Faced with the invasion of the giant African snail, Lissachatina fulica, the objective of the present study was to determine the role of empty giant African snail shells as mosquito breeding sites. Three experiments were performed under field conditions in four microenvironments on the banks of the Lili River in the city of Cali. Additionally, two artificial containers (motorcycle tires and plastic cups) were placed in each microenvironment. In experiments 1 and 2, the empty giant African snail shells of different sizes, which contained a previously determined water volume, were positioned in 4 selected microenvironments. In experiment 3, empty giant African snail shells of different sizes were also located in the four microenvironments during the rainy season, and the water volume in each shell was the result of natural rainfall accumulation. The variables final water volume, shell size, and mosquito density were evaluated in the three experiments, using a total of 92 shells. The dominant mosquito species identified were Limatus durhamii, Aedes albopictus, and Ae. aegpti. Experiment 1 revealed that giant African snail shells measuring less than 60 mm had limited breeding potential, whereas experiment 3 showed that shells larger than 100 mm had higher numbers of mosquito larvae. There was a significant association between shell size, water volume, and mosquito density. A total of 757 mosquitoes were identified. This is the first exploratory study under field conditions in Colombia to evaluate empty giant African snail shells as breeding sites for mosquitos of public health importance. Results of this study provide new information that should be considered in control strategies in areas with concomitant presence of giant African snails. Entomological findings and their epidemiological importance are discussed.","PeriodicalId":17192,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association","volume":"41 2","pages":"50-60"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144667912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their high adaptability, attraction to humans, and variable adult behaviors make them a significant health concern. The focus on Aedes aegypti is significant for reducing vector-human contacts, monitoring insecticide resistance, and developing innovative vector management strategies. Given the scarcity of studies on Ae. aegypti in the western region of Saudi Arabia, this research is a significant step forward. The study aims to analyze the genetic variations and conduct a phylogenetic study of forty Ae. aegypti samples collected from Taif and Jeddah governorates of Saudi Arabia. The mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) locus was targeted for genetic variance and phylogenetic analysis. Sequences of COI of Ae. aegypti isolates were submitted to the DNA Data Bank of Japan (DDBJ) and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) Genbank and compared with other global Aedes species isolates. The phylogenetic analysis shows that Ae. aegypti samples from Jeddah have identities ranging from 96.9% to 99.8%, closely related to the Peru (MN299016) and Cambodia (MN299014) isolates. Taif isolates have genetic similarities ranging from 97.5% to 99.8%, closely related to the Germany (KY022526) isolate. Sequence alignment and pairwise comparison show variation among the populations of Ae. aegypti from Taif and Jeddah regions (74.24-98.84%) with a genetic divergence distance of 0.008-0.12. In comparison, ranges slightly change with other Ae. aegypti (79.92-95.96%, 0.008-0.01) as well as Ae. albopictus populations (74.13-83.58%, 0.13-0.20) found in the Genbank database. According to our findings, the present study provides information for a local variation of Ae. aegypti in the western region of Saudi Arabia that could help in disease mapping and risk mitigation, thereby enhancing our ability to manage disease vectors effectively.","PeriodicalId":17192,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association","volume":" ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142950707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditional manual counting methods are labor intensive and prone to human error, highlighting the need for automated systems. This study presents a stand-alone automated mosquito egg counting system using a Raspberry Pi computer, high-quality camera, light-emitting diode ring light source, and a Python script leveraging the Open Source Computer Vision library. Linear regression analysis comparing automated and manual counts yielded a slope of 1.009 and an R2 value of 0.999, indicating a strong correlation between the methods. Bland-Altman analysis showed a bias of -0.5, with 95% limits of agreement ranging from -11.88 to 10.88. These results demonstrate the high accuracy and reliability of this system in laboratory settings. The automated system's portability, cost-effectiveness, and independence from an external computer make it particularly useful for diverse research environments. Variability in egg size and potential inaccuracies in field conditions with multiple mosquito species highlight areas for further refinement, and future work will focus on optimizing the counting algorithm and validating its performance across different mosquito species and rearing conditions to enhance its applicability in vector research.","PeriodicalId":17192,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association","volume":" ","pages":"43-46"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143023869","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aedes japonicus is an invasive mosquito species of known ecologic and public health importance that has widely spread throughout the eastern USA since initially being recognized in Connecticut in 1998. Here, we report the known distributions of Ae. japonicus within the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GSMNP) since its initial recognition in the park in 2004. From 2006 to 2022, we sampled eggs, larvae, and adult life stages through targeted, haphazard, and convenience collections. Through these efforts, we surveyed 23 (54.7%) of the 42 watersheds within the GSMNP. Aedes japonicus was present in 19 (82.6%) of the sampled watersheds, and the species was confirmed, in some instances, at the same location over multiple years, suggesting it remains entrenched. This species was observed in 45.2% of the GSMNP watersheds at elevations ranging from 347 to 1,478 m. Naturally occurring containers (i.e., riverine rock pools) were common collection sites in this study. The results of our findings are presented in the context of the species distribution within the park, the public health relevance given the GSMNP's public visitation rate (>12 million annually), potential species interactions, and the persistence of this species over the multiyear study.","PeriodicalId":17192,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association","volume":" ","pages":"34-38"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143007584","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These traps use the same principles for attracting gravid Ae. aegypti females as traditional ovitraps, such as dark colors, standing water, and decomposing plant materials. The traps differ in size, AGO being the biggest and SGT the smallest. Average captures of female Ae. aegypti per trap per week were 11.1, 7.2, and 1.7 in AGO, GAT, and SGT traps, respectively, a pattern consistent with the sizes of the traps. These results indicated that GAT traps and SGT traps captured 35.5% and 84.7% fewer females of Ae. aegypti, respectively, than AGO traps. Although Ae. aegypti was present in all 20 sites during the 8 wk of observations, AGO, GAT, and SGT traps did not catch specimens in 1, 9, and 58 out of 160 observations per trap type (trap-wk), respectively. Trap failures were 1, 6, and 1 for the AGO, GAT, and SGT traps, respectively. Despite the absence of females of Ae. aegypti at some sites and weeks in each of the traps, all 3 traps were able to detect the presence of this mosquito at each of the 20 sites during the 8 wk of observations and could be used for Ae. aegypti surveillance.","PeriodicalId":17192,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association","volume":" ","pages":"47-49"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142877437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
