Abstract The environment is an important factor in transmitting vector-borne diseases where an environment is a place of interaction between hosts, agents, and vectors. The existence of mosquitoes as a vector of various types of diseases is influenced by the existence of mosquito breeding habitats in an area. The results of mapping can be a guide to finding larva habitat when carrying out vector control. In addition, there is no map of larva habitat in Cibalong Subdistrict, Garut Regency so that mapping of breeding sites and behavior of mosquitoes becomes very important. The purpose of this study was to map the mosquito larval habitats in Cibalong District, Garut regency. Data collection was done by plotting habitats using Global Positioning System (GPS) and larva identifications using a compound microscope. Habitat larvae found in Karangparanje, Karyasari Village and Sakambangan, Mekarwangi Village, dominated by rice fields and water streams. While larvae found were Culex sp, Anopheles sp, Aedes sp, and Malaya sp. This finding confirmed that  Cibalong District receptive as a transmitting area of ​​Malaria, DHF, and Filaria, so it is necessary to be aware of the possibility of transmission of vector-borne diseases in those areas. Abstrak Lingkungan merupakan faktor penting dalam penularan penyakit tular vektor di mana lingkungan merupakan tempat berinteraksi antara host , agen dan vektor. Keberadaan nyamuk sebagai vektor berbagai macam penyakit dipengaruhi oleh keberadaan habitat perkembangbiakan nyamuk di suatu wilayah. Hasil suatu pemetaan dapat menjadi panduan untuk menemukan habitat jentik pada saat melakukan pengendalian vektor. Selain itu belum adanya suatu peta habitat jentik di Kecamatan Cibalong Kabupaten Garut sehingga pemetaan tempat perkembangbiakan dan perilaku nyamuk menjadi sangat penting. Tujuan kajian ini untuk memetakan habitat jentik nyamuk di Kecamatan Cibalong  Kabupaten Garut. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan membuat titik (plotting)  habitat dengan menggunakan Global Positioning System (GPS) dan identifikasi jentik menggunakan mikroskop binokuler. Habitat jentik yang ditemukan di  Dusun Karangparanje Desa Karyasari dan Dusun Sakambangan Desa Mekarwangi, didominasi oleh sawah dan aliran sungai. Sedangkan jentik yang ditemukan yaitu Culex sp, Anopheles sp, Aedes sp dan Malaya sp. Hal ini menjadikan Kecamatan Cibalong reseptif sebagai daerah penular malaria, DBD, dan filaria, sehingga perlu diwaspadai kemungkinan terjadinya penularan penyakit tular vektor di wilayah tersebut.

Abstract. Hamaidia K, Soltani N. 2021. Short communication: New report of Aedes albopictus in Souk Ahras, Northeast Algeria. Biodiversitas 22: 2901-2906. The present paper reports the occurrence of Aedes albopictus (Skuse), an aggressive Asian tiger mosquito in the city of Souk-Ahras (Northeast of Algeria). A “26 April” estate’ inhabitants (Souk-Ahras province) have reported unusual daytime bites by a striped mosquito. On early September 2020, an intensive field inspection was carried out for potential mosquito breeding sites in the locations around the city. A total of 105 specimens (8 larvae, 24 pupae and 73 adults) of Ae. albopictus were collected in a pile of old tyres in a residential garden. After previous records of this species in Algeria, this is the first evidence of its presence in Souk-Ahras province, and the findings enhance combined public participation with professional validation in surveillance of vector borne-diseases programs with emphasis on the need for sensitising citizens about controlling this important vector.

Abstract Dual-axis accelerometer global positioning system collars can be used to remotely record the activity level and behavior of free-ranging animals, but inter- and intraspecific variations in motion among behaviors necessitate calibration for each species of interest. To date, little work has been done to determine the best duration for sampling intervals when using activity monitors that incorporate dual-axis accelerometers. However, we expected that the duration of behaviors relative to the duration of sampling intervals could affect the accuracy of calibration and behavior classification models. Furthermore, we considered the potential effect of winter diet supplementation (hay) on behavior classification. We used Lotek 4500 global positioning system collars featuring dual-axis accelerometer activity monitors to collect data for calibration and classification trials on Rocky Mountain elk Cervus elaphus nelsoni. We used discriminant function model structures to determine the number of accurately classifiable behaviors that could be derived from data sampled over three sampling interval durations (5 min, 152 s, and 64 s) while also considering the potential effect of hay supplementation on classification. Our results suggest that investigators should ascertain whether their focal elk herd accesses or might access supplemental hay before deployment and analysis of activity sensor data. Similarly, researchers must weigh priorities when choosing a sampling interval, because no optimal solution emerged from our investigation. For example, of our acceptable models, only those constructed using 64-s intervals were able to distinguish short bouts of running. However, only models constructed with 5-min intervals accurately classified browsing while also maximizing the number of behaviors identified.

