Wyeomyia
Wyeomyia is a genus of mosquitoes first described in 1901 by Frederick Vincent Theobald.Mosquito Taxonomic Inventory: ''Wyeomyia Theobald, 1901'', http://mosquito-taxonomic-inventory.info/simpletaxonomy/term/6251, accessed August 5, 2017. The genus's 140 species can be difficult to characterize because of their diversity and the need for additional taxonomic work to further delineate them. Adults resemble genus ''Limatus'' and ''Sabethes '' mosquitoes more closely than other genera in the New World tribe Sabethini, but differ by their Mesothorax, scutal scales ranging in color from a relatively dull bronzy with a slight metallic sheen in most species, to a metallic gold. There are other distinguishing characters as well.Walter Reed Biosystematics Unit: "Culicidae » Culicinae » Sabethini » ''Wyeomyia''" in ''Systematic Catalog of Culicidae'', http://www.wrbu.org/mqID/mq_gnra/wyeomyia.htm, accessed August 5, 2017.Robin McLeod with additional contributions by V.

Wyeomyia Smithii
''Wyeomyia smithii'', the pitcher plant mosquito, is an inquiline mosquito that completes its pre-adult life cycle in the phytotelma of—that is, the water contained by—the purple pitcher plant, ''Sarracenia purpurea''. In this microcommunity of bacteria, rotifers, protozoa, and midges, ''W. smithii'' is the top-level predator; its presence determines the bacterial species diversity within the pitcher. ''W. smithii'' is not a pest mosquito in general. The northern US population does not consume blood at all, while the southern US populations only consume blood after laying an initial egg batch; even then they appear disinterested in feeding. In fact, it is the only known mosquito to have both obligatory biting and non-biting populations in the same species. Life cycle Description of the life cycle The life cycle of ''Wyeomyia smithii'' begins in either late spring or early fall when the adult female lays her eggs in the phytolema of a purple pitcher plant. The eggs then ge ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Wriggler (mosquito Larva)
Mosquitoes (or mosquitos) are members of a group of almost 3,600 species of small flies within the family Culicidae (from the Latin ''culex'' meaning "gnat"). The word "mosquito" (formed by ''mosca'' and diminutive ''-ito'') is Spanish for "little fly". Mosquitoes have a slender segmented body, one pair of wings, one pair of halteres, three pairs of long hair-like legs, and elongated mouthparts. The mosquito life cycle consists of egg, larva, pupa, and adult stages. Eggs are laid on the water surface; they hatch into motile larvae that feed on aquatic algae and organic material. These larvae are important food sources for many freshwater animals, such as dragonfly nymphs, many fish, and some birds such as ducks. The adult females of most species have tube-like mouthparts (called a proboscis) that can pierce the skin of a host and feed on blood, which contains protein and iron needed to produce eggs. Thousands of mosquito species feed on the blood of various hosts — ver ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Culicinae
The Culicinae are the most extensive subfamily of mosquitoes (Culicidae) and have species in every continent except Antarctica, but are highly concentrated in tropical areas. Mosquitoes are best known as parasites to many vertebrate animals and vectors for disease. They are holometabolous insects, and most species lay their eggs in stagnant water, to benefit their aquatic larval stage. Introduction The subfamily Culicinae is the largest subfamily of Culicidae, a family of Nematocera dipterans. There are 3,046 species of Culicinae mosquitoes, in 108 genera and 11 tribes. Members of the Culicinae subfamily are small flies with fore wings for flight and hind wings reduced to halteres for balance. The mosquitoes also have long, slender, legs and proboscis-style mouth parts for feeding on vertebrate blood or plant fluids. Only the females are blood feeders, requiring a high quality protein meal before they can oviposit. Because the mosquitoes are well adapted for finding hosts, the f ...

Maguari Virus
''Maguari orthobunyavirus'', abbreviated MAGV, is a negative-sense, single-stranded RNA virus in the ''Bunyavirales'' order, genus ''Orthobunyavirus'',''The Medical Dictionary'', http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Maguari+virus, accessed August 5, 2017. Bunyamwera serogroup, that has been shown to be capable of causing human disease. MAGV is related to Cache Valley virus and Tensaw virus. In addition to humans, MAGV has been isolated from mosquitoes, horses, cattle, sheep, birds, and rodents. The mosquito species include ''Aedes fulvus'', ''Aedes scapularis'', ''Aedes serratus'', ''Culex taeniopus'', and species in the genera ''Anopheles'', ''Wyeomyia'', and ''Psorophora''. MAGV's geographic range includes Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, French Guiana, Guyana, and Peru.; it has not been isolated north of Trinidad. The presence of antibodies to Maguari virus in human residents of south Florida can be attributed to either cross-reactivity with Tensaw virus, or cross- ...

Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis Virus
Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus is a mosquito-borne viral pathogen that causes Venezuelan equine encephalitis or encephalomyelitis (VEE). VEE can affect all equine species, such as horses, donkeys, and zebras. After infection, equines may suddenly die or show progressive central nervous system disorders. Humans also can contract this disease. Healthy adults who become infected by the virus may experience flu-like symptoms, such as high fevers and headaches. People with weakened immune systems and the young and the elderly can become severely ill or die from this disease. The virus that causes VEE is transmitted primarily by mosquitoes that bite an infected animal and then bite and feed on another animal or human. The speed with which the disease spreads depends on the subtype of the VEE virus and the density of mosquito populations. Enzootic subtypes of VEE are diseases endemic to certain areas. Generally these serotypes do not spread to other localities. Enzootic subtypes ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
