Waveforms from stylet probing of the mosquito Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) measured by AC-DC electropenetrography
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2020)
Electropenetrography (EPG) has been used for many years to visualize unseen stylet probing behaviors of plant-feeding piercing-sucking insects, primarily hemipterans. Yet, EPG has not been extensively used with blood-feeding ...
Updated checklist of the mosquitoes of Oklahoma including new state records and West Nile virus vectors, 2003-06
(The American Mosquito Control Association, 2015-12)
The mosquito fauna of Oklahoma has not been evaluated since 1965 and no report has been published concerning species associated with urban areas in the state. Mosquito collections were conducted as part of the West Nile ...
Involvement of invasive eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana) in the expansion of Amblyomma americanum in Oklahoma
(Society for Vector Ecology, 2017-06)
First record of Aedes japonicus japonicus in Oklahoma, 2017
(The American Mosquito Control Association, 2018-13)
In spring 2017, mosquito larvae were collected from 25 sites across eastern Oklahoma as part of a Zika virus vector surveillance effort. Aedes japonicus japonicus larvae were collected from horse troughs at 2 sites in ...
Sylvatic infestation of Oklahoma reptiles with immature Ixodes scapularis (Acari: Ixodidae)
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2015-09)
Reptiles were collected in nine counties in Oklahoma from September 2002 to May 2004 and examined for Ixodes scapularis (Say) larvae and nymphs to determine seasonal incidence and prevalence of these ticks. In total, 209 ...
Neglected tropical diseases of Namibia: Unsolved mysteries

Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are diseases most commonly found in settings of poverty and are responsible for the morbidity and/or mortality of millions each year. As an upper-middle income country, Namibia is not ...
Differences in mosquito communities in six cities in Oklahoma
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2019-04-05)
Vector-borne diseases in the United States have recently increased as a result of the changing nature of vectors, hosts, reservoirs, pathogens, and the ecological and environmental conditions. Current information on vector ...
Mosquito-borne parasites in the Great Plains: Searching for vectors of nematodes and avian malaria parasites
(Elsevier BV, 2021)
Vector-borne diseases in the United States have recently increased as a result of the changing nature of vectors, hosts, reservoirs, parasite/pathogens, and the ecological and environmental conditions. While most focus has ...
Ingestion of Plasmodium falciparum sporozoites during transmission by anopheline mosquitoes
(American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1992)
We investigated the process of sporozoite transmission during blood feeding for Anopheles gambiae and An. stephensi experimentally infected with Plasmodium falciparum. When infective mosquitoes were fed 22-25 days postinfection ...
Effects of woody plant encroachment by eastern redcedar on mosquito communities in Oklahoma
(Society for Vector Ecology, 2022-07-20)
Woody plant encroachment into grasslands is occurring worldwide, affecting ecosystems in ways that likely influence mosquito-borne disease transmission. In the U.S. Great Plains, encroachment by eastern redcedar (Juniperus ...
