Probing behaviour and sporozoite delivery by Anopheles stephensi infected with Plasmodium bergheiMedical and Veterinary Entomology - Tập 6 Số 1 - Trang 57-61 - 1992
Xiaohong Li, Barbara Sina, Philippe A. Rossignol
Abstract. We observed that Plasmodium berghei sporozoite‐infected Anopheles
stephensi was not impaired in its ability to locate blood on a host. When
probing rats, infected mosquitoes took as long as non‐infected mosquitoes to
locate blood.Contrary to previous suggestions, infective mosquitoes delivered
sporozoites into mineral oil even after extensively probing a vertebrate host.
We observed that... hiện toàn bộ

The value of chorionic structure and size in the diagnosis of blowfly eggsMedical and Veterinary Entomology - Tập 3 Số 3 - Trang 281-285 - 1989
Y.Z. Erzinçlioğlu
ABSTRACT. Chorionic structure and size can be of great value in the
identification of the eggs of British blowflies of forensic importance. The most
useful features are the shape and structure of the plastronic area between the
hatching pleats. Correct identification of the eggs of the species considered
here would be of use in forensic investigations, not only in Britain, but also
in the wide are... hiện toàn bộ
Effects of temephos and temperature onWolbachiaload and life history traits ofAedes albopictusMedical and Veterinary Entomology - Tập 20 Số 3 - Trang 300-307 - 2006
S. WIWATANARATANABUTR, Pattamaporn Kittayapong
AbstractMaternally inheritedWolbachia(gram‐negative bacteria) often affect the
reproductive fitness of their arthropod hosts and may cause cytoplasmic
incompatibility (CI). ComparingWolbachia‐infected and uninfected strains of the
mosquitoAedes albopictus(Skuse) (Diptera: Culicidae), we assessed the effects on
fitness of two stressors: temperature elevation (25°C vs. 37°C) and exposure to
temephos... hiện toàn bộ
Ectoparasites of Chevrier’s field mouse, Apodemus chevrieri, in a focus of plague in southwest ChinaMedical and Veterinary Entomology - Tập 21 Số 3 - Trang 297-300 - 2007
Xingyuan Men, Xian‐Guo Guo, Wen-Ge Dong, Niu Ai-qin, Ti-Jun Qian, Dian Wu
Abstract Chevrier’s field mouse, Apodemus chevrieri Milne−Edwards (Rodentia:
Muridae), has been identified as the main wild reservoir of plague in the
sylvatic plague focus of Yunnan Province, southwest China. Here, the
ectoparasite communities of A. chevrieri and the potential medical and
veterinary importance of these ectoparasites are described. A high proportion
(66%) of 321 mice were found to... hiện toàn bộ
Abundances and host relationships of chigger mites in Yunnan Province, ChinaMedical and Veterinary Entomology - Tập 27 Số 2 - Trang 194-202 - 2013

This paper reports on ectoparasitic chigger mites found on small mammals in
Yunnan Province, southwest China. Data were accumulated from 19 investigation
sites (counties) between 2001 and 2009. A total of 10 222 small mammal hosts
were captured and identified; these represented 62 species, 34 genera and 11
families in five orders. From the body surfaces of these 10 222 hosts, a total
of 92 990 chi... hiện toàn bộ

AbstractThe Yunnan red‐backed voleEothenomys miletus(Rodentia: Cricetidae) is an
endemic rodent species and reservoir host of zoonoses in southwest China. Based
on a large host sample (2463 voles collected from 39 localities between 2001 and
2013), a general analysis of four categories of ectoparasite (fleas, sucking
lice, chigger mites and gamasid mites) onE. miletusacross its entire range of

AbstractTick‐borne disease surveillance and research rely on resource‐effective
methods for tick collection. This study compared the respective performances of
several trapping methods in a mixed grassland–forest habitat in western
Tennessee. To test for temporal differences in effectiveness, sites were sampled
monthly (April–August 2013) using dry ice, dragging, flagging, sweep netting,

Species, developmental stage and infection with microbial pathogens of engorged ticks removed from dogs and questing ticksMedical and Veterinary Entomology - Tập 26 Số 4 - Trang 440-446 - 2012

Research into tick‐borne diseases implies vector sampling and the detection and
identification of microbial pathogens. Ticks were collected simultaneously from
dogs that had been exposed to tick bites and by flagging the ground in the area
in which the dogs had been exposed. In total, 200 ticks were sampled, of which
104 came from dogs and 96 were collected by flagging. These ticks were
