Life table, survival and fecundity parameters of Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae) strains from desert and coastal regions of India
2022, Acta TropicaCitation Excerpt :Previously, various lifetime fecundity was reported for Ae. albopictus, as many as 784 (Gubler and Bhattacharya, 1971), 950 (Galliard, 1962; Hawley, 1988), with some studied average of 221 (Nur Aida et al., 2008), 283 (Gubler and Bhattacharya, 1971), 300 to 345 eggs (Gubler, 1970; Gubler and Bhattacharya, 1971;), 105 and 84 (Hamady et al., 2013) and 77 (Nur Aida et al., 2011). Various factors can affect the fecundity of female mosquitoes such as larval/adult nutrition (Yamany and Adham, 2014), the pupal mass or adult size (Armbruster and Hutchinson, 2002), and host species (Gubler, 1970; Hawley, 1988; Xue et al., 2008).
Population structure and genetic diversity of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus in Penang as revealed by mitochondrial DNA cytochrome oxidase I
2020, Saudi Journal of Biological SciencesCitation Excerpt :albopictus have brought considerable interest in multiple researches such as vector competence, insecticide resistance, ecological and evolutionary studies, spatial, temporal and geographical analyses and population genetics study (Kaplan et al., 2010). To date, research in Malaysia has focused on the distribution and abundance (Wan-Norafikah et al., 2012; Rozilawati et al., 2007), ecology and biology of Aedes mosquitoes (Sivanathan, 2006; Nur Aida et al., 2011), mixed breeding (Chen et al., 2006) and genetic engineering (Lacroix et al., 2012). The population genetics study is important as it helps in understanding the epidemiological aspects of dengue and help improving the vector control measures, primarily the genetic control, to prevent or reduce the epidemic impacts in Malaysia.
Effects of temephos resistance on life history traits of Aedes albopictus (Skuse) (Diptera: Culicidae), a vector of arboviruses
2017, Revista Brasileira de EntomologiaCitation Excerpt :One from Gelugor (5°25′00″N, 100°19′00″E), that was previously found resistant to temephos, and the second that showed incipient resistance was collected from the Balik Pulau (5°21′N, 100°14′E) (Rahim et al., 2016). Another wild A. albopictus (USM) population was collected within the main campus area of Universiti Sains Malaysia, USM Penang, which has previously been used in different biological studies (Nur Aida et al., 2008; Nur Aida et al., 2011; Maimusa et al., 2016). Purposely, this strain after screening of insecticides susceptibility status was taken as a control in these experiments.
Contribution of public places in proliferation of dengue vectors in Penang Island, Malaysia
2017, Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical BiomedicineCitation Excerpt :Of the total artificial containers found in this study, plastic types were the most abundant (53.9%), followed by metal (18.8%), cement/clay (9.5%), rubber (8.5%), paper (6.8%) and glass (0.6%). Artificial containers had been observed to comprise 95% of total container positive for immature Aedes in Pulau Pinang with only 4.2% natural containers [16]. Buckets have been found the most abundant and important larval breeding habitats [23–25].
