  7. AEDES AEGYPTI MOSQUITO • The Aedes aegypti mosquito breeds in clean water • Remains in close proximity to feeding site. • Flight: less than 100 meters from its breading site. • Human assistance: Larva frequently transported in vases • Human assistance: Adults are transported in vehicles • Dengue Virus: females mosquitoes bites. • Blood meal: for development of eggs. • Daylight hours: Optimum time for dengue transmission • Improved artificial lighting: manifestation of night feeding. Shultis, E. B. (2009). Bromeliads as a Breeding Site for the Dengue Vector Aedes aegypti. Brown University, Natural and Cultural Ecology, Cairns. Nielsen, C. (2008). Best Management Practices for Mosquito Control on California State Properties. California Department of Public Health.

  8. REPRODUCTION OF THE MOSQUITO • First dengue virus: 1953 • Adult mosquito: develops from pupal stage. • Lifetime infection: female mosquito • Blood meal: propagation of dengue virus • 1 dengue infected mosquito: several persons in 1 meal Shultis, E. B. (2009). Bromeliads as a Breeding Site for the Dengue Vector Aedes aegypti. Brown University, Natural and Cultural Ecology, Cairns TheStateofQueensland. (2009). Dengue Fever.

  9. AEDES AEGYPTI PROPAGATION • Eggs-:varying amount of eggs at one sitting • Places: sides of containers, vases, barrels, drums and uncovered tanks. • Cluster Eggs: are cemented for survival • Appearance: The eggs are pale in colour initially. • Next stage, eggs becomes larva in two to four days. • Survival time: Eggs remain viable for a period of twelve months • It develops into a pupa in about seven days Shultis, E. B. (2009). Bromeliads as a Breeding Site for the Dengue Vector Aedes aegypti. Brown University, Natural and Cultural Ecology, Cairns. Nielsen, C. (2008).

Impact of vector control on a dengue fever outbreak in Trinidad, West Indies, in 1998. Tropical Medicine & International Health, 10 (8), 748-754.

  10. AEDES AEGYPTI PUPAL STAGE • Sensitive: to light, vibrations and other water disturbances. • Feeding: on microscopic substances and microscopic organisms. • Pupal stage: develops all the characteristics of the adult. • The pupal stage last for about 2 days • Flotation: by the surface tension in the water. • Breathing: through 2 cylindrical breathing apparatus. • There is no gill type arrangement and utilizes oxygen directly from the air. • Color changes: with maturity it gets darker in colour Shultis, E. B. (2009). Bromeliads as a Breeding Site for the Dengue Vector Aedes aegypti. Brown University, Natural and Cultural Ecology, Cairns. Nielsen, C. (2008).

  13. MODE OF TRANSMISSION • Virus transmitted to human in mosquito saliva. • Virus replicates in target organs. • Virus infects white blood cells and lymphatic tissues. • Virus released and circulates in blood. • Second mosquito ingest virus with blood. • Virus replicates: in mosquito midgut, salivary gland and other organs.

  14. PUBLIC HEALTH LAW TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO • The Public Health Ordinance Chapter 2 No 4 was enacted on January 1st 1917 • Maintenance: markets, abattoirs, cemeteries and ports. • Services: insect vector; bat, rodent and canine control. • Scavenging: Rubbish, refuse and waste matter • Penalty: a fine of four hundred and eighty dollars or imprisonment for six months on breaking the law.
