Mosquitoes of 64 species were found belonging to 23 subgenera and 14 genera, Aedeomyia, Aedes, Anopheles, Armigeres, Coquitlettidia, Culex, Ficalbia,- Malaya, Maisonia, Mi- momyia, Ochlerotatus, Toxorhynchites, {lranotaenia, and Verrallina.

  • Wolbachia Infection in Wild Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae
    Ding et al. Parasites Vectors (2020) 13:612 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13071-020-04466-8 Parasites & Vectors RESEARCH Open Access Wolbachia infection in wild mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae): implications for transmission modes and host-endosymbiont associations in Singapore Huicong Ding†, Huiqing Yeo† and Nalini Puniamoorthy* Abstract Background: Wolbachia are intracellular bacterial endosymbionts found in most insect lineages. In mosquitoes, the infuence of these endosymbionts on host reproduction and arboviral transmission has spurred numerous stud- ies aimed at using Wolbachia infection as a vector control technique. However, there are several knowledge gaps in the literature and little is known about natural Wolbachia infection across species, their transmission modes, or associations between various Wolbachia lineages and their hosts. This study aims to address these gaps by exploring mosquito-Wolbachia associations and their evolutionary implications. Methods: We conducted tissue-specifc polymerase chain reaction screening for Wolbachia infection in the leg, gut and reproductive tissues of wild mosquitoes from Singapore using the Wolbachia surface protein gene (wsp) molecu- lar marker. Mosquito-Wolbachia associations were explored using three methods—tanglegram, distance-based, and event-based methods—and by inferred instances of vertical transmission and host shifts. Results: Adult mosquitoes (271 specimens) representing 14 genera and 40 species were screened for Wolbachia. Overall, 21 species (51.2%) were found positive for Wolbachia, including fve in the genus Aedes and fve in the genus Culex. To our knowledge, Wolbachia infections have not been previously reported in seven of these 21 species: Aedes nr. fumidus, Aedes annandalei, Uranotaenia obscura, Uranotaenia trilineata, Verrallina butleri, Verrallina sp. and Zeugno- myia gracilis.

  • Molecular (Sub)Grouping of Endosymbiont Wolbachia Infection Among Mosquitoes of Taiwan
    MOLECULAR BIOLOGY/GENOMICS Molecular (Sub)Grouping of Endosymbiont Wolbachia Infection Among Mosquitoes of Taiwan 1 2 1 1 3 KUN-HSIEN TSAI, JIH-CHING LIEN, CHIN-GI HUANG, WEN-JER WU, AND WEI-JUNE CHEN J. Med. Entomol. 41(4): 677Ð683 (2004) ABSTRACT Wolbachia are maternally inherited bacteria that infect a wide range of arthropods as well as Þlarial worms. The infection usually results in reproductive distortions of the host, primarily cytoplasmic incompatibility, parthenogenesis, and feminization. This study showed that Wolbachia infection (15/29; 51.72%) was prevalent among Þeld-caught mosquitoes in Taiwan. Three mosquito species were identiÞed as having Wolbachia A infection, eight species as having Wolbachia B, and four other species were dually infected by both groups. Each Wolbachia isolate from different mosquitoes was further divided into a speciÞc subgroup. However, there were still some isolates that did not belong to any known subgroup, suggesting that more subgroups remain to be identiÞed. Investigation of tissue tropism in either Aedes albopictus (Skuse) or Armigeres subalbatus (Coquillett) revealed that Wol- bachia were extensively distributed within the host, although the ovary was most susceptible to infection. This report provides preliminary features of molecular relationships among Wolbachia groups of mosquitoes from Taiwan.

    ILLUSTRATED KEYS TO THE GENERA OF MOSQUITOES1 BY Peter F. Mattingly 2 INTRODUCTION The suprageneric and generic classification adopted here follow closely the Synoptic Catalog of the Mosquitoes of the World (Stone et al. , 1959) and the various supplements (Stone, 1961, 1963, 1967,’ 1970). Changes in generic no- menclature arising from the publication of the Catalog include the substitution of Mansonia for Taeniorhynchus and Culiseta for Theobaldiu, bringing New and Old World practice into line, the substitution of Toxorhynchites for Megarhinus and MaZaya for Harpagomyia, the suppression of the diaeresis in Aties, A&deomyia (formerly Atiomyia) and Paraties (Christophers, 1960b) and the inclusion of the last named as a subgenus of Aedes (Mattingly, 1958). The only new generic name to appear since the publication of the Catalog is Galindomyiu (Stone & Barreto, 1969). Mimomyia, previously treated as a subgenus of Ficalbia, is here treated, in combination with subgenera Etorleptiomyia and Rauenulites, as a separate genus. Ronderos & Bachmann (1963a) proposed to treat Mansonia and Coquillettidia as separate genera and they have been fol- lowed by Stone (1967, 1970) and others. I cannot accept this and they are here retained in the single genus Mansonia. It will be seen that the treatment adopted here, as always with mosquitoes since the early days, is conservative. Inevitably, therefore, dif- fictiIties arise in connection with occasional aberrant species. In order to avoid split, or unduly prolix, couplets I have preferred, in nearly every case, to deal with these in the Notes to the Keys. The latter are consequently to be regarded as very much a part of the keys themselves and should be constantly borne in mind.

These freshwater macroinvertebrates are predators and parasites of the equally diverse nematocerous Dipterans, such as mosquitoes, and water mites are believed to have diversified as a result of these predatory and parasitic relationships. Through these two major biotic interactions, water mites have been found to greatly impact a variety of mosquito species. Although these predatory and parasitic interactions are important in aquatic ecology, very little is known about the diversity of water mites that interact with mosquitoes. In this paper, we review and update the past literature on the predatory and parasitic mite–mosquito relationships, update past records, discuss the biogeographic range of these interactions, and add our own recent findings on this topic conducted in habitats around the Laurentian Great Lakes.