Malaria merupakan masalah kesehatan utama di Purworejo terutama pada daerah perbukitan yang berbatasan dengan Kabupaten Magelang, Provinsi Jawa Tengah dan Kabupaten Kulonprogo, Provinsi Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta. Daerah perbukitan tersebut merupakan daerah reseptif malaria. Keberadaan dari habitat perkembangbiakan vektor malaria yang berdekatan dengan pemukiman serta terjadi setiap musim, menyebabkan penularan malaria terjadi sepanjang tahun. Pemetaan spasial tempat perkembangbiakan vektor malaria dapat membantu penelusuran dan tindak lanjut intervensi terhadap pengendalian vektor malaria. Survei dan pemetaan tempat perkembangbiakan vektor malaria dilakukan menggunakan Global Positioning System (GPS) dan hasilnya diolah dengan ArcGIS. Penelitian dilakukan pada bulan April-November 2018 di Purworejo. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tempat perkembangbiakan vektor malaria pada musim kemarau adalah genangan air di sepanjang aliran sungai dan mata air di sekitar pemukiman; dalam bentuk genangan-genangan kecil yang terisi sedikit air. Tempat perkembangbiakan dalam kondisi terlindung dengan adanya tanaman atau pepohonan. Tindakan intervensi yang tepat adalah dengan mengeringkan tempat perkembangbiakan vektor, membuat perlindungan mata air, larvasidasi pada musim kemarau serta penggunaan kelambu berinsektisida pada masyarakat di sekitar tempat perkembangbiakan vektor. Penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa identifikasi tempat perkembangbiakan vektor malaria pada musim kemarau di sepanjang aliran sungai dan mata air.

Global Positioning System (GPS) radio-collars are increasingly used to estimate Gray Wolf (Canis lupus) kill rates. In interpreting results from this technology, researchers make various assumptions about wolf behavior around kills, yet no detailed description of this behavior has been published. This article describes the behavior of six wolves in an area of constant daylight during 30 hours, from when the pack killed a Muskox (Ovibos moschatus) calf and yearling on Ellesmere Island, Nunavut, Canada, to when they abandoned the kill remains. Although this is only a single incident, it demonstrates one possible scenario of pack behavior around a kill. Combined with the literature, this observation supports placing a radio-collar on the breeding male to maximize finding kills via GPS collars and qualifying results depending on whatever other information is available about the collared wolf’s pack.

Mosquitoes have always played an important role in transmitting a wide range of viral and parasitic diseases to humans and animals. Given that so far there has been no study on the fauna, distribution and characteristics of mosquito habitats in Qir and Karzin County, we decided to investigate these unknown data in this important tropical area in south of Iran for the first time. Adult mosquitoes were collected by hand-catch and total catch methods from indoor and outdoor places in Qir and Karzin Counties from four different geographical regions during the activity seasons of mosquitoes in 2017-18. Also, larvae were collected from aquatic habitats using WHO recommended standard dipper. Collected mosquitoes were identified using valid taxonomic keys. A total of 1884 specimens of Culicidae mosquitoes (1103 adults and 781 larvae) were collected from twenty-one sampling areas during the mosquito activity seasons in Qir and Karzin County. Totally 11 species in 3 genera (7 Culex, 3 Anopheles and 1 Culiseta species) were identified. The dominant larva was Cx. laticinctus with a total number of 227 (29%), and Cx. sinaiticus with 407 specimens (36.9%) which was the most frequent adult mosquito. Most larval habitats in this area were sunny and almost without vegetation breeding sites with temporary, turbid and stagnant water. In this region, compared to the area of the County, there was considerable species diversity for mosquitoes. This phenomenon is very important from an ecological and health point of view. Due to the existence of some important vectors of arthropod-borne diseases in this region, the health system should be alert and continuous and accurate monitoring of these vectors should be included in the routine vector-borne diseases control program.

This paper examines the distribution of hospitality services in Uyo Urban, Nigeria. GIS method was the primary tool used for data collection. A global positioning system (GPS) Garmin 60 model was used in tracking the location of 102 hospitality services in the study area. One hypothesis was stated and tested using the nearest neighbour analysis. The finding shows evidence of clustering of the various hospitality services. The tested hypothesis further indicated that hospitality services clustered in areas that guarantee a sustainable level of patronage to maximize profit. Thus, the hospitality services clustered in selected streets in the metropolis while limited numbers were found outside the city’s central area.
