Strelkovimermis spiculatus n. sp. (Mermithidae: Nematoda) Parasitizing Aedes albifasciatus Mac. (Culicidae: Diptera) in Argentina.
Strelkovimermis spiculatus n. sp. (Mermithidae: Nematoda), a parasite of the mosquito Aedes albifasciatus Mac. in Argentina, is described. Diagnostic characters of this species include a ventrally shifted mouth opening and spicules fused at the tips. The mermithid has been reared on Culex pipiens L. larvae in the laboratory.
متن کاملRecords of mosquito-parasitic mermithid nematodes in the northcentral United States.
Mermithid parasites (Nematoda: Mermithidae) were observed in 11 mosquito species in 22 counties of Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin. Natural hosts included adult Aedes vexans, Ae. canadensis, Ae. cinereus, Ae. diantaeus, Ae. punctor, Anopheles punctipennis and Coquillettidia perturbans and larvae of Ae. abserratus, Ae. canadensis, Ae. cinereus, Ae. communis, Ae. diantaeus, Ae. p...
متن کاملDistribution and prevalence of Octomyomermis troglodytis (Nematoda: Mermithidae), a parasite of the western tree hole mosquito, Aedes sierrensis.
Octomyomermis troglodytis was found infecting Aedes sierrensis larvae in 14.5% of 165 tree holes sampled between 1982 and 1986. Mermithid infections were detected in tree hole waters that ranged in pH from 6.5 to 9.3 and electrical conductivities between 0.10 and 5.11 mmhos/cm. Third and fourth instar larvae were most frequently infected, and most immatures that succumbed to infections died whi...
متن کاملThe mermithid species Isomermis lairdi (Nematoda, Mermithidae), previously only known in Africa, found in Europe
The present work contributs to the knowledge on the aquatic mermithids (Nematoda, Mermithidae) occurring in black flies - an insufficiently studied group of parasitic nematodes. Isomermislairdi Mondet, Poinar & Bernadou, 1977, described from larvae of Simuliumdamnosum Theobald, 1903 in Western Africa, is reported to occur in Bulgaria. The species was isolated from larvae of Simuliumornatum Meig...
متن کاملPrevalence of parasitism of adult Aedes vexans by a mermithid (Nematoda: Mermithidae) in Oklahoma.
During the past 20 years, considerable effort has been directed toward development ofcontrol of mosquitoes by using mermithid nematodes as biological agents (Petersen 198b). Still, httle is known about the distribution of this parasitehost relationship. With the exception of studies with Perutilimermis cullos (Nickle), a parasite of adult Aedes sollicitans (Walker) along the Gulf and East Coast...
