Abstract:: This study describes and quantifies some microprocesses of malaria transmission including blood vessel location by Anopheles stephensi and sporozoites delivery of An. stephensi infected by Plasmodium berghei. The study models the effects of malaria parasite-induced changes in probing behavior and mosquito mortality on disease transmisson. Finally, host, vector, and parasitological...

Abstract:: Peppermint, Mentha piperita 'Black Mitcham' was established as a host for tomato spotted wilt virus-impatiens serotype (TSWV-I). TSWV-I infection of peppermint, initially observed in a research greenhouse (Corvallis, OR), included stunting and downward curling of leaves accompanied by bronzing, and occasionally tip necrosis. Young leaves appeared either symptomless, deformed, or...

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...

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...
