RESEARCH ARTICLE Data-driven identification of potential Zika virus vectors Michelle V Evans1,2*, Tad A Dallas1,3, Barbara A Han4, Courtney C Murdock1,2,5,6,7,8, John M Drake1,2,8 1Odum School of Ecology, University of Georgia, Athens, United States; 2Center for the Ecology of Infectious Diseases, University of Georgia, Athens, United States; 3Department of Environmental Science and Policy, University of California-Davis, Davis, United States; 4Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, Millbrook, United States; 5Department of Infectious Disease, University of Georgia, Athens, United States; 6Center for Tropical Emerging Global Diseases, University of Georgia, Athens, United States; 7Center for Vaccines and Immunology, University of Georgia, Athens, United States; 8River Basin Center, University of Georgia, Athens, United States Abstract Zika is an emerging virus whose rapid spread is of great public health concern. Knowledge about transmission remains incomplete, especially concerning potential transmission in geographic areas in which it has not yet been introduced. To identify unknown vectors of Zika, we developed a data-driven model linking vector species and the Zika virus via vector-virus trait combinations that confer a propensity toward associations in an ecological network connecting flaviviruses and their mosquito vectors. Our model predicts that thirty-five species may be able to transmit the virus, seven of which are found in the continental United States, including Culex quinquefasciatus and Cx. pipiens. We suggest that empirical studies prioritize these species to confirm predictions of vector competence, enabling the correct identification of populations at risk for transmission within the United States. *For correspondence: mvevans@ DOI: 10.7554/eLife.22053.001 uga.edu Competing interests: The authors declare that no competing interests exist. -

Mosquito Systematics Vol. 18(2) 1986 199 Biography of Elizabeth Nesta Marks Elizabeth Marks was born in Dublin, Ireland, on 28th April 1918 and was christened in St. Patrick's Cathedral (with which a parson ancestor had been associated), hence her nick-name Patricia or Pat. Her father, an engineering graduate of Trinity College, Dublin, had worked as a geologist in Queensland before returning to Dublin to complete his medical course. In 1920 her parents took her to their home town, Brisbane, where her father practiced as an eye specialist. Although an only child, she grew up in a closely knit family of uncles, aunts and cousins. Her grandfather retired in 1920 in Camp Mountain near Samford, 14 miles west of Brisbane, to a property known as "the farm" though most of it was under natural forest. She early developed a love of and interest in the bush. Saturday afternoons often involved outings with the Queensland Naturalists' Club (QNC), Easters were spent at QNC camps, Sundays and long holidays at the farm. Her mother was a keen horsewoman and Pat was given her first pony when she was five. She saved up five pounds to buy her second pony, whose sixth generation descendant is her present mount. In 1971 she inherited part of the farm, with an old holiday house, and has lived there since 1982. Primary schooling at St. John's Cathedral Day School, close to home, was followed by four years boarding at the Glennie Memorial School, Toowoomba, of which she was Dux in 1934. It was there that her interest in zoology began to crystallize. -

Contributions to the Mosquito Fauna of Southeast Asia II
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. -
Florida Mosquito Control White Paper 2018
FLORIDA MOSQUITO CONTROL 2018 The state of the mission as defined by mosquito controllers, regulators, and environmental managers Florida Coordinating Council on Mosquito Control This report was funded in part by grants from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the Florida Department of Health, and the Florida Mosquito Control Association. The report was initiated, reviewed, and accepted by the Florida Coordinating Council on Mosquito Control (FCCMC). The FCCMC was created and mandated by the Legislature in Chapter 388 Florida Statues in 1986 to develop and implement guidelines to assist the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) in resolving disputes arising over the control of arthropods on publicly owned lands, to identify and recommend research priorities and technologies, to develop and recommend to FDACS a request for proposal process for arthropod control research, to identify potential funding sources for research and implementation projects, and to evaluate and rank proposals upon request by the funding source. A final mandate is to prepare and present reports, such as this one, on arthropod control activities in the state to appropriate agencies. To oversee the development of the report, the FCCMC appointed a Steering Committee that selected contributors and reviewers for this publication. This publication is a public document that can be used for educational purposes. Cover Illustration: The artwork on the cover was designed and hand drawn by Lee “Leroy” Hansen of New Port Richey, Florida. Mr. Hansen captured a beautiful natural Florida swamp that mosquito control professionals across the state would inspect for mosquito larvae and adults.

