“…An adult female can have multiple gonotrophic cycles. Burdick and Kardos [ 46 ] observed the numbers of female C. tarsalis , after overwintering, that experienced oviposition. At most four cycles were observed-no mosquitoes survived for a fifth oviposition, and the average number of gonotrophic cycles was 1.10, which is the value used in our model.…”

Predicting outbreaks: a spatial risk assessment of West Nile virus in British Columbia

et al. 2006

Background: West Nile virus (WNv) has recently emerged as a health threat to the North American population. After the initial disease outbreak in New York City in 1999, WNv has spread widely and quickly across North America to every contiguous American state and Canadian province, with the exceptions of British Columbia (BC), Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland. In this study we develop models of mosquito population dynamics for Culex tarsalis and C. pipiens, and create a spatial risk assessment of WNv prior to its arrival in BC by creating a raster-based mosquito abundance model using basic geographic and temperature data. Among the parameters included in the model are spatial factors determined from the locations of BC Centre for Disease Control mosquito traps (e.g., distance of the trap from the closest wetland or lake), while other parameters were obtained from the literature. Factors not considered in the current assessment but which could influence the results are also discussed.

Field tests were conducted annually near Delhi, Ontario from 1977 to 1981 to evaluate blacklight and sex attractant traps for monitoring adult populations of the darksided cutworm, Euxoa messoria (Harris), in the major tobacco-producing area. There were no significant differences between the catches of sex attractant traps set at 1.0 m and 0.5 m above ground level. Sex attractant traps were superior to blacklight traps for monitoring populations of this pest species. There was a variation in abundance from year to year, but the time of peak occurrence of E. messoria adults was the same in each of the 5 years.

“…Fat body and ovarian development were evaluated in all females. The quantity of fat body in the abdomen was rated on a scale of 0 to 3, 0 being no fat and 3 being fully distended with fat (Burdick and Kardos 1963). Ovarian follicular development was assessed using the classification of Christophers (191 1).…”

A total of 72 overwintering Anopheles earlei Vargas was collected from southern Manitoba during December 1980 and 1981. These mosquitoes were maintained at 15 °or 20 °C, and a photoperiod of 8L: 16D. Forty-two females were offered a blood meal and 25 of these fed. Extensive fat body development was seen in the blood-fed females collected in 1980; this was not seen in collections from 1981. Gonotrophic dissociation was observed in 24 of the blood-fed females.
