In some of these countries, DHF is gaining hyper-endemicity causing deaths among children. During 2004, Indonesia reported a major dengue outbreak encompassing Central Java, Sumatra and some outer islands. Till the end of July 2004, 69,017 cases of DF/DHF and 770 deaths were registered by Indonesian health authorities. During this epidemic DEN-3 was the predominant serotype. Sri Lanka also reported a major outbreak with 12,400 cases and 71 deaths as of 23 August 2004. A majority of the cases were reported from five cities: Colombo, Kandy, Gampaha, Kalutara and Kurunegala. In the South-East Asia Region, Bhutan and Nepal continued to enjoy dengue-free status till 2003 because of their sub-mountainous location. However, during August 2004, Bhutan recorded the first-ever outbreak of DF/DHF in Phuntsholing (population 27,000), a border town with India. During this outbreak a total of 2,544 DF/DHF cases with no deaths were reported. More than 93 % of those affected were persons above 5 years of age. This sent a strong signal to the adjoining DF-free north-eastern part of India and Nepal to take appropriate preventive action. DengueNet, the WHO Global Surveillance System for management of epidemiological and virological surveillance data for early detection, planning and response, was launched in the South-East Asia and Western Pacific countries during 2004. Each country identified institutions which would participate in the programme. The current Volume 28 (2004) of the Dengue Bulletin includes contributions from the South-East Asia Region (13), the Western Pacific Region (7), the American Region (5) and the European Region (4). A supplement, featuring experiences from different countries in social mobilization and communication for dengue prevention and control, is also being issued along with this volume. We now invite contributions for Volume 29 (2005). The deadline for the receipt of contributions is 30 June 2005. Contributors are requested to follow the instructions carefully while preparing the manuscript. Contributions accompanied by computer diskettes using MS Word for Windows should be sent to the Editor, Dengue Bulletin, WHO/SEARO, Mahatma Gandhi Road, IP Estate, Ring Road, New Delhi-110 002, India, or by e-mail as a file attachment to the Editor at [email protected].

  • Philippine Species of Mesocyclops (Crustacea: Copepoda) As a Biological Control Agent of Aedes Aegypti (Linnaeus)
    Philippine Species of Mesocyclops (Crustacea: Copepoda) as a Biological Control Agent of Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus) Cecilia Mejica Panogadia-Reyes*#, Estrella Irlandez Cruz** and Soledad Lopez Bautista*** *Department of Biology, Emilio Aguinaldo College, Ermita, Manila, MM, Philippines **Research Institute for Tropical Medicine, Alabang, Muntinlupa, MM, Philippines ***Department of Medical Technology, Emilio Aguinaldo College, Ermita, Manila, MM, Philippines Abstract The predatory capacity of two local populations of Mesocyclops aspericornis (Daday) and Mesocyclops ogunnus species were evaluated, for the first time in the Philippines, as a biological control agent for Aedes aegypti (L) mosquitoes. Under laboratory conditions, Mesocyclops attacked the mosquito first instar larvae by the tail, side and head. The mean of first instar larvae consumed by M. aspericornis and M. ogunnus were 23.96 and 15.00, respectively. An analysis of the variance showed that there was a highly significant difference between the mean number of first instar mosquito larvae consumed by M. aspericornis and by M. ogunnus, which indicated that the former is a more efficient predator of dengue mosquito larvae. The results of the small-scale field trials showed that the mean number of surviving larvae in experimental drums was 63.10 and in control drums was 202.95. The Student t-test of means indicated that there was a significant difference between the mean number of surviving larvae in the drums with and without M. aspericornis. The findings indicated that M. aspericornis females were good biological control agents, for they destroyed/consumed about two-thirds of the wild dengue mosquito larvae population.

A biological control program using copepods that feed on mosquito larvae has been practiced in Vietnam and some other countries, but the application of copepods was not always successful. (2) To understand why the utility of copepods varies, we evaluated the predation efficiency of a copepod species (Mesocyclops aspericornis) on a vector species (Aedes aegypti) by laboratory experiments under different temperatures, nutrition and prey-density conditions. (3) We found that copepod predation reduced intraspecific competition among Aedes larvae and then shortened the survivor’s aquatic life and increased their pupal weight. In addition, the predatory efficiency of copepods was reduced at high temperatures. Furthermore, performance of copepod offspring fell when the density of mosquito larvae was high, probably because mosquito larvae had adverse effects on copepod growth through competition for food resources.

We present data on the efficacy of Mesocyclops longisetus as a biocontrol agent in controlling Aedes aegypti larvae in catch basins in Cali, Colombia. Additionally, we determined some of the features that facilitated the establishment ofthe copepods in catch basins. Between June 1999 and February 200O,201 catch basins were treated with an average of 500 adult copepods. The copepods had established in 49.2Vo of all the basins and they maintained Ae. aegypti larvae at low densities until the end of the 8-month study. The corrected efficacy percent was 9O.44o. The copepods established in basins located in a flat area as opposed to those in steep areas, exposed to sunlight and with 0-7ovo of floating organic matter. when the catch basins were con- taminated with synthetic washing agents, like detergents, the copepods did not survive.

