Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Recent Advances in Knowledge of the Natural History and the Control of Mosquitoes Two assumptions were, Of course, necessary to the success of this plan, one of which is that the mosquitoes may be collected in daylight and the other that the direction of greatest density indicates the source of the brood. The collections were made in as nearly Similar places as possible, especially as regards the char acter of the growth, and the relative number present was determined by using two small cyanide tubes and catching specimens as rapidly as possible for a definite period of time, then reckoning the catch on the basis of so many per minute.

Download or read book Mosquito written by Andrew Spielman and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2001-08-01 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in paperback--a fascinating work of popular science from a world-renowned expert on mosquitoes and a prize-winning reporter. In this lively and comprehensive portrait of the mosquito, its role in history, and its threat to mankind, Spielman and D'Antonio take a mosquito's-eye view of nature and man. They show us how mosquitoes breed, live, mate, and die, and introduce us to their enemies, both natural and man-made. The authors present tragic and often grotesque examples of how the mosquito has insinuated itself into human history, from the malaria that devastated invaders of ancient Rome to the current widespread West Nile fever panic. Filled with little-known facts and remarkable anecdotes that bring this tiny being into larger focus, Mosquito offers fascinating, alarming, and convincing evidence that the sooner we get to know this pesky insect, the better off we'll be.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With around 3,500 species identified so far, mosquitoes can be found in virtually every environment and continent around the globe. Blood-feeding biters (e.g., Anopheles, Culex, Aedes, Ochlerotatus, and Mansonia) are among the most influential vectors for harboring and transmitting mosquito-borne diseases (MBDs) such as Zika, Japanese encephalitis, West Nile fever, dengue fever, yellow fever, and malaria, among other diseases. More than 700 million human infections and 725,000 deaths occur every year. Mosquitoes are increasing in number worldwide, yet there are still no effective vaccines or prevention strategies. Thus, traditional vector control strategies remain the most common ways to combat these diseases. Despite this, MBDs linger as one of the major challenges for public health and vector control programs at both global and local levels. This book provides a comprehensive overview of MBDs and vector control strategies.
Download or read book Mosquito Control Classic Reprint written by Henry Josef Quayle and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mosquito Control Introductory - The campaign against mosquitoes recorded in this Bulletin was undertaken by the California Experiment Station at the urgent request Of the Burlingame Improvement Club. Late in May, 1904, a letter was received by the entomologist of the Station, asking for aid in relief from mosquitoes in the vicinity of Burlingame, where they had become exceedingly abundant and annoying. This request was made too late to do any effective control for that season, but it was recommended that a preliminary survey be made with a View to obtain ing data for future work. The writer was consequently detailed to make this survey, and three weeks were spent in the neighborhood making collections and locating breeding grounds. In this study it was soon determined that the mosquito giving practically all of the trouble (estimated at 95 per cent) was a species that bred in salt or brackish water only, and that in any work looking toward control, the salt-marsh area must receive first consideration. This being known, the pre liminary report made to the Burlingame Improvement Club gave but little encouragement, because of the extent of the marsh land that must be included in the problem. It was further stated, however, that if they were considering the problem in earnest, and wished to go to the expense necessary to control this large breeding ground, the Ex periment Station would be glad to outline a plan of campaign for the following season.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the struggles of the twentieth century, the one between humans and mosquitoes may have been the most vexing, as demonstrated by the long battle to control these bloodsucking pests. As vectors of diseases such as malaria, yellow fever, encephalitis, and dengue fever, mosquitoes forced open a new chapter in the history of medical entomology. Based on extensive use of primary sources, The Mosquito Crusades traces this saga and the parallel efforts of civic groups in New Jersey's Meadowlands and along San Francisco Bay's east side to manage the dangerous mosquito population. Providing readers with a fascinating exploration of the relationship between science, technology, and public policy, Gordon Patterson's narrative begins in New Jersey with John B. Smith's effort to develop a comprehensive plan and solution for mosquito control, one that would serve as a national model. From the Reed Commission's 1900 yellow fever experiment to the first Earth Day seventy years later, Patterson provides an eye-opening account of the crusade to curtail the deadly mosquito population.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on the Mosquitoes of the United States: Giving Some Account of Their Structure and Biology, With Remarks on Remedies The writer first became interested in mosquitoes, thirty years or more ago, when as a boy he fished and collected insects in the marshes at the head Of Cayuga Lake, New York, and as early as 1867 had experimented with the kerosene remedy against mosquito larvae in a horse trough at Ithaca. In 1881 he discussed with Dr. A. F. A. King and the late C. V. Riley the bearings Of the theory, which Dr. King was the first to bring forward in the United States, Of the probable rela tion between mosquitoes and malaria, both Dr. Riley and the writer contending, it must be confessed, that the arguments brought forward by Dr. King in conversation were based upon coincidental Observations, and afforded no good proof Of cause and effect.
