A Simple Feeding Device for Culex Pipiens in Avian Malaria Studies.
with the base and a membrane hinge is cemnented on (C). A writing lever (not shown in the illustration) is attached to the top surface. The bellows is now made ready for use by smearing generously a layer of paraffin oil on the membrane, thus not only sealing any microscopic holes, but rendering it more flexible. These bellows may be made of any volume capacity to fulfil a particular conadition...
متن کاملPyrethroid resistance in Culex pipiens mosquitoes.
Mosquitoes within the Culex pipiens complex are widely distributed and important in the transmission of many human diseases. Insecticides, pyrethroids in particular, remain a mainstay for control of these important vectors. In this paper we review what is known about the levels, mechanisms and fitness costs of pyrethroid resistance in Cx. pipiens. Pyrethroid resistance in Cx. pipiens is a globa...
متن کاملHigh Prevalence and Lineage Diversity of Avian Malaria in Wild Populations of Great Tits (Parus major) and Mosquitoes (Culex pipiens)
Avian malaria studies have taken a prominent place in different aspects of evolutionary ecology. Despite a recent interest in the role of vectors within the complex interaction system of the malaria parasite, they have largely been ignored in most epidemiological studies. Epidemiology of the disease is however strongly related to the vector's ecology and behaviour, and there is a need for basic...
متن کاملWolbachia in the Culex pipiens Group Mosquitoes: Introgression and Superinfection
Wolbachia bacteria in mosquitoes induce cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), where sperm from Wolbachia-infected males can produce inviable progeny. The wPip strain in the Culex pipiens group of mosquitoes produces a complexity of CI crossing types. Several factors are thought to be capable of influencing the expression of CI including Wolbachia strain type and host genotype. In this study, the un...
متن کاملEnergetic cost of insecticide resistance in Culex pipiens mosquitoes.
The extensive use of insecticides to control vector populations has lead to the widespread development of different mechanisms of insecticide resistance. Mutations that confer insecticide resistance are often associated to fitness costs that prevent them from spreading to fixation. In vectors, such fitness costs include reductions in preimaginal survival, adult size, longevity, and fecundity. T...
