Vector Competence of <I>Culex pipiens molestus</I> (Diptera: Culicidae) from Taiwan for a Sympatric Strain of Japanese Encephalitis Virus

“…This species is known to frequent underground sites (Byrne & Nichols 1999;King et al 1960). Indeed, Cx.…”

The plasticity of extracellular fluid homeostasis in insects

“…The absorption replaces ions that are lost by diffusion and sacrificed in the renal excretion of water. The size of the anal papillae increases with decreasing osmotic concentration of the external environment, which is thought to reflect increased transport activity (Bickley, 1945;King et al, 1939;Nayar and Sauerman, 1974;Wigglesworth, 1939). Fig.…”

New County Records Demonstrating a Northern Expansion of Mansonia titillans in South Carolina, USA

“…Separation of Mansonia species from Coquillettidia perturbans (Walker) may be difficult the 1st time Mansonia is encountered. Coquillettidia perturbans is common in the MidAtlantic region, particularly in late spring and early summer (King et al 1960), and shares similar characters with Mansonia, such as the same size, posture, large pale and dark scales on the wing, a broadly rounded abdominal apex, and pale basal bands on the abdomen. Unlike Mansonia though, Cq.…”

“…Unlike Mansonia though, Cq. perturbans are lighter in color, lack postspiracular setae, have a broad median pale band on hindtarsomere 1, and have a distinct preapical pale band on the hind tibia (King et al 1960, Burkett-Cadena 2013.…”
