A field study investigated penetration of outdoor ground ultra-low-volume (ULV) aerosol and thermal fog adulticide applications into a dwelling to control the dengue vector Aedes aegypti (L). Four applications of Kontrol 4-4 (4.6% permethrin active ingredient [AI], 4.6% piperonyl butoxide) at the maximum label rate were made at 25-30 m in front of a house at Camp Blanding Joint Training Center, Starke, FL, during summer 2016. The ULV sprayer and thermal fogger nozzles were oriented horizontally, and vehicle travel speeds were 16 and 24 km/h, respectively. All doors and windows of the house were left open. Spray efficacy was assessed using caged female mosquitoes positioned 30 cm above ground, outside and inside of the house. Interior cages were placed in open areas and cryptic sites (i.e., in a closet or cardboard box). A spinner holding 2 rods sized 3 mm × 75 mm was deployed next to each cage (except cryptic sites) to sample droplets and to quantify AI deposition. Thirty minutes after application, cages were removed, slides collected, and mosquitoes transferred to clean cages in the laboratory where mortality was assessed at 24 h posttreatment. The ULV application to the south side of the house produced 100% mortality in outdoor and indoor cages and 24% mortality at cryptic sites. Similarly applied thermal fog resulted in 85% mortality outdoors, 34% indoors, and only 4% in cages at cryptic sites. Application of either method from the west resulted in 19-61% mortality outdoors and 0.5-6.5% indoors. Droplet volume median diameter (Dv0.5) on rods from the ULV application was significantly larger compared with the thermal fogger outdoors, but similar indoors. Outdoors and indoors, the AI deposition from ULV was significantly higher than from thermal fog. Our results show the potential for controlling dengue vectors inside houses with outdoor ground ULV applications in areas where doors and windows are left open for ventilation.Little is known regarding the comparative source-sink relationships between primary mosquito breeding sites (source) and neighboring (sink) environments in heterogeneous landscapes. An exploration of those relationships may provide unique insights into the utility of open-space buffer zone mitigation strategies currently being considered by urban planners to reduce contact between mosquitoes and humans. We investigated the source-sink relationships between a highly productive mosquito habitat and adjacent residential (developed) and rural (undeveloped) coastal environments. Our results suggest that source-sink relationships are unaffected by environment. This conclusion is supported by the high level of synchronicity in daily saltmarsh mosquito abundance observed among all surveyed environments (β = 0.67-0.79, P less then 0.001). selleck chemical This synchronicity occurred despite the uniqueness of each surveyed environment and the considerable distances of open water and land (2.2-2.6 km) between them. Trap catches, which we interpret as expected mosquito biting nuisance, were high in both residential and rural coastal landscapes (309.4 ± 52.84 and 405.3 ± 62.41 mosquitoes/day, respectively). These observations suggest that existing and planned open-space buffer zones will do little to reduce the biting burden caused by highly vagile saltmarsh mosquitoes. This strengthens the need for empirically informed planning guidelines that alert urban planners to the real risks of human residential encroachment on land that is close to highly vagile mosquito habitat.Aedes albopictus is an important vector of several arboviruses that affect human health worldwide; thus, knowledge of its distribution is a key factor for the implementation of disease control strategies. In Mexico, Ae. albopictus was recorded for the first time in 1988 in Tamaulipas State (northeast), but currently it has been recorded in 14 of the 32 states in the country. In 2012, it was recorded for the first time in a single locality in Quintana Roo (Cancún). In this study, we provide new distribution information for Ae. albopictus in the center and south of Quintana Roo State and comment on its medical importance.Four mosquito species-Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus) galvaoi, An. (Anopheles) mediopunctatus, Culex (Culex) lahillei, and Uranotaenia (Uranotaenia) geométrica-were recorded for the first time in northwestern Argentina. In addition, Psorophora (Grabhamia) confinnis and Cx. (Melanoconion) pedroi are reported for the first time in Jujuy Province, while Aedes (Ochlerotatus) hastatus, Coquillettidia (Rhynchotaenia) hermanoi, An. (Ano.) fluminensis, and An. (Ano.) punctimacula were reported for the first time in Tucumán Province.A field study was carried out on the year-long residual activity of the insect growth regulator (IGR) pyriproxyfen (Nylar 0.5G) in comparison with methoprene (Altosid® XRP Pellets) against mosquito developmental stages in catch basins in northwestern Riverside County, southern California. Pyriproxyfen was applied at 75, 100, 125, 150, 175 g per catch basin and methoprene at 3.5 g per catch basin. A total of 80 catch basins (10 per each treatment and 20 for control) were used. Posttreatment observations of catch basins were carried out at weekly intervals, with all pupal collections reared to adults. Mosquito species composition in this study, consisting mostly of Culex species (693), was predominated by Cx. quinquefasciatus (92.8%), followed by Cx. erythrothorax (5.5%), Cx. tarsalis (1.2%), Cx. stigmatosoma (0.3%), and Cx. thriambus (0.2%). Activity of both IGRs was expressed as percent inhibition of adult emergence (% IAE). Data generated on % IAE showed that, like methoprene, pyriproxyfen provided complete control of mosquitoes at 75, 125, and 175 g per catch basin up to 50 wk posttreatment at the Riverside amusement park, whereas its activity against mosquitoes in catch basins treated with 100 g and 150 g at the Eastvale site was short-lived, up to 48 wk. Water samples, bioassayed against laboratory-reared, 4th-stage larvae of Cx. quinquefasciatus 1-2 wk after the 50-wk-long study, showed evidence of significant % IAE (∼50) by pyriproxyfen at the 2 higher rates (125 g, 175 g) used at the amusement park. In conclusion, pyriproxyfen can be used to effectively control mosquitoes in catch basins for 48-50 wk, depending on the rate of application.
