vector competence of selected north american culex and Coquillettidia mosquitoes for west nile virus
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2001Co-Authors: Michael R Sardelis, Michael J Turell, David J Dohm, Fort DetrickAbstract:To control West Nile virus (WNV), it is necessary to know which mosquitoes are able to transmit this virus. Therefore, we evaluated the WNV vector potential of several North American mosquito species. Culex restuans and Cx. salinarius, two species from which WNV was isolated in New York in 2000, were efficient laboratory vectors. Cx. quinquefasciatus and Cx. nigripalpus from Florida were competent but only moderately efficient vectors. Coquillettidia perturbans was an inefficient laboratory vector. As WNV extends its range, exposure of additional mosquito species may alter its epidemiology.

Ultrastructure of the egg of Coquillettidia venezuelensis (Theobald) (Diptera: Culicidae).
Zootaxa, 2020Co-Authors: Cecilia Ferreira De Mello, Jeronimo AlencarAbstract:This study examined the ultrastructural characteristics of the egg of Coquillettidia venezuelensis (Theobald) (Diptera: Culicidae) with the aid of scanning electron microscopy. The eggs are elliptical and blackish, measuring on average 525.3 ± 12.8 μm in length and 94.9 ± 5.14 μm in width, with a length to width ratio of 5.54 ± 0.18. The anterior region of the egg is tubuliform, with a well-developed micropylar collar measuring approximately 2.54 ± 0.33 μm in thickness, the inner side of which is uniformly and deeply excavated, with a depression around the outer margin of the micropylar disc, which has a diameter of 29.4 ± 1.7 μm, an area of 234.4 μm2 ± 401.3 μm2 and a slightly elevated central region measuring 1.7 ± 0.5 μm in diameter that bears the central micropyle.

New report on the bionomics of Coquillettidia venezuelensis in temporary breeding sites (Diptera: Culicidae)
Revista Da Sociedade Brasileira De Medicina Tropical, 2011Co-Authors: Jeronimo Alencar, Juliana Barreto Pacheco, Fabiana Fagundes Correa, Júlia Dos Santos Silva, Anthony Érico GuimarãesAbstract:INTRODUCTION: Findings of immature forms of Coquillettidia venezuelensis in temporary breeding sites, without the presence of aquatic plants or other submerged plant tissue are reported. METHODS: A systematic scooping technique to collect specimens was used at the breeding site. RESULTS: Immature forms of Coquillettidia venezuelensis, Anopheles rangeli, An. evansae and Culex sp. were collected from areas of the hydroelectric power station of Sao Salvador, State of Goias. CONCLUSIONS This is a novel finding relating to the bioecology of Cq. venezuelensis, a species of medical interest that has been found naturally infected with arboviruses, including Oropouche and West Nile virus.
