Mosquitoes Of The Cheyenne Bottoms Waterfowl Management Area, Barton County, Kansas, John J. Janovy Jr.

John J. Janovy, Jr. Publications

Studies of the local biology of eleven species of mosquitoes in a prairie marsh in central Kansas revealed that "floodwater" species (Aedes dorsalis, A. nigromaculis, A. sollicitans, A. vexans, Psorophora ciliata, P. cyanescens) formed a major portion of the total mosquito population and were the principal pests after early June. Culex tarsalis was the most numerous single species and was captured in large numbers even during the hot, dry period from mid-July to late August. Culiseta inornata was plentiful in early spring and fall, but virtually absent from late May to mid-September. Culex pipiens, Orthopodomyia signijera, and …

Epidemiology Of Plasmodium Hexamerium Huff, 1935, In Meadowlarks And Starlings Of The Cheyenne Bottoms, Barton County, Kansas, John J. Janovy Jr.

John J. Janovy, Jr. Publications

A 2-year epidemiological study of Plasmodium hexamerium in meadowlarks and starlings of the Cheyenne Bottoms Waterfowl Management Area, Barton County, Kansas, revealed that seasonal infection incidence varied significantly in the meadowlark, being highest in the early spring and lowest in the winter, but did not vary significantly in the starling. Both host species became infected at an early age, the meadowlark in the nest and the starling soon after leaving it. In concurrent vector studies: (1) Culex tarsalis was infected with P. hexamerium in the laboratory; (2) C. tarsalis, Aedes nigromaculis, and A. sollicitans were exceedingly abundant and fed …

Kowalewskiella Totani N. Sp. (Cestoda: Dilepididae) From Totanus Flavipes, J. Teague Self, John J. Janovy Jr.

John J. Janovy, Jr. Publications

Totanus flavipes (Gmelin) 1789 (lesser yellowlegs) collected from the Cheyenne Bottoms Waterfowl Management area, Barton County, Kansas was parasitized by cestodes belonging to the poorly known genus Kowalewskiella Baczynska 1914 and constituting a species new to science.

Kowalewskiella totani n. sp. is described from Totanus flavipes from Barton County, Kansas. It differs from K. cingulifera (Krabbe 1869) Sandeman 1959 in being much larger and having roughly twice as many testes as the latter species.
