MOSQUITO AND AQUATIC PREDATOR COMMUNITIES IN GROUND POOLS ON LANDS DEFORESTED FOR RICE FIELD DEVELOPMENT IN CENTRAL SULAWESI. INDONESIA M. MOGI,' T, SUNAHARA'AND MAKMUR SELOMO, ABSTRACT, Aquatic habitats, mosquitoes, and larvivorous predators were studied on deforested lands in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. Open ground pools, mainly in depressions made by the treads of bulldozers and other heavy equipment, were numerous but because of their small size, comprised ca. lEo or less of the total area of the deforested lands studied. The dominant mosquitoes in these pools were Anopheles vagus, Culex vishnui, Culex tritaeniorhynchus, and Culex gelidus. The lst 2 species were dominant in clear pools, whereas the latter 2 species were dominant in turbid pools. The dominant metazoans other than mosquitoes were Crus- tacea, Ephemeroptera, and Chironomidae. Both aquatic and surface predators were abundant. Dominant among aquatic predators were Anisoptera and Zygoptera nymphs, Dytiscidae, and Notonectidae. These results are discussed in relation to mosquito control on deforested lands that transitionally but inevitably appear during the course of rice field development projects in Indonesia.

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.

Aedes lineatopennis, a species member of the subgenus Neomelaniconion, could be colonized for more than 10 successive generations from 30 egg batches [totally 2,075 (34-98) eggs] of wild-caught females. The oviposited eggs needed to be incubated in a moisture chamber for at least 7 days to complete embryonation and, following immersion in 0.25-2% hay-fermented water, 61-66% of them hatched after hatching stimulation. Larvae were easily reared in 0.25-1% hay-fermented water, with suspended powder of equal weight of wheat germ, dry yeast, and oatmeal provided as food. Larval development was complete after 4-6 days. The pupal stage lasted 3-4 days when nearly all pupae reached the adult stage (87-91%). The adults had to mate artificially, and 5-day-old males proved to be the best age for induced copulation. Three to five-day-old females, which were kept in a paper cup, were fed easily on blood from an anesthetized golden hamster that was placed on the top- screen. The average number of eggs per gravid female was 63.56 ± 22.93 (22-110). Unfed females and males, which were kept in a paper cup and fed on 5% multivitamin syrup solution, lived up to 43.17 ± 12.63 (9-69) and 15.90 ± 7.24 (2-39) days, respectively, in insectarium conditions of 27 ± 2˚C and 70-80% relative humidity.

  • Potentialities for Accidental Establishment of Exotic Mosquitoes in Hawaii1
    Vol. XVII, No. 3, August, 1961 403 Potentialities for Accidental Establishment of Exotic Mosquitoes in Hawaii1 C. R. Joyce PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE QUARANTINE STATION U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, EDUCATION, AND WELFARE HONOLULU, HAWAII Public health workers frequently become concerned over the possibility of the introduction of exotic anophelines or other mosquito disease vectors into Hawaii. It is well known that many species of insects have been dispersed by various means of transportation and have become established along world trade routes. Hawaii is very fortunate in having so few species of disease-carrying or pest mosquitoes. Actually only three species are found here, exclusive of the two purposely introduced Toxorhynchites. Mosquitoes still get aboard aircraft and surface vessels, however, and some have been transported to new areas where they have become established (Hughes and Porter, 1956). Mosquitoes were unknown in Hawaii until early in the 19th century (Hardy, I960). The night biting mosquito, Culex quinquefasciatus Say, is believed to have arrived by sailing vessels between 1826 and 1830, breeding in water casks aboard the vessels. Van Dine (1904) indicated that mosquitoes were introduced into the port of Lahaina, Maui, in 1826 by the "Wellington." The early sailing vessels are known to have been commonly plagued with mosquitoes breeding in their water supply, in wooden tanks, barrels, lifeboats, and other fresh water con tainers aboard the vessels, The two day biting mosquitoes, Aedes ae^pti (Linnaeus) and Aedes albopictus (Skuse) arrived somewhat later, presumably on sailing vessels. Aedes aegypti probably came from the east and Aedes albopictus came from the western Pacific.

For instance, malaria, dengue hemorrhagic fever and filariasis remain endemic in Pangkajene Regency and Islands Regencies.The existence of these vectors will affect the transmission of potential vector-borne diseases. The purpose of this research is to determine the potential transmission of those diseases including Japanese encephalitis in those areas. Data were collected by catching adult mosquitoes and larvae in forest, non-forest and coastal ecosystems according to the WHO methods, including human man landing collection, animal baited trap net, animal feed, resting morning, and light trap. The larva survey was conducted at the mosquito breeding place. Pathogens in mosquitoes were detected in a laboratory using Polimerase Chain Reaction. The study found plasmodium in some species. They were Anopheles vagus in a residential ecosystem near settlement, Anopheles subpictus in forest ecosystems near settlements and non forest remote settlements, Anopheles barbirostris was found near and remote forest ecosystems, Anopheles indifinitus found in nearby forest ecosystems and non- forest close to settlements.

  • 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.

  • Meta-Analyses of the Proportion of Japanese Encephalitis Virus Infection in Vectors and Vertebrate Hosts Ana R.S
    Oliveira et al. Parasites & Vectors (2017) 10:418 DOI 10.1186/s13071-017-2354-7 RESEARCH Open Access Meta-analyses of the proportion of Japanese encephalitis virus infection in vectors and vertebrate hosts Ana R.S. Oliveira1, Lee W. Cohnstaedt2, Erin Strathe3, Luciana Etcheverry Hernández1, D. Scott McVey2, José Piaggio4 and Natalia Cernicchiaro1* Abstract Background: Japanese encephalitis (JE) is a zoonosis in Southeast Asia vectored by mosquitoes infected with the Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV). Japanese encephalitis is considered an emerging exotic infectious disease with potential for introduction in currently JEV-free countries. Pigs and ardeid birds are reservoir hosts and play a major role on the transmission dynamics of the disease. The objective of the study was to quantitatively summarize the proportion of JEV infection in vectors and vertebrate hosts from data pertaining to observational studies obtained in a systematic review of the literature on vector and host competence for JEV, using meta-analyses. Methods: Data gathered in this study pertained to three outcomes: proportion of JEV infection in vectors, proportion of JEV infection in vertebrate hosts, and minimum infection rate (MIR) in vectors. Random-effects subgroup meta-analysis models were fitted by species (mosquito or vertebrate host species) to estimate pooled summary measures, as well as to compute the variance between studies. Meta-regression models were fitted to assess the association between different predictors and the outcomes of interest and to identify sources of heterogeneity among studies. Predictors included in all models were mosquito/vertebrate host species, diagnostic methods, mosquito capture methods, season, country/region, age category, and number of mosquitos per pool.
