Evaluation of behavioral response of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes to repellents using a novel olfactometer

Creator:: Doğan, Elif Barc̦in
Abstract:: Mosquito-borne pathogens are the cause of important, often deadly diseases worldwide; and, use of repellents is one of the components of mosquito control programs. The most effective mosquito repellent is N,N-dimethyl-m-toluamide, known as DEET. Speculation on the adverse effects of DEET have been on the rise since the 1980s, and...

A lysozyme-like protein in the salivary glands of adult Aedes aegypti : functional and biochemical characteristics

Creator:: Pimentel, Gliceria Estandian, 1958-
Abstract:: This study investigated some functional and biochemical characteristics of a bacteriolytic protein in the salivary glands of adult Aedes aecupti. A method for the isolation of this protein from other mosquito salivary gland components is also described. Based on some of its biochemical properties, this bacteriolytic protein can be classified...

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...

Effects of nucleosomes on transcription by polymerase I in a reconstituted system

Creator:: Georgel, Philippe, 1961-
Abstract:: The aim of this study was to gain more information about the interactions between DNA and the histone octamer during the process of transcription. This work used a pUC8 plasmid derivative that contained the core promoter region of the RNA polymerase I of Acanthamoeba castellanii, placed upstream of four repeats...

Predicting the stability, equilibrium response, and nonequilibrium dynamics of ecological systems

Creator:: Hosack, Geoffrey R.
Abstract:: In this dissertation, new theory and its applications are developed to predict three properties of complex ecological communities: stability, equilibrium response, and non-equilibrium dynamics. First, a graph-theoretic analysis identifies the interconnections in a complex ecosystem that promote or diminish stability (Chapter 2). The hierarchy of interactions that influences stability and...

Examining parameters of vectorial capacity for mosquitoes associated with stormwater catch basins in Corvallis, Oregon

Creator:: Townzen, Jill S.
Abstract:: This research examines two of parameters of vectorial capacity for mosquitoes associated with catch basins in Corvallis, Oregon. The parameters of interest were determining 1) abundance of the mosquito species associated with the catch basins and 2) feeding patterns of local mosquito species. Three species of mosquitoes were collected from...

Prey-stage preference in phytoseiid mites

Creator:: Blackwood, J. Scott
Abstract:: Knowledge of how individual organisms behave in their environment can provide a greater understanding of population dynamics. In a predator-prey system, the choices made by predators when foraging for prey are important aspects of behavior. Particularly in the case of a stage-structured prey population, how the predator selects prey stages...

Triangular billiards surfaces and translation covers

Creator:: Schmurr, Jason Peter
Abstract:: We identify all translation covers among triangular billiards surfaces. Our main tools are the J-invariant of Kenyon and Smillie and a property of triangular billiards surfaces, which we call fingerprint type, that is invariant under balanced translation covers.
