Estimating Mosquito Population Size From Mark–Release–Recapture Data

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2013
Accurate estimation of population size is key to understanding the ecology of disease vectors, as well as the epidemiology of the pathogens they carry and to plan effective control activities. Population size can be estimated through mark-release-recapture (MRR) experiments that are based on the assumption that the ratio of recaptured individuals to ...

Effects of environment, dietary regime and ageing on the dengue vector microbiota: evidence of a core microbiota throughout Aedes aegypti lifespan

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2016
Mosquito midgut microbiota is a key component of vector competence, as gut bacteria can disturb pathogen development. In this study, we addressed the microbiota composition of Aedes aegypti during its lifespan, under field conditions.

A standardised method of marking male mosquitoes with fluorescent dust

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background Prior to a major release campaign of sterile insects, including the sterile insect technique, male mosquitoes must be marked and released (small scale) to determine key parameters including wild population abundance, dispersal and survival ...

Dispersal of phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) in a colombian focus of leishmania (Viannia) brasiliensis

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1992
Dispersal of five species of phlebotomine sand flies was studied in a coffee plantation near Arboledas, Colombia by mark-release-recapture studies using fluorescent powders. The estimated recapture rate for males of Lutzomyia shannoni marked and released

The development and evaluation of a self-marking unit to estimate malaria vector survival and dispersal distance

Malaria Journal, 2019
Background A clear understanding of mosquito biology is fundamental to the control efforts of mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria. Mosquito mark-release-recapture (MMRR) experiments are a popular method of measuring the survival and dispersal of ...

Study of Aedes albopictus dispersal in Rome, Italy, using sticky traps in mark–release–recapture experiments [PDF]

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 2010
We report the results of three mark–release–recapture experiments carried out in an urban area in Rome, Italy, to study the active dispersal of Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae). The 4.3% recapture rate obtained supports the use of sticky traps in MRR experiments to study the dispersal of

Species composition, abundance, size distribution, sex ratios, and movement of Scylla mud crabs within the mangrove ecosystem at Setiu Wetland, Terengganu, Malaysia

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
The aim of the present study was to determine the movement patterns of mud crabs, genus Scylla, within the mangrove area of the Setiu Wetland in Terengganu, Malaysia. Mark-release-recapture technique were conducted during 24 sampling trips. A fluorescent

Simultaneous external and internal marking of Triatoma sordida nymphs: trace element efficacy and microgeographic dispersal in a peridomestic Brazilian Cerrado rural household

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Background Chagas disease (American trypanosomiasis) is an important neglected tropical illness, which has the flagellate protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi as etiological agent and blood-feeding insects of the Triatominae subfamily as vectors.

Flight behaviour and dispersal ofRhynchophorus ferrugineus(Coleoptera: Dryophthoridae) adults using mark-release-recapture method

Bulletin of Entomological Research, 2016
AbstractThe flight ability and patterns of an insect influence its spread, and the study of its behaviour can be used to improve the strategies to control the pest. RegardingRhynchophorus ferrugineus(Olivier) (Coleoptera: Dryophthoridae), one of the worst threats to palm trees worldwide, laboratory experiments have been conducted to analyze their ...
