J Med Entomol. Spence Beaulieu MR, Hopperstad K, Dunn RR, Reiskind MH. To further investigate differences between land-use types while accounting for varying mosquito pool sizes during our molecular analysis, we used a likelihood ratio test to compare probability of within-mosquito D. immitis infection across land-use types. Acta Trop. Although the response is likely different for diseases transmitted by one or few species, mosquito diversity losses leading to decreased transmission could be generalizable to other pathogens with multiple vectors. We collected a total of 10,244 mosquitoes over the two years of sampling. eCollection 2022. 2011;26:17885. 2016;61:395415. Mon-Fri: 8:00am - 12:00pm, 1:30pm - 5:00pm Sat: 8:00am - 12:00pm In a recent study, 1 dog owners shared their knowledge of heartworm disease and the action they take to . More broadly, our findings can be generalized to other pathogens with multiple vectors, contributing to an understanding of the role of arthropod diversity in multi-vectored disease systems. Google Scholar. Urbanization is occurring rapidly on a global scale and is altering mosquito communities, creating assemblages that are characteristically less diverse. In the present study, we sought to determine the relationship between mosquito diversity and D. immitis prevalence in domestic dogs within the suburban setting. 525 S 300 E PROVO UT 84606-4849. PubMed J Parasitol. 1961;54:44851. albopictus have greater dog heartworm prevalence. Using zip code level data acquired from dogs in a local shelter, we performed linear regressions of within-host heartworm prevalence by within-mosquito heartworm prevalence as well as by three mosquito diversity measures. Med Vet Entomol. 2017;31:4454. Bethesda, MD 20894, Web Policies albopictus, the Asian tiger mosquito, which constituted 41.9% of the overall abundance, followed by Culex salinarius and Aedes vexans with 13.9% and 8.3%, respectively. It is caused by a parasitic worm. However, mosquito diversity metrics were positively correlated with host heartworm prevalence. COLLECTIF CITOYEN EN CHARTREUSE. We performed real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) to assess for presence or absence of D. immitis DNA within the previously extracted and quantified mosquito pools. "At the beginning of spring 2020, many veterinarians saw a drop in wellness visits and heartworm Veterinary Treatment Facility reminds pet owners of heartworm disease risks. Vet Parasitol. Within-mosquito Dirofilaria immitis prevalence varied, Visualization of heartworm prevalence by, Visualization of heartworm prevalence by zip code in Wake County, North Carolina. With regard to dog heartworm disease, this loss of mosquito diversity is associated with decreased heartworm prevalence within both the vector and the host. Almost 6000 veterinary practices and shelters participated in the AHS survey in early 2020. Among veterinarians who believe heartworm incidence increased, leading reasons cited were an increase in heartworm-positive pets coming from heartworm-endemic areas, poor compliance among pet owners, and weather trends that caused an increase in mosquitoes. Ecological drivers of dog heartworm transmission in California. Currently available preventives are listed below; as new products become available, updates will be posted at heartwormsociety.org. Instead, our results suggest a positive relationship between mosquito diversity and disease transmission, as has been found in the limited existing studies investigating the effects of diversity within disease systems with multiple vectors [5, 6, 16]. 2010;3:117. doi: 10.1186/1756-3305-3-117. 1). Silaghi C, Beck R, Capelli G, Montarsi F, Mathis A. Parasit Vectors. PMC We performed a logit transformation of our within-host heartworm prevalence data to account for its proportional nature [38], and used Akaike information criterion (AIC) as the estimator of model quality in our model selection. Cats are known to have a penchant for biting and scratching, but even the most fierce feline can Pets are beloved members of many families. Suburban sites had significantly lower D. immitis prevalence than did undeveloped field sites (Z=2.925, P=0.010). The earliest D. immitis-positive pool of mosquitoes was collected during the first week of June, which coincided with the beginning of our trapping season, and the latest D. immitis-positive pool of mosquitoes was collected during the third week of October. Rift Valley fever: an emerging mosquito-borne disease. Zika virus. Terms and Conditions, -, Evans MV, Dallas TA, Han BA, Murdock CC, Drake JM. Effects of landscape anthropization on mosquito community composition and abundance. Within the canine host, the adult heartworm resides in the pulmonary arteries and the heart, causing respiratory distress and eventually congestive heart failure [17]. All authors participated in editing and review of the manuscript. Bonizzoni M, Gasperi G, Chen X, James AA. 2022 Nov 3;15(1):407. doi: 10.1186/s13071-022-05514-1. Pet relocation. Using zip code level data acquired from dogs in a local shelter, we performed linear regressions of within-host heartworm prevalence by within-mosquito heartworm prevalence as well as by three mosquito diversity measures. While the directionality of its relationship with mosquito communities remains unclear, it is evident that socioeconomic status has the ability to alter susceptibility of hosts, vector exposure, and therefore disease risk. Testing data from thousands of veterinary practices and shelters is used to create a detailed map showing the average number of heartworm-positive cases per clinic. Mosquito species distribution across urban, suburban, and semi-rural residences in San Antonio. suggests that there has been little significant. PubMed Central Taken together with the present findings, this suggests that suburban development is decreasing mosquito diversity, and that the resultant decreased mosquito diversity is linked with lower heartworm disease prevalence. CAS We then calculated proportion heartworm-positive mosquito pools by zip code so that the two datasets were at comparable scales. The American Heartworm Society (AHS) estimates that only 55% of dogs in the U.S. are currently on a heartworm preventive. Early registration for September 8-11 th conference in New Orleans ends July 15th April is National Heartworm Awareness Month! For each mosquito species, we calculated total number of individuals and total number of pools analyzed, the number of pools positive for D. immitis, and the percent D. immitis positive pools. Annu Rev Entomol. c While the relationship between within-host heartworm prevalence and mosquito rarefied richness was not significant (F(1, 16)=4.342, P=0.054, R2=0.213), a similar positive trend was found. We investigated this question using the dog heartworm, a filarial parasite vectored by numerous mosquito species. Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative. Parasit Vectors.

