,equipment at a mosquito control district Larviciding: backpack sprayer or hand-operated granular applicator, OR airplane and
helicopter spraying
adulticiding: fogging, spraying, or ULV spraying.. can use tractors/bulldozing/backhoes
for impounding and filling
used of fixed-wing aircraft is the most efficient means to adequately treat large areas of
land
Florida Anti-Mosquito Assisociation formed in 1922, now known as the Florida Mosquito Control Association, FMCA)
mosquito control law chapter 388 florida statues has conditions for mosquito control provisions
what department regulates funding of mosquito control Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, county/district shall be eligible to
districts, what does current funding act stipulate receive sate funds, the amount of which is described in chapter 5E-13.030
places eggs are laid 1) deposited on water surface
2) deposited on sides of containers wehre water will soon cover them
3) put into damp soil where they mature before they can hatch in water
4) mansonia deposit eggs on the bottom and top of floating aquatic plants
what is special about mansonia and coquiellititia larvae dont take in oxygen from the surface of the water, instead they have a sharp pointed
siphone to poke plants and take oxygen from the plant
pupae "tumbler" stage brief, no feeding, active only if disturbed, emerge into adults by splitting chitinuos pupal
skin into an adult, dry wings
classification of mosquitoes, how many animalia, anthropods, insecta, diptera, culicidae, anopholes, quad
80 species, 12 different genera
anopholes quadrimaculatus - transmits malaria
aedes aegypti - transmits yellow fever and dengue
, Eastern equine encephalitis alphavirus discovered in massachusetts from infected horses' brains. natural cycle is
between Culiseta melanura and birds, but bridge vectors to humans are Coquillettidia
perturbans, aedes atlanticus, culex nigripalpus, culex quinquefasciatus, and aedes
soliciatans
33% morality, significant brain damage
st louis encephalitis flavivirus discovered in st louis missouri, deaths are mostly in older populations, case
fatality is lower than EEE, not really long term residual neurological damage, vectored by
culex nigripalpus in FL, and culex quinquefasciatus and tasalis in other parts of the US
West nile encephalitis flavivirus discovered in new york city in 1999 and supposed to be of middle eastern
origin, culex nigripalpus and quinquefasciatus are two major vectors. big mortality in
birds. most eriously affects people 50+, less than 1% have long lasting neurological
effects, 2-5% case fatality rate
breeding seasons most mosquitoes breed mainly in the summer
punctipennis, culex restuans and culex salinarius breed all year round w/ peak numbers in
late spring
arthropod phylum characterized by hard exoskeleton, body is segmented with paired jointed
appendages (ex. insects, mites, cetipedes, spiders)
enzootic present endemically in certain populations
faunal zones list of animal species occurring in a particular region
impoundment coverage of the surface of a marsh with shallow water to prevent exposing substrate for
slat marsh mosquito egg laying because salt marsh mosquitos are floodwater mosquitoes
integrated mosquito management use of a combination of biological, chemical, educational, and physical control methods
in order to maintain targeted species or populations of mosquitoes at an acceptable
level
ultra low volume a spray application of a pesticide that is a technical or undiluted material and broken up
into very small droplets
