  • Elimination of Dengue by Control of Aedes Vector Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) Utilizing Copepods (Copepoda: Cyclopidae)
    International Journal of Bioinformatics and Biomedical Engineering Vol. 1, No. 2, 2015, pp. 101-106 http://www.aiscience.org/journal/ijbbe Elimination of Dengue by Control of Aedes Vector Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) Utilizing Copepods (Copepoda: Cyclopidae) Muhammad Sarwar * Nuclear Institute for Agriculture & Biology, Faisalabad, Punjab, Pakistan Abstract This paper reports on the information and result of long-term laboratory and field studies on copepods (Copepoda: Cyclopidae) as predators for mosquito control inhabiting in tropic and subtropic environments. Mosquitoes have long been vectors of numerous diseases that affect human health and well-being in many parts of the world. Reducing the use of pesticides against insect vectors is one of the big demands of the society because public has always been against the heavy use of insecticides. Copepods are natural and tiny shrimp-like crustacean with a hearty appetite for feeding on mosquito larvae in water holding areas. The copepods thrive in fresh and marine water, and are valuable tool in battling mosquitoes in artificial containers, roadside ditches, small water pools, clogged downspouts and other wet areas that can breed plenty of mosquitoes. These are especially helpful tools in fighting mosquitoes near public places, where use of certain pesticides is restricted. Copepods are relatively easy to culture, maintain and deliver to the target areas, but getting the cultures started requires some effort and time. Copepods are more efficient predator of younger than of older larvae of mosquito and predation drops considerably for 4 days and older larvae. Copepods though prefer to prey on younger larvae, yet also increasingly attack on older larvae as greater predator densities reduce the supply of younger ones.

  • The Sarcoplasmic Reticulum of Striated Muscle of A
    THE SARCOPLASMIC RETICULUM OF STRIATED MUSCLE OF A CYCLOPOID COPEPOD WOLF H. FAHRENBACH, Ph.D. From the Department of Anatomy, Harvard Medical School, Boston ABSTRACT The fine structure of the abdominal musculature of the copepod Macrocyclops albidus was investigated by electron microscopy. Tubules penetrate into the muscle fibers from the sarcolemma, continuity between the wall of the tubules and the sarcolemma being clear. A dense network of tubules envelops the myofibrils, its interstices being occupied by cisternal elements. At the Z lines the tubules traverse the interior of myofibrils, giving off branches which course longitudinally within the substance of the myofibrils. These branches are also accompanied by elongate, non-intercommunicating cisternae. Comparison of this fast acting copepod muscle with other vertebrate and invertebrate muscles indicates that the complexity of the tubular system is a function of the myofibrillar geometry, whereas the degree of development of the cisternal system is related to the contraction speed of the muscle. INTRODUCTION The copepod Macrocyclops albidus (Jurine) 1820 internal architecture of these muscles, which (Arthropoda, Crustacea) is one of the most com- were used because of the greater ease of orienta- mon North American copepods.

The study of small water bodies contributes to understanding aquatic organisms’ adaptation to sharp fluctuations in external factors. Studies of biological com- munities’ response to fluctuations in external factors can be used for bioindication of the ecological state of small water bodies. In this regard, the purpose of the research is to study the structure of zooplankton of small lakes in South-East Kazakhstan in connection with various physicochemical parameters to understand the role of biological variables in assessing the ecological state of aquatic Citation: Aubakirova, M.; Krupa, E.; ecosystems.

Here, we assessed the species richness S and taxonomic distinctness D+ (used a proxy of phylogenetic diversity) of crustacean zooplankton assemblages from 40 ponds and small lakes located in Albania and North Macedonia and tested whether they could be predicted by waterbodies’ landscape characteristics (area, perimeter, and altitude), together with local bioclimatic conditions that were derived from Wordclim and MODIS databases. The results showed that a minimum adequate model, including the positive effects of non-arboreal vegetation cover and temperature seasonality, together with the negative influence of the mean temperature of the wettest quarter, effectively predicted assemblages’ variation in species richness.

The new species differs from all previously-known species by the absence of an inner seta on the proximal endopod of the first four swimming legs. Bryocyclops jayabhumi sp. nov. is most similar to B. maholarnensis Watiroyram, Brancelj & Sanoamuang, 2015 – the monotypic species of Group VII, which was previously described from Thailand. However, the new species differs from B. maholarnensis by having the following characteristics: i) posterior margin of urosomites serrated; ii) anal operculum triangular with acute-tip; iii) P1–P4 Enp-1 without an inner seta; iv) armature on the female P2–P3 Enp-2 and P4 Enp; v) a transformed spine on the male P3 Enp-2. In this study, the generic affinity of the genus Bryocyclops Kiefer, 1927 is discussed and redefined, based on the available literature concerning its principle morphology to fill the present knowledge gap about the characteristics of the genus.

    DISEASES OF AQUATIC ORGANISMS Published June 18 Dis, aquat. Org. Horizontal transmission and subsequent development of Amblyospora californica (Microsporida: Amblyosporidae) in the intermediate and definitive hosts James J. Becnel US Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, Medical and Veterinary Entomology Research Laboratory, PO Box 14565, Gainesville, Florida 32604, USA ABSTRACT: Amblyospora californica (type species) was transmitted horizontally by feeding meiospores from larvae of Culex tarsalis (definitive host) to the copepod Macrocyclops albidus (a new intermediate host) and, conversely, by feeding spores produced in adult copepods to larval mosquitoes. Key features of the developmental sequence resulting from the 2 transmissions were demonstrated with both light and electron microscopy. Development in the copepod started with uninucleate sporoplasms from the ingested meiospores, included merogony by binary division of uninucleate meronts, sporogony by binary (usually) or multiple division and production of uninucleate-lanceolate spores within individual envelopes. Development in the mosquito began with uninucleate sporoplasms from the ingested lanceolate spores, included a first merogony (gametogony), plasmogamy, nuclear assoclation, a second merogony and dlsporous sporulation with the production of Nosema-llke spores in the adult female. This female represents a parental generat~onthat transmits the Infection transovanally (vertically) to male and female progeny. By combining results of this study with published data on development in filial generation mosquitoes, it was possible to outline the complete life cycle.
