4 Is it Culex tarsalis or Culex coronator? Are you seeing Culex mosquitoes with banded legs in your collections? For mosquito identifiers in Florida who use the Darsie and Morris (2000) keys to the Florida mosquitoes, Culex (excluding the Melanoconion) with distinct or narrow basal and apical bands on the hind tarsomeres will key out to bahamensis or tarsalis. Culex bahamensis has very narrow bands on the hindtarsomeres, a broad median white band on the proboscis, and its distribution is limited to Broward, Dade, and Monroe counties in the United States (Breeland 1982). Culex tarsalis has distinct basal and apical banding on the hind tarsomeres and a broad median white band on the proboscis. For the banded legged Culex then, many identification specialists are keying their specimens to Cx. tarsalis. While Cx. tarsalis has been reported from several counties in Florida, it is not common or abundant statewide. For those who have recently identified mosquitoes as Cx. tarsalis, please be aware that these specimens are likely Cx. coronator. The first collections of Culex coronator in Florida were from Okaloosa, Santa Rosa, Walton, and Washington counties (Smith et al. 2006) and more recently this mosquito has been found in other counties in the Panhandle region. The Georgia Mosquito Control Association website includes a posting of the distribution of mosquito species in the state: Culex coronator has been collected in several South Georgia counties: Within the past year, the Florida Medical Entomology Laboratory (FMEL) has received specimens identified as Cx. tarsalis from several mosquito control biologists from Florida counties. However, after examination, we have confirmed the identity as Culex coronator from Citrus, Indian River, Polk, St. Johns, and Volusia counties (Fig. 2). The reason for the misidentification is that these two species have similar morphology and Cx. coronator is not included in the Darsie and Morris keys to the mosquitoes of Florida (2000), but Cx. tarsalis is described in the key. If a specimen is indeed Cx. coronator, following the Darsie and Morris key (2000) will take the identifier to Cx. tarsalis and then the identifier may assume that the scales on the proboscis have been rubbed since the band is incomplete. While this may be possible, for recent collections it is more likely that the specimen is Cx. coronator. For the taxonomic key that includes both species, refer to Darsie and Ward keys to the mosquitoes of North America (2005). The table below provides a list of characteristics, most of which are not included in the Darsie and Morris (2000) key. The information presented here is a combination of characters from Darsie and Ward (2005), Darsie and Morris (2000), and Carpenter and LaCasse (1955). A close examination of the proboscis of Cx. coronator will reveal a broad area of pale or white scales on the ventral surface which does not extend around the dorsal surface to form a complete band; but there is a band of white scales around the proboscis of Cx. tarsalis (Fig. 1). If you have specimens that you believe are either Cx. coronator or Cx. tarsalis, and you would like to have a confirmation on the identification, you may send them to FMEL to Dr. Roxanne Connelly, th Street SE, Vero Beach, FL If you have already determined that Cx. coronator is in your county and it is NOT on the map in this article (Fig. 2), please contact Dr. Connelly at crr@ufl.edu This map is posted and will be updated regularly at: Volume 8 Number 5 4

7 SOUTH WALTON COUNTY MOSQUITO CONTROL DISTRICT When Roxanne Connelly invited me to write an article about the South Walton County Mosquito Control District to inform BuzzWords readers about our current activities, I couldn t say no, because it s hard to turn down a fellow editor who graciously contributes manuscripts whenever asked. Here s some information about the South Walton County Mosquito Control District that you may not know, most of which does not appear in the Operational Work Plan Narrative we send to Tallahassee each year: We are one of 5 counties which host two State-participating mosquito control programs, splitting the county with North Walton Mosquito Control. We have 2 commissioners running for re-election, John Magee and Jim Crawford, and are expecting the Governor or the Commissioner of Agriculture to appoint a third mosquito control commissioner to our Board. We currently have 11 full-time and 4 part-time employees, with experience ranging from 3 months to over 20 years. Office manager Joanne Gaines retired at the end of May, after almost 28 years with the district, and our new office manager, Geraldine Via, bakes and decorates the most amazing pastries.

In fact, just about everyone here is a great cook, one of the many reasons why SWCMCD is such a great place to work. Cynthia Dillingham, our Secretary-Receptionist and part-time sprayer, is recuperating from a traffic accident and we look forward to her speedy recovery. 7 Volume 8 Number 5

Hopefully the situation will stabilize (and improve) so that we will not have to reduce the level of service expected by district residents. SWCMCD was formed in 1964 by Notice of Election, and we ll be celebrating our 50 th anniversary a mere 5 ½ years from now.

