotomus Loew, 1845 = Ph. Plasmodium Marchiafava & Celli, 1885 = P. 3 TABLE OF CONTENTS ABBREVIATIONS ........................................................................................................................ 3 TABLE OF CONTENTS ............................................................................................................... 4 CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE RESEARCH ........................................................................................ 7 ABSTRACT IN ENGLISH ............................................................................................................. 8 KIVONAT MAGYARUL .............................................................................................................. 10 RESUMEN EN ESPAÑOL ........................................................................................................... 12 MOTTO ................................................................................................................................... 15 CHAPTER I: REVIEW OF THE TOPIC OF DIPTERA VECTORS AND THE TRANSMITTED DISEASES ................................................................................................................................. 16 1.

Much of this information has been published in short papers in various journals and is not readily available to those who need a comprehensive treatise on this subject ; some of the material has not been published before. The information l)r()UKlit together here will serve as a guide for individuals and communities that have an interest and responsibility in mosquito problems in Alaska. In addition, the military services will have considerable use for this publication at their various installations in Alaska.

Stjepan Krčmar U ovom radu je istražen kvalitativni sastav entomof aune na četiri močvarna staništa od me đunarodnog značenja u Republici Hrvatskoj. To su Park prirode Kopački rit, Park prirode Lonjsko polje, Delta rijeke Neretve i Crna Mlaka. Glavni cilj specijalističkog rada je objediniti sve objavljene i neobjavljene podatke o nalazima vrsta kukaca na ova četiri močvarna staništa te kvalitativno usporediti entomofau nu pomoću Sörensonovog indexa faunističke sličnosti. Na području Parka prirode Kopački rit utvrđeno je ukupno 866 vrsta kukaca razvrstanih u 84 porodice i 513 rodova. Na području Parka prirode Lonjsko polje utvrđeno je 513 vrsta kukaca razvrstanih u 24 porodice i 89 rodova. Na području delte rijeke Neretve utvrđeno je ukupno 348 vrsta kukaca razvrstanih u 89 porodica i 227 rodova. Za područje Crne Mlake nije bilo dostupne literature o nalazima kukaca. Velika vrijednost Sörensonovog indexa od 80,85% ukazuje na veliku faunističku sličnost između faune obada Kopačkoga rita i Lonjskoga polja. Najmanja sličnost u fauni obada utvrđena je između močvarnih staništa Lonjskog polja i delte rijeke Neretve, a iznosi 41,37%.

Abstnet The male, female, larva and pupa of Culex (Neoculex) europaeus, sp. novo are described on the basis of the examination of material from Portugal and comparison with reared specimens of Culex (Neoculex) territans from North Carolina, USA. The recognition of the new taxon is discussed and diagnostic identitication keys to the male and female genitalia and pupa are provided. Introduction Culex te"itans Walker was described from the "United States" (Walker, 1856), but the type locality was restricted later to Charlestoo (Charleston County), South Carolina, by Belkin et al. (1966). Furthermore, Belkin (1%8) was mable to locate the type specimen of Cx. te"itans and consida'ed it "presmnably lost" and non-extent. Sirivanakam (1971) considered Cx. te"itans the most widely spread member of the subgenus Neoculex Dyar, since it occurs in both the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. In North America, ex. te"itans has a very wide distribution to include parts of Alaska and Canada, and most of the contiguous United States except for several southwestern states (Darsie & Ward, 1981).

ZOOS AS EXPERIMENT ENVIRONMENTS: BIOLOGY OF LARVAL AND ADULT MOSQUITOES (DIPTERA: CULICIDAE) A Dissertation Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Entomology by Holly Coleen Tuten August 2011 Accepted by: Peter H. Adler, Committee Chair William C. Bridges, First Reader Kimberly S. Paul, Second Reader William Wills, Third Reader ABSTRACT Zoos are a unique environment where humans and animals are in close daily contact, potential mosquito habitats exist, exotic plants and animals are introduced regularly, and wild animals roam. Studies of mosquito behaviors in zoos will lead to a better understanding, both within and outside zoos, of disease transmission routes and mosquito biology. To investigate whether the unique assemblage of habitats in zoos affects mosquito behavior, I sampled larvae and adults in the Greenville Zoo and the Riverbanks Zoo, South Carolina, USA, from March 2008 to January 2011. The objectives of my study were to investigate mosquito oviposition behavior, blood-host usage, and transmission of the causative agent of dog heartworm (Dirofilaria immitis); document the structure of the mosquito pyloric armature; and provide zoos with suggestions for mosquito control.
