Ixodid populations, especially larvae, in the saline areas are mostly negligible because of saltwater toxicity to eggs, desiccation, and predators. Soil salinity, U. rapax populations, and ant foraging activity were determined for areas dominated by B. frutescens, areas with intermediate stands, and areas without the plant. Borrichia frutescens density and U. rapax populations were moderately correlated with soil salinity, but predatory ant foraging was not correlated with soil salinity, B. frutescens density, and U. rapax abundance. Borrichia frutescens stand density, however, was strongly correlated with numbers of U. rapax holes, hence, the plant is an indicator of negligible ixodid activity. GIS mapping of high-Borrichia habitats might be useful for refining surveillance of ixodid populations, particularly one-host ixodids, such as R.

We assessed the efficacy of a deltamethrin-incorporated net to reduce contact of Culicoides and mosquitoes with livestock. On cervid farms, reduction of biting-midges in light traps was assessed for traps surrounded by deltamethrin-treated nets, untreated nets, or no-net controls. Significantly fewer Culicoides were collected in pens surrounded by untreated nets compared to no-net, and further significant reductions were achieved with deltamethrin-treated nets. Similar results were observed on a subsistence poultry and swine farm. Total Culicoides and mosquito abundance and abundance of blood-fed females was significantly reduced in light-trap collections after surrounding livestock units with a deltamethrin-treated net.

Owing to its consumption of various invertebrates, including mosquito larvae, it is considered a potential biological control agent of vector species. However, studies on the general biology of Lt. vorax are scarce; thus, our understanding of its role in natural habitats is limited. To elucidate its ecological role with regard to its interaction with vector species populations, we conducted field monitoring surveys in two different deciduous forests in South Korea, using tire traps for larvae in 2023. Community samples of mosquito larvae were collected every three weeks (July to September, 2023) from each trap, which replicated the natural container environment in forest areas. Then, community structures were compared based on the presence or absence of Lt. vorax. Communities with Lt. vorax larvae exhibited distinct structures characterized by lower species richness, diversity, and vector species density. Furthermore, non-metric multidimensional scaling results showed that the group structure differed depending on the presence of Lt. vorax larvae. Gut content analysis of the predaceous larvae supported the evidence of top-down regulation of Lt. vorax with considerable predation rates on other mosquito larvae in each habitat: 63.92 ± 30.72% in Site A and 72.85 ± 18.03% in Site B (mean ± SD). Thus, we suggest that Lt. vorax serves as both a significant natural enemy and key predator species in container habitats in the forested areas of Korea.","PeriodicalId":56065,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vector Ecology","volume":"50 2","pages":"101-110"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145795665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, new trap models that use LED lights might provide a more cost-effective alternative. This study compared the efficacy of a modified commercial Katchy light trap with two CDC light trap models in capturing sand flies in the Amazonian rainforest of Peru. Using a 3 x 3 randomized Latin square design, the light traps were compared based on phlebotomine sand fly species total abundance, species richness, sex-specific collections, and efficiency in capturing potential vector species. A total of 1,184 sand flies were collected, representing nine genera and 25 species, including three species that had not been previously reported in the Cusco department. Significant differences in sand fly collections based on trap type were found, with the modified Katchy light trap capturing significantly higher total abundance and species richness compared to CDC light traps. This pattern held for both female and male sand flies, with the modified Katchy trap also collecting more potential vector species in terms of both abundance and species richness, although differences in potential vector species richness were only significant compared to the incandescent CDC light trap. These results suggest that the modified Katchy trap is a viable, cost-effective alternative for sand fly surveillance, offering potential improvements in leishmaniasis vector monitoring.","PeriodicalId":56065,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vector Ecology","volume":"50 1","pages":"60-68"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144602368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The association of climatic and environmental factors with the spatiotemporal distribution of species in relation to vegetation cover and human proximity was examined. Twelve geo-referenced ovitraps were randomly installed in each park, covering areas with varying degrees of vegetation and human activity from September, 2018 to February, 2020, during three weeks each season. A total of 57,604 Aedes aegypti or Aedes albopictus eggs were collected, identifying 10,228 Ae. aegypti and 23,764 Ae. albopictus larvae. Seasonal variations showed distinct patterns with higher mosquito abundances during warmer and rainier seasons. The association between abundance and climatic factors was more evident at the level of the aedini assemblies than at the level of the local populations. Aedes aegypti was predominantly found in peripheral and transitional areas with higher human activity during rainy and warmer seasons. In contrast, Ae. albopictus thrived in inner park areas with greater vegetation cover and lower human activity during drier and milder seasons. The abundance of Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus was influenced by climatic factors and park-specific microhabitats. These findings underscore the importance of targeted vector control strategies in urban park settings during seasons favorable for mosquito reproduction. Understanding the interaction between ecological factors and these mosquitoes in urban environments is critical for effective public health interventions.","PeriodicalId":56065,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vector Ecology","volume":"50 1","pages":"48-59"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144602373","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These findings were corroborated by generalized linear mixed models, which highlighted location-specific effects and seasonal variations in physicochemical parameters associated with oviposition. Our study also explored polarized light as a potential oviposition cue. While a direct causal link between polarized light patterns and oviposition requires further investigation, a positive correlation between pH levels and circularly polarized light patterns suggests a potential interaction between water chemistry and this optical cue.
