A female mosquito takes a blood meal to: - ๐โโโProduce eggs. The three main body parts of an adult mosquito are: - ๐โโโHead, abdomen and thorax. Mosquito larvae are typically found in: - ๐โโโShallow and still or stagnant water. The genus of mosquito having palps roughly as long as the proboscis is: - ๐โโโAnopheles. Mosquito larvae breathe: - ๐โโโThrough respiratory openings near the tip of the abdomen. Some mosquitoes lay their eggs: - ๐โโโOn damp soil. The number of mosquito species in MI is approximately: - ๐โโโSixty ( 60 ). A mosquito goes through four stages of development: - ๐โโโEgg, larva, pupa and adult. The three classes of MI mosquitoes, based on breeding sites, are: - ๐โโโFloodwater, permanent water and container/tree hole mosquitoes. Insects that are often confused with mosquitoes are: - ๐โโโMidges. The human age group most likely to have severe symptoms for La Crosse encephalitis (CE group) are: - ๐โโโChildren.
A "dead end host" is one that: - ๐โโโIs outside of the natural transmission cycle of the virus. SLE and WN disease are caused by viruses that have a natural transmission cycle involving several species of: - ๐โโโWild birds. Which of the following mosquito species is primarily responsible for transmitting the West Nile virus? - ๐โโโCulex pipiens. The natural transmission cycle of La Crosse virus involves mostly: - ๐โโโSmall mammals and Aedes triseriatus. The most important mosquito-borne diseases in MI are caused by: - ๐โโโViruses. Heartworm infection in dogs in MI is vectored by: - ๐โโโMore than 25% of the mosquito species in MI. EEE is a mosquito-transmitted virus that causes a severe central nervous system disease in: - ๐โโโHorses and humans. Jamestown Canyon virus affects what animal, causing the continued growth of the virus? - ๐โโโDeer, specifically white-tailed deer. Isolated primarily from woodland Aedes mosquitoes. If human malaria resurfaced in MI, which mosquito group would you target for control? - ๐โโโAnopheles. EEE virus: - ๐โโโEastern Equine Encephalitis. Spread through wild birds to humans and horses. SLE virus: - ๐โโโSt. Louis Encephalitis. Spread through wild birds to humans. WN virus: - ๐โโโWest Nile. Spread through wild birds to humans.
An adulticide registered for use in MI is? - ๐โโโMalathion. To target mosquitoes, adulticide droplets should fall in the size range of: - ๐โโโ 5 - 27 Of microns. An example of a larvicide registered for use in MI is: - ๐โโโTemephos. Gambusia affinis is particularly effective against: - ๐โโโLarval mosquitoes. Which is NOT a component of effective public relations? - ๐โโโDiscussing only the beneficial aspects of a pesticide to avoid confusing the customer. Keeping current with technology and joining professional organizations is: - ๐โโโSecondary to proper application. Many mosquito control programs are under direction of: - ๐โโโEntomologists. All mosquito control equipment can be divided into these two general categories: - ๐โโโULV and thermal. A type of adulticiding that leaves a residual to create a barrier is typically applied using: - ๐โโโAerial methods. ULV: - ๐โโโUltra low volume. Compression sprayers are typically used for: - ๐โโโLarvaciding. The adulticiding unit that produces a superheated cloud of pesticide is known as: - ๐โโโThermal fogger. Emulsifiable concentrate formulations are used: - ๐โโโWhen short term residual is desired.
In most cases, the most efficient control of mosquito population is: - ๐โโโLarvaciding. Aircraft larvaciding is used for: - ๐โโโPossible with both rotary and fixed-wing versions. Application of adulticides with ULV methods should be done when: - ๐โโโTemperature is above 55* F and wind speed is below 10 mph. A hand-held broadcast spreader is: - ๐โโโUsed for application of larvicide in hard-to-access areas. Insecticide evaluations in a mosquito control operation are important for: - ๐โโโTesting the effectiveness of new application techniques. Evaluation of a new insecticide formulation for adulticiding would likely include: - ๐โโโSentinel caged mosquitoes. What larvicide can NOT be evaluated by taking pre and post treatment dipper samples in the field? - ๐โโโMethroprene (growth regulator). When evaluating insecticides, samples of control areas are made: - ๐โโโTo allow determination of any treatment effect. What mosquito species are difficult to evaluate when testing larvicides? - ๐โโโConquillettidia perturbans. A comprehensive evaluation of insecticides on non-target organisms is called: - ๐โโโAn environmental impact study. Resistance in mosquito populations to some control materials... - ๐โโโRequires specific testing protocols.
Spinosad is a relatively new larvicide that can be applied: - ๐โโโIn a wide variety of larval habitats, including stormwater catch basins. Pyrethroids and organophosphates are: - ๐โโโUsed primarily in adulticiding. Which is not listed on the product label? - ๐โโโChemical formulas of all ingredients. Prior written notification of individuals who own or reside on property within a community mosquito control target area can be conveyed by: - ๐โโโWritten notification direct to resident. The MDA (Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development) maintains what type of registry that pesticide applicators should be aware of? - ๐โโโCertified organic farm registry. A commercial applicator planning to apply larvicides to a catch basin for mosquito control purposes... - ๐โโโIs required to obtain a Certification R97-07/002 from the DNR (Department of Natural Resources) before making applications to basins. The "waters of the state" refers to: - ๐โโโAll bodies of water in MI. A pesticide used to control mosquitoes is intended to control, prevent or reduce the risk that mosquitoes can cause to the health of: - ๐โโโHumans, domestic animals and wildlife. Off-target drift is defined as: - ๐โโโThe physical movement of pesticides at the time of application from the site of application to any non targeted site. When a liquid pesticide solution is sprayed for mosquito control by ground spraying equipment or aircraft, pesticide droplet size is determined primarily by: - ๐โโโThe nozzles of the application equipment. If the pesticide droplets generated from mosquito spraying are too small, what could happen? - ๐โโโThe droplets may stay suspended in air can be carried by air currents beyond the target area.
Commercial applicators are required to maintain records of all general-use insecticide applications for a period of: - ๐โโโ 1 year. Commercial applicators are required to maintain records of all restricted-use insecticide applications for a period of: - ๐โโโ 3 years. A mixing and loading facility for non-aerial commercial applicators is: - ๐โโโA site where pesticides are transferred from containers into application equipment.