The qPCR procedure consisted of a denaturation step at 95C for 30s, followed by 40 cycles of denaturation at 95C for 5s, annealing at 60C for 15s and extension at 72C for 10seconds. 5. To disentangle the effects of mosquito diversity and mosquito abundance, we also calculated the average abundance within a zip code per site per trap-night and performed a linear regression comparing log average mosquito abundance to within-host heartworm prevalence. 2020 Feb 27;57(2):608-614. doi: 10.1093/jme/tjz190. However, with vector diversity being linked to both increased and decreased disease transmission depending on the pathosystem, D. immitis risk as a function of urbanization-induced vector diversity changes is difficult to predict. Lapses in preventive medication compliance. Med Vet Entomol. PubMed Central The Pandemic Effects on Heartworm Prevention. Hu M, Gasser RB, El-Osta YA, Chilton NB.

This study contributes to better understanding of the effects of urbanization and the role of vector diversity in multi-vectored pathosystems. Additionally, each 96-well plate included both a reaction with no template and a reaction with DNA extracted from a known negative laboratory-reared mosquito as negative controls. The effect of urbanization is well known for certain mosquito species of interest, particularly the container-breeding Aedes [7, 8], but has only recently been examined in the context of effects on mosquito species assemblages.

While mosquito diversity had a positive relationship with host heartworm prevalence in the model, household income had a negative relationship with host heartworm prevalence, supporting our hypothesis that higher income areas would have less dog heartworm disease than lower income areas. There did not appear to be any seasonal trends in D. immitis infection within mosquitoes, although we could have missed important dynamics in the spring due to our trapping season beginning in June. Zip codes where mosquitoes were not sampled are denoted NA. A similar study of D. immitis prevalence within mosquitoes in an urbanized area of Oklahoma, USA found that urban sites had significantly higher heartworm infection rates than rural sites and implicated Ae. Statistical analyses No apparent seasonal trends in D. immitis-positive status were noted within the mosquito trapping season (see Additional file 2: Figure S1). 2016;29:487524.

About Europe PMC; Preprints in Europe PMC To help veterinary professionals, shelter personnel, and pet owners understand heartworm trends in their areas, the American Heartworm Society (AHS) began tracking U.S. heartworm incidence in January 2002. When comparing D. immitis prevalence within dogs to its prevalence within mosquitoes by zip code, no significant relationship was detected (F(1, 16)=0.511, P=0.485). With suburban and urban development rapidly changing global landscapes and the variable nature of the response of vector-borne diseases to these land-use changes, our understanding of the connection between vector diversity and disease transmission will become increasingly pressing and warrants further investigation. pipiens and An. -. Article Harrison XA, Donaldson L, Correa-Cano ME, Evans J, Fisher DN, Goodwin CE, et al. These data contained the results of the heartworm test performed at the time of intake as well as the zip code of the prior owner or location of capture. In a separate facility, we extracted DNA from each pool using either the DNeasy Blood and Tissue Kit (Qiagen, Venlo, Netherlands) or the ZR Genomic DNA-Tissue MiniPrep (Zymo Research, Irvine, CA, USA).

