Mosquito Surveillance for West Nile Virus
2022Identifying the mosquitoes responsible for transmitting human disease-causing pathogens is of critical importance for effective control of mosquito-borne outbreaks. West Nile virus is often transferred by adult female mosquitoes in the genus Culex, which deposit eggs in a variety of aquatic habitats throughout the world.

Mosquito Surveillance for Prevention and Control of Emerging Mosquito-Borne Diseases in Portugal — 2008–2014 [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2014 Mosquito surveillance in Europe is essential for early detection of invasive species with public health importance and prevention and control of emerging pathogens. In Portugal, a vector surveillance national program—REVIVE (REde de VIgilância de VEctores)—has been operating since 2008 under the custody of Portuguese Ministry of Health.

As blood-sucking insects, mosquitoes are particularly important to human health. They not only are annoying pests but also are capable of transmitting debilitating or lethal pathogens, mostly viruses, to humans. In order to assess the threat posed by mosquitoes to humans in the state of Iowa, the Iowa State University (ISU) Medical Entomology ...

Surveillance of mosquitoes harnessing their buzzing sound
Acta TropicaMosquito surveillance for vector-borne disease management relies on traditional morphological and molecular techniques, which are tedious, time-consuming, and costly. The present study describes a simple and efficient recording device that analyzes mosquito sound to estimate species composition, male-female ratio, fed-unfed status, and harmonic ...

During 2006, mosquitoes were collected at the Western Research Farm, Castana, and McNay Research Farm, Chariton, IA in gravid traps that were baited to attract female mosquitoes that were ready to lay eggs(oviposit). The gravid trap in particular is in widespread use in mosquito control programs throughout the U.S., because the trap preferentially ...

Surveillance of Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) in Southern Iowa, 2016
Journal of Medical Entomology, 2018The mosquito fauna of Iowa has been extensively investigated over several decades, providing a wealth of information regarding species distributions, relative abundance, temporal activity patterns, and identifying vectors of medical importance. However, these investigations have had unequal coverage, leaving the mosquito fauna in some parts of the ...

Current Opinion in Insect Science, 2020
Surveillance programs are needed to guide mosquito-control operations to reduce both nuisance and the spread of mosquito-borne diseases. Understanding the thresholds for action to reduce both nuisance and the risk of arbovirus transmission is becoming critical.

A portable approach for the surveillance of dengue virus-infected mosquitoes
Journal of Virological Methods, 2012Dengue virus is the most significant human viral pathogen spread by the bite of an infected mosquito. With no vaccine or antiviral therapy currently available, disease prevention relies largely on surveillance and mosquito control. Preventing the onset of dengue outbreaks and effective vector management would be considerably enhanced through ...

[The recurring necessity of mosquito surveillance and research].
Bundesgesundheitsblatt, Gesundheitsforschung, Gesundheitsschutz, 2016Hematophagous arthropods and the diseases associated with them represent a growing threat to human and animal health in Europe. After the eradication of endemic malaria from Europe in the middle of the last century, there has been a resurgence of mosquitoes as significant vectors of disease agents under the influence of continuing globalisation, as ...

Learning outcomes for participants in citizen science mosquito surveillance
Journal of Medical EntomologyAbstract Although citizen science initiatives have been increasing globally, there is still a gap in understanding how they can result in sustainable benefits for citizen scientists. This article addresses dual goals of (i) collecting relevant data on potential vector mosquitoes and (ii) delivering learning outcomes among participants in
