Influence of host anemia on blood-feeding rate and egg production of Aedes aegypti (L.) (Diptera : Culicidae)

Creator:

Shieh, Jong-Neng

Abstract:

I tested a theoretical model proposing that anemia favors transmission of blood-borne parasites to vectors by accelerating the blood-feeding rate. Using Aedes aegypti, the yellow fever mosquito, initially, I was not able to confirm this phenomenon either in an artificial or a live system; anemia did not correlate with blood-feeding...

Salivation and engorgement parameters of sucking insect vectors : implications in pathogen transmission

Creator:

Shieh, Jong-neng

Abstract:

The probing behavior and feeding activity of green peach aphid, Myzus persicae Sulzer, on Bacillus thuringiensis ssp. tenebrionis- transgenic potatoes, insecticide treated potatoes, and host plants with different preference were electronically monitored. I found that first, transgenic potatoes had no effect on green peach aphid probing suggesting that transmission of...