  • The Effect of Pond Dyes on Mosquitoes and Other Freshwater Invertebrates
    The effect of pond dyes on mosquitoes and other freshwater invertebrates A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Biological Sciences Natali Ortiz Perea January 2018 Declaration I confirm that this is my own work and the use of all material from other sources has been properly and fully acknowledged. Natali Ortiz Perea ii ABSTRACT Freshwater habitats are important because they represent two percent of Earth’s water resources, are highly diverse in aquatic organisms and are the most productive and threatened ecosystem worldwide. Pollution, urbanization and climatic changes are responsible for drastic changes in these ecosystems. The creation of new ponds offers an opportunity to increase biodiversity, landscape connectivity and provide new habitat for organisms. However, new ponds might be a good habitat for mosquitoes to lay eggs. Mosquitoes have worldwide distribution and are responsible for most of the vector-borne diseases, affecting thousands of people and causing millions of deaths. British mosquitoes currently do not carry human diseases, but they are a biting nuisance. Their distribution, abundance, species composition and potential for mosquito disease transmission are intimately linked to the physical environment. Culex pipiens is commonly found in UK gardens and is a potential vector of viruses including the West Nile Virus. However, any environmental factors that significantly change the distribution and population of Cx. pipiens could impact future risks of disease transmission. Pond dyes are a cosmetic product for garden ponds and lakes; they inhibit algal growth and improve the overall appearance of the water body reflecting surrounding planting. The dyes block red light from entering the water, interrupting the process of photosynthesis and therefore inhibiting the growth of certain aquatic plants such as algae.

Current control tools mainly rely Dengue; on the employment of (i) synthetic or microbial pesticides, (ii) insecticide-treated bed nets, (iii) adult Malaria; repellents, (iv) biological control agents against mosquito young instars (mainly fishes, amphibians Green nanosynthesis; and copepods) (v) Sterile Insect Technique (SIT), (vi) ‘‘boosted SIT”,(vii) symbiont-based methods Zika virus and (viii) transgenic mosquitoes. Currently, none of these single strategies is fully successful. Novel eco-friendly strategies to manage mosquito vectors are urgently needed. The plant-mediated fabri- cation of nanoparticles is advantageous over chemical and physical methods, since it is cheap, single-step, and does not require high pressure, energy, temperature, or the use of highly toxic chem- icals. In the latest years, a growing number of plant-borne compounds have been proposed for effi- cient and rapid extracellular synthesis of metal nanoparticles effective against mosquitoes at very low doses (i.e.

A single adult female of M. annulatus caused 51.6% and 52.3% mortality of 50 first instar larvae of Ae. aegypti and Cx. pipiens respectively, in a 72 h test period. When alternative food was added to the containers, mortality rates declined to 16% and 10.3% for Ae. aegypti and Cx. pipiens respectively. When 50 first instar larvae of each of the two mosquito species tested were placed together with a single adult female of M. annulatus, mortality rates were 75.5% for Ae. aegypti larvae and 23.5% for Cx. pipiens larvae in a three day test period. Different density of adult females of M. annulatus ranged from 5 to 25 females produced mortality rates of Ae. aegypti first instar larvae from 50% to 100% respectively. When a single adult female of M. annulatus was exposed to an increasing number of first-instar Ae. aegypti larvae ranging from 10 to 100, 100% mortality was recorded from 1 to 25 larvae, then mortality declined to 30% with 100 larvae. The average larvae killed per 24 h period by a single copepod were 29.

Entomol. 29(4): 571-576 (1992) 2 ABSTRACT On Tereia Island, Rangiroa Atoll, 14,321 land crab burrows were treated 3 with the copepod Mesocyclops aspericornis from January to June 1986, to control larvae of Aedes polynesiensis marks. In October 1987, the entire island of Tereia was retreated E (17,300burrows), and the neighboring island, Voisin, was left untreated as a control. From 3 5 to 15 mo after treatment, burrows with M.aspericornis contained an average of 2 Ae. polynesiensis immatures compared with 97 immatures from untreated burrows. Long-term y %3 larval control was successful in low-lying areas where burrows remained wet or were 2 Q- reflooded. Although there may have been other contributing factors, the major reason for lack of persistence of M. aspericornis in burrows over the entire island appeared to be poor LL !$ a resistance to desiccation. From all treated burrows in October 1987, M. aspericornis z a- subsequently was found in 89.5,39.1, and 24.1% of burrows sampled 5,8, and 15 mo after g., ~~ treatment, respectively. The broad-scale results for Tereia indicated that there was no Y) .I-a reduction of adult biting indices when compared with Voisin. Mark-release experiments 0" &, on four occasions indicated that Ae. polynesiensis had a limited flight range and that the e probability for interisland movement was low.
