ANTI-MOSQUITO BEHAVIOR OF ADULT AND JUVENILE WHITE-FOOTED MICE (PEROMYSCUS LEUCOPUS) (TREEHOLE MOSQUITO, AEDES TRISERIATUS, EPIDEMIOLOGY)
… immediate environment.</p><p>I used wild-stock Aedes triseriatus mosquitoes, reared in lab, in experiments with four groups of mice: (1) wild-caught adult males in a barren enclosure; (2) wild-caught adult males in an enclosure with seeds and nest material that could be manipulated, simulating …

An Ecological, Molecular, and Biochemical Comparison of Aedes Triseriatus (Say), the Vector of LaCrosse Virus, With Its Sibling Species, Aedes Hendersoni Cockerell
Aedes triseriatus (Say) is the primary vector of LaCrosse virus (LAC virus) that causes encephalitis in humans and especially young children. Aedes hendersoni Cockerell, a sibling species of Ae. triseriatus, is generally unable to transmit the virus because of a salivary gland escape barrier. …

Comparative studies of the microbial composition and diversity of container-dwelling mosquitoes
… of the microbial communities of larval stages of Aedes japonicus and Aedes triseriatus collected from tree hole and waste tire habitats revealed the bacterial richness to be highest in Aedes japonicus, intermediate in Aedes triseriatus, and in water samples from their larval environment. The …

Transcriptional regulation of mosquito oogenesis
<p>The Eastern treehole mosquito, <i>Aedes triseriatus</i> (Say), is the primary vector of La Crosse virus (LACV) in the United States. LACV is maintained in natural populations in part by transovarial transmission from infected females to their progeny. Our understanding of the innate immune …

Molecular analysis of La Crosse virus transcription and replication in host cells
… genus Orthobunyavirus) transmitted by Aedes triseriatus mosquitoes and is an important cause of pediatric arboviral encephalitis in the United States. Like other arthropod-borne viruses, LAC virus can be very cytolytic in mammalian cells, but establishes a persistent, nonpathogenic …

Comparative Transmission and Pathogenesis of La Crosse Virus (LACV) Lineages and Evidence for LACV Circulation in Virginia Wildlife
… LACV is maintained in hardwood forests utilizing Aedes spp. mosquitoes, primarily Aedes triseriatus, and Sciuridae vertebrate host species, primarily the Eastern Chipmunk (Tamias striatus) or via transovarial transmission from mother mosquitoes to offspring. Historically, LACV comprised two …

Interactions Between Protozoan Prey (<i>Phylum protista</i>) and Their Mosquito Predators (Order <i>Diptera</i>, Family <i>Cuclicidae</i>) Prey Size and Predator Behavior Effects
… surveillance and control of adult populations. Aedes albopictus, Aedes triseriatus, Cu/ex corona/or, and Culex quinquefasciatus are four species of mosquito that co-occur in discarded automobile tires. Mosqui-to larvae feed on microorganisms (including protozoans) and particulate organic matter …

Overwintering Mechanisms of La Crosse Virus Vectors
… horizontal transmission with sciurid rodents and Aedes mosquitoes in Virginia. Transovarial transmission also occurs in this host-parasite system and has evolved for the virus to persist through winter. The virus perpetuates in diapause induced embryos and infects naive rodents the following …

Transmission of La Crosse Virus in Southwest Virginia: Role of Accessory Vectors, Microfilarial Coinfection and Canine Seroprevalence
… oviposition activity of LAC virus vectors Aedes triseriatus, Ae. albopictus and Ae. japonicus across a wide region of southwest Virginia. Egg abundance and oviposition patterns of these vectors were significantly different across the three study areas. The primary LAC virus vector, Ae. …

Forest disturbance, mosquito vector ecology and La Crosse virus dynamics in southwestern Virginia
… in different ways. The primary LACV vector, Aedes triseriatus, and the recent invasive Ae. japonicus declined with logging. Other vectors (Ae. albopictus, Ae. canadensis, and Ae. vexans) thrived with logging. Culex pipiens/restuans was affected by disturbance but had no treatment preference. …

Dynamics of La Crosse virus: Surveillance, Control and Effect on Vector Behavior
… cycle involving the eastern treehole mosquito, Aedes triseriatus and small woodland mammals such as chipmunks and squirrels. The objectives of this study were 1) to conduct surveillance of LACV and other mosquito-borne viruses; 2) to evaluate the effect of virus infection on mosquito …

La Crosse Virus in Southwestern Virginia: Role of Exotic Mosquito Species and Effect of Virus Infection on Feeding
… (LAC) virus. Vectors include the major vector Aedes triseriatus and two accessory vectors Aedes albopictus and Aedes japonicus. In the past several decades there has been an increase in the number of LAC cases, implication of new vectors, and the appearance of new foci of disease in the …

Predador e presa de Culicidae: a interação em microcosmo aquático mediada por bactérias
… Toxorhynchites rutilus se alimentam de larvas de Aedes triseriatus, os quais se alimentam de bactérias. Nós postulamos que surge uma cascata trófica da predação de larvas de A. triseriatus por T. rutilus impactando a abundância ação bacteriana. Como predito abundância bacteriana foi maior nos …

Factors influencing arbovirus transmission: vector competence and the effects of virus infection on repellent response, oxidative stress, and glutathione-S-transferase activity
… We conducted vector competence studies of local Aedes and Culex mosquitoes for ZIKV and CVV, and found that all Aedes mosquitoes were competent for CVV and only Aedes albopictus and Aedes japonicus were competent for ZIKV. Vector competence for CVV was dose-dependent, where mosquitoes orally …
