REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

Review of Related Literature
On mosquito larvae, the major larval habitats were anthropogenic, resulting from human behavior. According to the Journal of Vector Ecology (2012 p37) stated that “The management of insecticide resistance among malaria vectors needs urgent attention if insecticide-treated materials can continue to be used for malaria control.”
Metarhizium anisopliae, a fungal pathogen of terrestrial arthropods, kills the aquatic larvae ofAedes aegypti, the vector of dengue and yellow fever. According to the College of Science (2013 p1) noted that “when larvae of Culex quinquefasciatus broke the water tension with their perispiracular valves for air intake, floating conidia of M. anisopliaeadhered to the inside surface of the valves, germinated and invaded the siphon tip tissue, then extended into and blocked the trachea resulting in suffocation and death.”
The Society for Vector Ecology stated that “Mosquitoes is the name applied to a small gnat-liked fly that has a long piercing beak (proboscis) and many fine scales attached to the veins of its wings. Nearly 2,500 species of mosquitoes have been described, including about 200 species in the United States. Mosquitoes often occur in vast numbers. They are found almost everywhere except open sea, at the poles, and in very dry deserts. They do not normally live at elevations above 12, 000 feet (3650 meters).”
Mosquitoes are more dangerous to the health of man than any other group of insects. They carry terrible diseases such as malaria and dengue. Malaria is transmitted only by anopheline mosquitoes. Dengue frequently transmitted by aedes aegypti and a. albopictus. The Journal of Arachnology (1998).

    In the article, "When Mosquitoes Were Killers In America" written by Lauren Tarshis, the author states that mosquitoes are far worse than being a nuisance. There are many places in the article that back this statement. For example, the author writes something about how mosquitoes can easily spread a deadly disease called malaria. "In this way, bite by itchy bite, 212 million people are infected with malaria each year. Many live in crowded areas where mosquitoes easily spread the disease from person to person"(Tarshis 13). This is saying that in a small area, mosquitoes can easily infect people with a deadly disease. This is important because it shows an example of a piece of evidence to back up Lauren's statement. Plus, it shows how mosquitoes…

    Throughout time medical technology and knowledge of the various insects and mammals which we share this earth with has continuously evolved, allowing us to discover more families and species of arthropods and also their importance to both human and veterinary life. Within these discoveries entomologist have learned of the vectors and different ways of transmission from parasites to their host. For those of the parasites that are arthropods some of them have a medical importance and some don’t; but of those which do two of the very important genus include the mosquito (Culicidae) and the tick (Ixodida). Both of which have been found to transmit several viruses and diseases some causing death depending on the severity of what that victim allows it to be. Many of them resulting in death and the spread of these cases all around the United States and leave their originated areas and migrate to other parts of the world.…

    Malaria parasites are transmitted to humans by the bite of infected female mosquitoes of more than 30 anopheline species [1]. Anopheles mosquitoes breed in water and each species has its own breeding preference; for example some mosquitoes prefer hollow bodies of fresh water, such as rice fields, hoof prints and puddles. Transmission occurs more often in places where the mosquito lifespan is greaterand in an area that is populated by humans. For example, the long lifespan and strong human-biting habit of the African vector species is why more than 90% of the world 's malaria deaths are in Africa. [2]…

    Mosquitos are the largest human killers in the world. They are not only efficient, blood sucking organisms, but also the most efficient disease carrying organism. The Pacific vampire mosquito is indigenous to several islands in the Pacific Ocean. They are most known for their presence on the Hawaiian Islands. Due to the large tourist presence on the islands, and the increasing pressure of unhappy tourists these pests are literally being poised to extinction. They are known to carry Malaria, and yellow fever and infect thousands of tourists yearly. Should these creatures be spared? After all their endangerment is a direct cause of human involvement. Although I believe that extinction is not necessarily the answer, continued involvement is needed. We as humans are a…

    Mosquitoes are small insects that have a very thin body. Mosquitoes can be found anywhere except for Antarctica. There are about 170 different species of mosquitoes in all of North America. To grow, mosquitoes need a small area of stagnant water. Mosquitoes have been known to breed in fresh water, salt-water marshes, or water found in old tires or plastic containers. The mosquito life cycle has 4 significant stages. They go from eggs to larvae to pupae and finally to adult. Only female mosquitoes can bite. Male mosquitoes feed on mostly flower nectar. The females, however, require a blood meal to lay their eggs.…

    There are many different species of bloodsucking fleas, lice, ticks and mites. Lice live on humans or in their clothing, while fleas are frequently found taking bloodmeals on people and domestic animals. Bedbugs, which can be found in beds or furniture, feed on humans to obtain blood-meals. Some mites live in people’s skin, e.g. the mites that cause scabies. Other mite species and ticks may take bloodmeals on humans. Fleas, bedbugs and lice are insects, whereas ticks and mites belong to another group of arthropods, the Acarina. Unlike adult insects they have only two main sections to their body, and the adults have four pairs of legs (as opposed to three pairs in insects). Bedbugs, head lice and crab lice do not carry disease, but their biting can be a serious nuisance. However, important diseases of humans and animals are transmitted by other arthropods dealt with here, among them the following: — — — — epidemic typhus and epidemic relapsing fever (body lice); plague and murine typhus (certain fleas); Lyme disease, relapsing fever and many viral diseases (ticks); scrub typhus (biting mites).…
