Rapid population growth in Western Australia has resulted in increased development of land for residential housing, and new developments are often proposed close to water because of intrinsic aesthetic values. However, this placement may place future residents at risk of mosquito-borne disease, of which Ross River virus (RRV) disease is the most common in Australia. Mosquito dispersal data were combined with a spatial analysis of human RRV cases to show that mosquitoes dispersed readily from larval habitat into surrounding low- and high-density residential areas and that residents living within 2 km of mosquito breeding habitat had a significantly higher rate of RRV disease. This finding highlights the importance of planning authorities in state and local governments to consider the implications of mosquito-borne disease risks when assessing residential development applications.

“…Ae. vexans can move to a distance up to 32 km from the breeding site (Brust 1980;Carpenter & LaCasse 1955;Headlee 1945;Sparks et al 1986). In a research on mosquito migration in the Osijek area, the species has been observed 7.7 km from the breeding site (Sudarić Bogojević et al 2007).…”

Seasonal dynamics of mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) in Osijek (Croatia) for the period 1995–2004

The ten year research (1995)(1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004) of adult mosquitoes in the area of Osijek by dry ice baited CDC traps has provided significant information on mosquito species, species prevalence, their dynamics and seasonal activity. A total of 207,136 adult mosquitoes comprising twenty species belonging to the following genera: Anopheles, Ochlerotatus, Aedes, Culex, Coquillettidia, Culiseta and Uranotaenia were collected. The seven most common species collected during this study were: Aedes vexans (75.6%), Ochlerotatus sticticus (13.3%), Culex pipiens complex (5.9%), Anopheles maculipennis complex (1.9%), Oc. cantans (0.9%), Oc. caspius (0.6%) and Oc. excrucians (0.6%). The temporal changes in the relative abundance of the twenty mosquito species in the Osijek area were reflected in three peaks: in May, July and September. Seasonal population dynamics differed between years and between mosquito species in relation to wetland, urban and forest habitats and was influenced by water level of the Drava and the Danube rivers.

“…A high proportion of these genera are rich in open habitat specialist species, often agricultural pests. Many are recorded offshore on oil platforms (Sparks et al 1986) and weather ships (Yoshimatsu 1991), or in unsuitable localities such as deserts (Pedgley & Yathom 1993). They contribute to the rich array of migrant species recorded on Norfolk I., most with resident species also (Holloway 1977(Holloway , 1982.…”

“…21.13) is increasingly being used to track migration (e. g. Drake 1985; Drake & Farrow 1985), and sophisticated climatic back-tracking is often possible (e. g. Larsen & Pedgley (1985), discussing the arrival of Indian butterflies in the Arabian Peninsula). Migrant taxa recorded (Sparks et al 1986) on unmanned oil platforms at 32-160 km off the coast of Texas include many of those listed for remote islands in Table 21.1. In mainland areas, light-trapping on high towers can provide good indications of migrant movements (Gregg et al 1993).…”
