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 ...

Citizen science and smartphone e-entomology enables low-cost upscaling of mosquito surveillance.
Science of the Total Environment, 2019Mosquito surveillance remains a cornerstone of pest and disease control operations globally but is strongly limited in scale by resources. The use of citizen science to upscale scientific data collection is commonplace, and mosquito surveillance programs

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 ...

Leveraging mosquito surveillance data to assess ecosystem health
Trends in ParasitologyAssessing ecosystem health is essential for preserving biodiversity. Mosquito abundance and community composition can serve as indicators of environmental conditions, providing insights into ecosystem health. Mosquitoes are routinely collected through surveillance programs and can be used to develop a metric for assessing both ecosystem health and ...

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

Management of Invasive Mosquitoes Through Molecular Surveillance
In environmental and public health management, a number of mosquito species are considered pests and vectors of diseases. They are responsible for transmitting pathogens such as plasmodium and flaviviruses, causing the endemic circulation of those diseases in some countries.Chong, Yee Ling +8 more