Jose Hernandez bleeding sentinel chickens Now that there is no dog (stable) fly control program, we cannot respond to complaints from the public, other than to inform them that there is no longer a dog fly control program. We have been more successful controlling yellow (deer) flies, having distributed sticky ball traps to some 125 households this year.

10 A Review of West Nile Virus Epidemiology Anyone wishing to obtain a well written review of the status of our knowledge about West Nile virus epidemiology should read a paper in the Annual Review of Entomology by Kramer, L.D., L.M. Styer and G.D. Ebel A global perspective on the epidemiology of West Nile virus. Annual Review of Entomology 53: This paper can be obtained directly on the web at: Kramer et al. (2008) review many studies that provide an impressive array of interesting information about West Nile virus and its epidemiology in the U. S. since its arrival in The extent of the West Nile literature in the past 10 years has been greatly expanded due to the seriousness of the impact of West Nile on the health and well-being of humans, domestic animals, and wildlife. Florida is one of the few states in the U.S. to have largely escaped a substantial West Nile epidemic. However, Florida mosquito control and public health professionals have addressed a variety of issues, including surveillance and control strategies, to mitigate the impact of West Nile in case of a substantial outbreak. The above review article provides a summary and access to the literature on the virus, its molecular epidemiology, avian hosts, mosquito vectors, the transmission cycle, bridge vectors, long-term spread and perpetuation, and strategies for control and treatment including vaccine and antiviral treatment. Although many readers of BuzzWords will likely already be familiar with much of the information in the reviews, the article is an excellent reference for your libraries and your own background information. If you are also looking for a review and summary of surveillance and vector control studies, unfortunately you will not find it in this review. In my opinion this is a great weakness of the article. There is little information on vector control strategies that have proven successful in mitigating West Nile in the U.S. Although studies using GIS to develop West Nile predictors are mentioned, unfortunately there is no information that such predictors have been used successfully. Further, Florida mosquito control and public health professionals are well aware of the use of sentinel surveillance, particularly the use of the Florida sentinel chicken surveillance program that has successfully been used to assess Florida s risk for both West Nile virus and St. Louis encephalitis virus. In addition, Florida s well honed surveillance system employs Dr. Jon Day s statewide water level assessments to develop risk predictors that have been amply reported in the literature (see Day, J.F. and J. Shaman Using hydrologic conditions to track the risk of focal and epidemic arboviral transmission in peninsular Florida. Journal of Medical Entomology 45(3): ) The Florida sentinel surveillance system, coupled with the well-developed Florida drought and water table depth information has provided a powerful predictor that has benefitted Florida s ability to respond to West Nile surveillance, witness the Pinellas Mosquito Control District s response to West Nile transmission in 2005 (Day and Shaman 2008). This timely and aggressive mosquito control response, based on surveillance and water table monitoring, played a role in heading off what would have been a substantial outbreak of West Nile in Pinellas County. BuzzWords readers will be disappointed that this information is omitted in the review, which is unfortunate. Perhaps a review on this topic simply reflects the current status of West Nile in the U.S. Despite the increase in knowledge about the virus, its vectors and potential hosts, BuzzWords readers hopefully maintain a realistic appraisal of our progress to mitigate outbreaks of mosquito borne pathogens like West Nile virus. Despite the extensive studies and references in the review, the actual realistic mitigation of any West Nile outbreak remains largely where it was in 1999, it remains the burden of efficient, effective, and Volume 8 Number 5 10

11 environmentally proper professional mosquito control. We know more about the virus, and its molecular epidemiology. Also, we have identified the major mosquito vectors and hosts, despite the earlier confusion when scores of mosquito species found with the virus were considered potential important vectors. Florida s West Nile surveillance capabilities are among the best in the world. Yet despite all that we have learned, West Nile control still falls to the capabilities and expertise of local mosquito control districts. We now have better information to target areas where there is risk, but it is still up to mosquito control to actually target these areas to mitigate arboviral epidemics. I was surprised by a review with an entire section devoted to strategies for control and treatment with no comment, guidance or advice on these important issues. Is something missing in such a review of West Nile virus epidemiology? Where are the actual studies during the past 10 years targeted to improving mosquito control effectiveness to reduce West Nile virus transmission to humans? Walter J.
