Effects of the Environmental Temperature on Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus Mosquitoes: A Review

Insects, 2018
The temperature of the environment is one of the most important abiotic factors affecting the life of insects. As poikilotherms, their body temperature is not constant, and they rely on various strategies to minimize the risk of thermal stress. They have

Exploring marking methods for the predatory hoverfly Sphaerophoria rueppellii (Diptera: Syrphidae)

Insect Science, EarlyView.
As important pollinators and predators of aphids, hoverflies play an important role in ecosystems. This study focuses on identifying the best marking technique for the model species Sphaerophoria rueppellii that can be used to track hoverfly feeding and oviposition sites, evaluating three methods: rubidium (RbCl), fluorescein, and fluorescent dusts ...

Vector Competence of Aedes caspius and Ae. albopictus Mosquitoes for Zika Virus, Spain

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2019
We assessed the vector competence of Aedes caspius and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes in Spain for the transmission of Zika virus. Whereas Ae. albopictus mosquitoes were a competent vector, Ae. caspius mosquitoes were unable to transmit Zika virus.

Baseline Susceptibility Status of Florida Populations of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) and Aedes albopictus

Journal of medical entomology, 2020
Resistance to insecticides used to control mosquito vectors threatens the ability of mosquito-control organizations to protect public health. Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus) and Aedes albopictus (Skuse) are invasive species widely distributed throughout Florida

Stress in dipteran insects mass‐reared for sterile insect technique applications

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The connections between biotic and abiotic stress affecting mass‐reared dipteran insects and the associated stress and immunological responses. Numbers indicate the order in which the topics are discussed in this review. Abstract Stress may be viewed as the disturbance of homeostasis of an organism.

IDENTIFICATION OF AEDES ALBOPICTUS IN URBAN NICARAGUA

Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 2005
Larvae of Aedes albopictus, a mosquito known for transmitting dengue virus, were identified in the city of León, Nicaragua, in 2003. Mosquito larvae were collected from a total of 2,225 residences in the 2 largest cities in Nicaragua during the period from June to September of 2003, and larval Ae. albopictus were identified in 4 homes in León.

Resting behaviour as a target for innovative mosquito control strategies

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract This work reviews and discusses how a deeper knowledge of mosquito time‐allocation, particularly resting periods, can enhance the effectiveness and deployment of classical vector control tools. As more high‐resolution data are gathered by novel tracking devices, follow‐up questions investigating mosquito behaviour are likely to arise ...
