“…There are possibilities of a summer generation, at least in warm summers as in 1901 in Finland (possibly A. messeae )[9,12]. A. claviger hibernates as larvae [33] and, at least in England, seems to be bivoltine [34]. In Finland, the majority of the hibernating females reach the adult stage in the middle of August.…”

Potential vectors of equine arboviruses in the UK

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

There is growing concern about the increasing risk of disease outbreaks caused by arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) in both human beings and animals. There are several mosquito-borne viral diseases that cause varying levels of morbidity and mortality in horses and that can have substantial welfare and economic ramifications. While none has been recorded in the UK, vector species for some of these viruses are present, suggesting that UK equines may be at risk. The authors undertook, therefore, the first study of mosquito species on equine premises in the UK. Mosquito magnet traps and red-box traps were used to sample adults, and larvae were collected from water sources such as tyres, buckets, ditches and pools. Several species that are known to be capable of transmitting important equine infectious arboviruses were trapped. The most abundant, with a maximum catch of 173 in 72 hours, was Ochlerotatus detritus, a competent vector of some flaviviruses; the highest densities were found near saltmarsh habitats. The most widespread species, recorded at >75 per cent of sites, was Culiseta annulata. This study demonstrates that potential mosquito vectors of arboviruses, including those known to be capable of infecting horses, are present and may be abundant on equine premises in the UK.

“…More recently, Service (1973) and Mullen (1975b) supported Gillett's view. The present study is also in conformity with the findings of Gillett (1957) i.e., 80% of the total mite infested mosquitoes examined so far, for physiological age determination, were found to be nulliparous.…”

A study relating to seasonal prevalence and host visitation of Mansonia mosquitoes in Trivandrum city was carried out between August 1984 and July 1985. The area chosen was the one which is a perennial breeding source for Mansonia mosquitoes. Only Mansonia uniformis and Mansonia annulifera were prevalent in this area of which the former was found to be the predominant species. Decrease in the number of Mansonia annulifera from the survey conducted during the previous year may be due to the disappearance of Pistia stratiotes and its replacement by Salvinia auriculata. Rainfall and temperature are the two important environmental factors which influence the number of Mansonia mosquitoes visiting the host. The maximum number of adults of Mansonia uniformis was collected during February to June 1985. No swarm of Mansonia uniformis was encountered during the present study, however, males were found to wait and mate with the resting as well as blood fed females in the vicinity of the host. Both sexes of Mansonia mosquitoes were parasitized by Arrenurus and limnesiid species of water mites. Maximum parasitization was seen during July 1985.

The biology of Anopheles claviger (Mg.) (Dipt., Culicidae) in southern England

Abstract: The biology of Anopheles claviger (Mg.) was studied for a varying number of years in three localities in southern England. The fluctuations in the proportions of the larval instars and pupae were studied by weekly sampling throughout the year.
