A Mark–Release–Recapture Study on Dispersal and Flight Distance of Culex pipiens pallens in an Urban Area of Japan
Abstract
A mark-release-recapture of Culex pipiens pallens was conducted in an urban area of Japan during June 26-29, 2007. Larvae naturally occurring in rain gutters were collected and reared to adults in a laboratory. A total of 10,183 emerging female Cx. pipiens pallens of 4-8 days old were marked with fluorescent dye and released from one site. Recapture was made on 4 consecutive days using 41 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention traps with 1 kg of dry ice and human landing collection, and 121 marked females were recaptured. The overall recapture rate was 0.01. The mean distance traveled by the recaptured females was estimated as 470, 287, 326, and 517 m on days 1-4, respectively. The maximum flight distance of host-seeking Cx. pipiens pallens was estimated as 1,217 m based on the relationship between distance from the release site to the collection site and the total number of recaptures/traps. The population size of female Cx. pipiens pallens in the study area was estimated as 100,904 +/- 8,509. The size of operational area for the control of Cx. pipiens pallens in urban area is discussed.

The chance that Dirofilaria spp. were introduced to Hungary with infected mosquitoes is very small because the movement and ranges of these insects are limited.
“The chance that Dirofilaria spp. were introduced to Hungary with infected mosquitoes is very small, because the movement and ranges of these insects are limited (Genchi et al. 2005; Tsuda et al. 2008; Zittra et al. 2015).”

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.