MOSQUITO PATHOGENIC VIRUSES-THE LAST 20 YEARS James J
Copyright © 2007 by The American Mosquito Control Association, Inc. M 4229 MOSQUITO PATHOGENIC VIRUSES-THE LAST 20 YEARS James J. Becnel and Susan E. White USDA/ARS, 1600 S.W. 23rd Drive, Gainesville, FL 32608 KEY WORDS Baculovirus, nucleopolyhedrovirus, cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus, cypovirus, densovirus, brevidensovirus, iridovirus, diagnosis, pathology, transmission ABSTRACT. There are several types of viral pathogens that cause disease in mosquitoes with most belonging to 4 major groups. The most common viruses of mosquitoes are the baculoviruses (NPV5) (Baculoviridae: Nucleopolyhedrovirus) and cytoplasmic polyhedrosis viruses (CPV5) (Reoviridae: Cypo- virus). The other major types of viruses in mosquitoes are represented by the densoviruses (DNVs) (Parvoviridae: Brevidensovirus) and the iridoviruses (MIV5) (lridoviridae: Chloriridovirus). Baculoviruses, densoviruses and iridoviruses are DNA viruses while cypoviruses are the main RNA viruses in mosquitoes. This chapter presents an overview of the recent advancements in the study of mosquito pathogenic viruses and discusses how this new understanding of virus-mosquito interactions can be used to develop novel research and control strategies. INTRODUCTION OCCLUDED AND NON-OCCLUDED VIRUSES Viruses are extremely small particles (usually ranging from 20-500 nm) composed of a capsid, Viral diseases of insects can be divided into 2 core and genetic material (either DNA or RNA). general groups, those where the virions are These pathogens are some of the smallest and embedded in a protein matrix (occluded viruses) simplest organisms capable of replication.

The Asian Bush Mosquito Aedes Japonicus Japonicus (Theobald, 1901) (Diptera, Culicidae) Becomes Invasive Helge Kampen1* and Doreen Werner2
Kampen and Werner Parasites & Vectors 2014, 7:59 http://www.parasitesandvectors.com/content/7/1/59 REVIEW Open Access Out of the bush: the Asian bush mosquito Aedes japonicus japonicus (Theobald, 1901) (Diptera, Culicidae) becomes invasive Helge Kampen1* and Doreen Werner2 Abstract The Asian bush or rock pool mosquito Aedes japonicus japonicus is one of the most expansive culicid species of the world. Being native to East Asia, this species was detected out of its original distribution range for the first time in the early 1990s in New Zealand where it could not establish, though. In 1998, established populations were reported from the eastern US, most likely as a result of introductions several years earlier. After a massive spread the mosquito is now widely distributed in eastern North America including Canada and two US states on the western coast. In the year 2000, it was demonstrated for the first time in Europe, continental France, but could be eliminated. A population that had appeared in Belgium in 2002 was not controlled until 2012 as it did not propagate. In 2008, immature developmental stages were discovered in a large area in northern Switzerland and bordering parts of Germany. Subsequent studies in Germany showed a wide distribution and several populations of the mosquito in various federal states. Also in 2011, the species was found in southeastern Austria (Styria) and neighbouring Slovenia. In 2013, a population was detected in the Central Netherlands, specimens were collected in southern Alsace, France, and the complete northeastern part of Slovenia was found colonized, with specimens also present across borders in adjacent Croatia. -
