This book was released on 2009 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aedes aegypti is a naturalized invasive mosquito in United States that is responsible for transmitting diseases such as yellow fever, dengue, and chickungunya around the globe. In Chapter I, I examined the phylogeography of the mosquito in south Florida using a 418 base pair partial ND5 mitochondrial DNA marker. I sampled larvae from multiple vases within a cemetery, multiple cemeteries within a city, and cities along the east and west coast of south Florida. Aedes aegypti haplotypes assemble into two clades suggesting at least two separate introductions. The relatively high genetic diversity of A. aegypti in south Florida compared to genetic diversity in other invaded areas such as Southeast Asia and Australia provides additional evidence for multiple introductions from multiple source populations into south Florida. Genetic structure of these populations did not yield evidence for deviation from stable population sizes, despite eradication measures of the 1960's or the population fluctuations that might be expected to result from vector control efforts across both coasts. There was a significant east-west split based on differences in haplotype frequencies. Haplotype and nucleotide diversities of A. aegypti populations in the west coast were higher than those for populations in the east coast, suggesting that the west coast populations were established earlier than the east coast populations. There was evidence for extensive gene flow within the west coast and a moderate gene flow within the east coast and between the two coasts. Postulated landscape barriers (rivers and bays) in the west coast of Florida did not appear to be barriers to dispersal of A. aegypti. In Chapter II, I tested whether successful human-aided A. aegypti dispersal was different for two habitat types within Tampa and Miami in South Florida. I postulated that tires and cemetery vases are larval habitats that differ in the extent of human activity, with tires often moved by humans, resulting in displacement of the larvae and eggs contained within, and cemetery vases infrequently moved by humans. Hence, I postulated that dispersal of tire site A. aegypti populations will likely be more impacted by human activity ('human-aided dispersal') when compared with cemetery populations, while the natural dispersal of A. aegypti would be similar in both habitats. I used both mitochondrial (773 base pair partial ND4 and partial ND5 mitochondrial DNA fragments) and microsatellite markers (six polymorphic loci). I sampled multiple tire sites and cemetery sites within each city. Contrary to my hypothesis, I found no evidence for greater human-aided dispersal in tire habitats compared to cemeteries, and gene flow from both habitats was similar. There was, however, a difference between the two cities, with Miami having higher proportion of dispersers than Tampa. Most of the dispersers from Miami tended to migrate within the city. The extent of migration from Tampa to Miami was greater than vice versa. My research has confirmed the existence of long-distance dispersal between A. aegypti populations in south Florida, which could be one contributor to successful establishment and persistence of this invasive species in Florida.

Book excerpt: "The Mosquito Wars is a fascinating chronicle of the history of mosquito control in Florida over the past century. It details the positive contributions made by the profession's many managers and scientists. This work thoroughly describes how this profession has helped make Florida habitable and also puts the environmental controversies of mosquito control in the proper perspective."--Douglas Carlson, Indian River Mosquito Control District "The Mosquito Wars is an entertaining, accurate description of how mosquito control has developed in Florida to its current state."--Dennis Moore, editor-in-chief, Wing Beats The Mosquito Wars presents a comprehensive and insightful analysis of the development of human efforts to wage war on mosquitoes in 20th-century Florida. Drawing on archival records, interviews, and published records, Gordon Patterson provides readers with a context for understanding how mosquito control has shaped the environment of contemporary Florida. Patterson reveals how the discovery that yellow fever, malaria, and dengue fever were mosquito-borne diseases had a profound impact on Florida's development in the first half of the 20th century. State agencies organized campaigns from Pensacola to Key West against the disease-bearing insects. World War II opened a new era in mosquito control; the United States Department of Agriculture pioneered the use of DDT as an insecticide, and by 1944 army and navy pilots were regularly flying anti-mosquito missions. The 1950s ushered in a new objective--to reduce not only disease-bearing mosquitoes but also pest and nuisance mosquitoes. The growing problem of chemical resistance, however, led to the use of new and more powerful pesticides, raising concerns about the environmental impact of these chemicals on biologically sensitive wetlands. The ensuing controversy resulted in the rewriting of mosquito control laws in 1986. The continuing occurrences of encephalitis and the recent arrival of the West Nile virus, both transmitted by mosquitoes, dictate that mosquito control will continue to play a vital role in protecting the public's health and welfare. The Mosquito Wars presents a balanced, entertaining, and informative examination of this often heroic and sometimes tragic history of the battle to control mosquitoes in Florida. Gordon Patterson is professor of history at the Florida Institute of Technology, Melbourne.
Download or read book Mosquitoes and Their Control written by Norbert Becker and published by Springer. This book was released on 2011-09-24 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mosquitoes and Their Control presents a wealth of information on the bionomics, systematics, ecology, research techniques and control of both nuisance and disease vector mosquitoes in an easily readable style, providing practical guidelines and important information for professionals and laymen alike. Ninety-two European species and more than 100 globally important vector and nuisance species are included in the book. Most of them, including all European species, are described in the fully illustrated identification keys, followed by a detailed description of the morphology, biology, distribution and medical importance of each species, including over 700 detailed drawings. Mosquitoes and Their Control includes: systematics and biology, medical significance, research techniques, illustrated identification keys for larval and adult mosquito general, morphology, ecology, and distribution of the species identified in the keys, biological, chemical, physical and genetic control of mosquitoes. Mosquitoes and Their Control is a valuable tool for vector ecologists, entomologists, and all those involved with mosquito control, biology, ecology, and systematics world-wide. It will especially benefit those professionals, scientists and students dealing with mosquitoes and their control on a day-to-day basis. Society as a whole stands to gain from improved, environmentally responsible mosquito management programs designed on the basis of a broader understanding of mosquitoes and their control, as provided in this enlightening book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Important information about yellow fever mosquito Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) and the identification and quantification of the main Brazilian breeding sites for this vector are highlighted in this chapter. Although most of the control actions have been directed to the adult (winged) phase of the vector, the reduction of immature forms (eggs and larvae) of Aedes is the most important way to control these insects, especially to eliminate breeding sites. These are, in principle, the most important targets for mosquito population control in order to reduce infestation and, consequently, the transmission and incidence of diseases transmitted by insect vectors. Thus, this chapter presents a compilation and discussion that allows comparing characteristics and similarities of Aedes species.
