Species?
Anopheles freeborni
-
lacking air siphons and
lying horizontally at
the water surface when
at rest =
larvae of which Genus?
Anopheles
-
Females of this
species survive the
winter in an
inseminated, non-gravid,
un-blood fed state.
Anopheles freeborni
-
_ eggs have
characteristic floats
extending from the sides
Anopheles
-
Blood meal sources are
deer, sheep, horses,
dogs and humans =
Genus?
Anopheles
-
Spring rain pools, river
seepage areas, marshes,
swamps, semi-permanent or
permanent ponds in
irrigated pastures,
rice fields and drainage
ditches are among
the most common
larval habitats of?
Anopheles freeborni
-
Distinguishing An. freeborni
larvae from other
California Anopheles larvae
is difficult and relies
primarily upon _
_ and the
pattern of _
on the head.
-
All three of these three species are dark-
legged, dark-palpi
Anopheles
-
is an aggressive, flighty biter
and will attempt to
feed on a number
of different hosts
in order to
obtain a blood meal
Anopheles hermsi
-
adults are medium-sized,
brown mosquitoes with dark
palpi, a wide grey
longitudinal stripe on
the mesonotum and
two pale spots on the
forward wing margin.
Anopheles punctipennis
-
Larvae inhabit shaded grassy
pools in cool wooded areas along
intermittent creeks and permanent rivers.
Anopheles punctipennis
-
In California, _ _
was a significant cause
of malaria in the
early 1900s in Placer County.
Problems with this
species led to
one of the first
mosquito abatement
programs in the state.
Anopheles punctipennis
-
a secondary vector for
WEE and CE in
the Central Valley
Aedes ...
Aedes dorsalis
-
Eggs of many diapausing
Aedes species will not
hatch until they
have been exposed to
very cold temperatures for
periods as long as
6 months or more.
This exposure is called
conditioning