For each neighborhood, we trapped at a single house with homeowner approval, verifying that homeowners did not intend on doing any mosquito barrier sprays or insecticidal treatments during the study period. Any dogs without heartworm test results or a designated zip code were removed from analysis. We trapped host-seeking mosquitoes in undeveloped areas and neighborhoods of different ages in Wake County, North Carolina, USA, analyzing captured mosquitoes for heartworm DNA. & Reiskind, M.H. Parasitology. Little E, Biehler D, Leisnham PT, Jordan R, Wilson S, LaDeau SL. Worsley-Tonks KEL, Gehrt SD, Anchor C, Escobar LE, Craft ME. J Vector Ecol. Previous work with malaria has demonstrated a similar positive relationship between mosquito species richness and disease prevalence [5], suggesting that mosquito diversity losses being linked with decreased disease transmission could be applicable to a variety of multi-vectored diseases. Field sites had greater likelihood of a mosquito being positive for D. immitis than did suburban sites (LRT statistic =5.81, Holm adjusted P=0.048), but the probability at wooded sites did not differ from that at suburban sites (LRT statistic =0.013, Holm adjusted P=0.911) or field sites (LRT statistic =4.99, Holm adjusted P=0.051). It is believed this change was triggered by drier-than-normal conditions in the western U.S. in 2017 and 2018 that led to lower mosquito populations.

Mosquitoes are a diverse family of flies that can be pests and vectors of medical and veterinary significance, transmitting a wide array of viruses, protozoans and parasitic nematodes to both humans and animals. sharing sensitive information, make sure youre on a federal At each of the suburban and undeveloped sites, we sampled overnight with CDC light traps (JW Hock Co., Gainesville, FL, USA) baited with 1kg of dry ice (solid CO2). Eight mosquito species had pools that tested positive for Dirofilaria immitis. In addition to unmeasured host factors, this study is limited by the spatial scale of the within-dog heartworm prevalence data that we acquired. In the context of dog heartworm disease, the losses in mosquito diversity seen with suburban development are associated with decreased D. immitis prevalence in both the vectors and the host. Levy JK, Lappin MR, Glaser AL, Birkenheuer AJ, Anderson TC, Edinboro CH. Elife. Bockarie MJ, Pedersen EM, White GB, Michael E. Role of vector control in the global program to eliminate lymphatic filariasis. Using an estimate of client base and combining these data with dog numbers from the American Veterinary Medical Association, it is possible to generate a rough estimate of heartworm cases for the U.S. and, more importantly, to track trends. 2019;14:741. Eight mosquito species had pools that tested positive for, Relationship between mosquito parity and within-mosquito heartworm prevalence. To our knowledge, this study represents the first explicit investigation of the effects of urbanization-driven mosquito diversity changes on dog heartworm transmission within both the vector and the host. Cats have up to a 1 in 3 chance of naturally fighting off a heartworm infection if they are exposed to infectious heartworm larvae. Annu Rev Entomol. Zip code 84604 is located in Provo, Utah. Dog heartworm is considered endemic in the contiguous USA, with highest prevalence in the southeastern USA [19]. Urban and suburban development is predicted to increase by greater than 100% over the next 50years in the southeastern USA [48], in line with global trends of increasing urbanization. We acquired data from the Wake County Animal Center on all dogs entering the shelter either as an owner surrender or as a captured stray between January 2010 and October 2015. Overall, we selected 30 neighborhoods in 2015 that were constructed within the last 40 years and added an additional 6 older neighborhoods in 2016 that were developed between 50 and 102years prior. The southern megalopolis: using the past to predict the future of urban sprawl in the Southeast US. 2009;6:23949. Despite high rates of urbanization and ample examples of vector-borne diseases transmitted by multiple species, the effects of urbanization-driven mosquito diversity losses on disease transmission has not been well explored. 2017;42:1849. He has authored or co-authored 35 peer-reviewed papers, 34 scientific papers, and co-authored a best-selling companion animal parasitology atlas. For mosquitoes collected in 2015, we sexed the individuals and females were dissected for parity analysis via ovary tracheation [31]. However, since mosquitoes are responsible for transferring the parasite from dog to dog, some areas do pose a higher risk than others. Address example.
