Abstract

First-stage Dirofilaria larvae were found infecting the Malpighian tubules in 3 of 163 Aedes albopictus collected from New Orleans, LA, during June-July 1994. Further studies will be necessary to provide definitive identification of the parasite species, and to better describe the vectorial status of Ae. albopictus.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The vectorial capacity of Ae. albopictus has been proved in the transmission of Dengue fever and Yellow fever, it is a potential vector for several arbovirus, and its capacity to transmit infective larvae of D. immitis has been confirmed in its area of origin, in Italy and some areas of North America.

    “Its vectorial capacity has been proved in the transmission of Dengue fever and Yellow fever, is a potential vector for several arbovirus (Mitchell, 1995) and its capacity to transmit infective larvae of D. immitis has been confirmed in its area of origin, in Italy and some areas of North America (Comiskey and Wesson, 1995; Cancrini et al., 2003; Gratz, 2004).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
