  3. LICE Order Phthiraptera, 3 types 1/8”

  4. TREATMENT OF HEAD LICE • Permethrin or Pyrethrin shampoos • Malathion shampoos • Re-treat in 10 days (cannot kill eggs) • Louse or nit combs • Pets? No! • Personal hygiene • Do not share caps or combs • Head lice are NOT disease vectors

  5. BODY LICE • Less common in the U.S. • Larger than Head Lice – 1/7” • Hide in clothing seams • Vectors of epidemic typhus (rickettsiae) • Vectors of trench fever (World War I: 1.8 million cases in U.S. military)

  6. PUBIC or CRAB LICE 1/16” Do not transmit disease agents Found only on humans – not on cats or dogs

  7. FLEAS Order Siphonaptera Size: 1/16” No wings Cat flea

  8. LIFE CYCLE OF A FLEA Total: 12-174 d (typical: 3 to 5 wks)

  9. FLEAS: MEDICAL IMPORTANCE • Piercing mouthparts – feed exclusively on blood • Irritation from flea bites • Primary vector of bubonic plague (Oriental rat flea) • Bacterium Yersinia pestis • Mortality rate 90% - “Black Death” • Middle Ages: killed 1/3 of Europe’s population in a few decades • Vector of Murine typhus (Rickettsia typhi) • Intermediate hosts of dog tapeworms – may infect humans if the flea is inadvertently swallowed

  10. MANAGEMENT OF FLEAS • Treat the pet • Treat the premises Pet treatments: Insect Growth Regulators (methoprene, lufenuron, pyriproxyfen), or Adulticides (fipronil, imidacloprid) Premises treatments: Steam clean; IGRs; Sanitation (vacuum to remove eggs)

  11. Bed Bugs • Order Hemiptera – True Bugs • Piercing-sucking beak • One species – Cimex lectularius

  12. Cairo Hotel Marriott October 2005

  13. Bed Bugs • Female produces up to 500 eggs • Can survive 1 year without blood meal • Hides during the day, active by night • Produces foul smelling substance when disturbed • Sanitation!

  14. BLOOD SUCKING FLIES Order Diptera = “two wings” wings halteres

  15. BLACK FLIES Family Simuliidae Larva Pupa Larvae develop in flowing water Adults can be black, gray or yellow Size: 1/8”

  16. BLACK FLIES LIFE CYCLE Adult Eggs on a submerged water plant Larvae in feeding position Emerging adult in air bubble Pupae

  17. BLACK FLIES • Attracted to dark colors and carbon dioxide • Vicious biters. Piercing, blade-like mouthparts • Bites are painful because of venom (saliva) • Do not attack indoors or at night • Extremely numerous in early Summer • May transmit diseases, even encephalitis • Protection: repellents (DEET)

  18. STABLE FLY Larva (maggot) Pupa Stomoxys calcitrans adult

  19. STABLE FLY Bayonet-like mouthparts Stable fly House fly • Both male and female are blood-sucking • Attracted to dark colors • Breeding sites: manure, straw • Control: similar to house flies • SANITATION!

  20. HOUSE FLY Sponging mouthparts A carrier of up to 40 diseases, including: typhoid fever, cholera, dysentery, and anthrax. The fly transmits diseases by carrying disease organisms onto food. It picks up disease organisms on its leg hairs or eats them and then regurgitates them onto food (in the process of liquefying solid food)

  21. WYOMING MOSQUITOES At least 45 species Main genera: Culex, Aedes, Anopheles, Culiseta, Wyeomiya, Mansonia

  22. MOSQUITO LIFE CYCLE eggs adults larva pupa

  23. Aquatic stages Mosquito pupae Mosquito larvae

  24. Mosquito wing Scales

  25. Male mosquito does not bite

  26. MOSQUITOES AS DISEASE VECTORS #1 vectors of numerous devastating diseases worldwide -Encephalitis (5 types) Western Equine Encephalitis – Culex tarsalis -West Nile Virus – Culex pipiens (East), C. tarsalis (West) -Dengue – Aedes aegypti -Yellow fever – Aedes aegypti -Malaria – Anopheles spp. -Filariasis (nematodes) – Culex, Aedes, Anopheles spp. -Dog heartworm – Culex, Aedes spp.

  27. MOSQUITO LIFE HISTORIES Four larval habitat types are used to group the mosquitoes: • Permanent Pool • Container • Floodwater • Transient water

  28. Permanent Pool Habitat

  29. Permanent Pool Habitat Group Need shallow water with emergent plants Eggs laid singly on water surface for Anopheles species Overwinter as adult mated females Not very important species as disease vectors or nuisance in Wyoming Anopheles species are only mosquitoes that can vector malaria

  30. Container Group Habitat

  31. Container Habitat Group Need artificial or natural containers that hold water long enough to complete larval development Eggs laid singly at water line surface for Aedes species. Culexspecies sometimes use this habitat also Overwinter as eggs, multiple broods per season Important species as disease vectors worldwide, less so in Wyoming Often the target of urban mosquito control

  32. Floodwater Habitat Eggs are deposited singly on damp soil which is intermittently flooded

  33. Floodwater Group Aedesspecies dominate this habitat Eggs are laid singly where the mosquito female senses the area has been submerged in water before Several hatches per year - Ae. dorsalis, Ae. melanimon & Ae. vexans, most common species in WY Overwinter in egg stage When conditions are correct can rapidly develop - 6 days Capable of flying long distances

  34. Transient Water Habitat Roadside ditches, irrigated lands etc.

  35. Transient Water Group Culex species dominate this habitat, esp. mucky water. Culex tarsalislife history: Eggs are laid as rafts on water surface At 80 F, go from egg to adult in 10 days Overwinter as adult, fed and mated female Populations build through summer Month life span as adult, up to 4 blood meals possible Capable of flying 0.5 mile per night Feed at night, will enter buildings Prefers birds but will switch to horses and humans

  36. Culex tarsalis

  37. WEST NILE VIRUS CASES 2004 2003 2005 Year WY CA 2003 375 3 2004 10 760 2005 12 865

  38. Culex tarsalis

  39. MOSQUITO SURVEYS • Adult surveys • CDC light traps • Dry ice traps (C. tarsalis) • Landing and biting collections • Insect sweep net collections • Truck trap collections • Larval and pupal surveys • -Dipping

  40. MOSQUITO CONTROL • Source reduction • Water management • Sanitation • Irrigation optimization • Drainage • Biological control • -Gambusia fish • -Pathogens (Bti, Bs)

  41. MOSQUITO CONTROL • Chemical control • Larviciding (larval control) • The most efficient control strategy • Minimizes treated areas • Avoids treating populated areas • Adulticiding (control of adults) • Usually, consists of Ultra-Low Volume spraying in urban areas
