"Untersuchung zur Culicidenfauna in Deutschland mit besonderer Berücksichtigung des Culex pipiens-Komplexes und der Vektorkompetenz für Nematoden und Protozoen"^^ . "The present study was performed aiming to investigate a large number and a wide variety of mosquitoes\r\nfrom various regions of Germany for the presence of defined groups of parasites. Accordingly, during\r\nthree successive years between 2010 and 2012, more than 140.000 mosquitoes, trapped at various\r\nsites in Germany, were characterized and analysed. The selected trapping sites, most of them located\r\nin southwest and northeast Germany, are known tor their abundant occurrence of mosquitoes, such\r\nas the foodplains of the river Isar. In addition, some of them represent important stepping stones for\r\nmigrating birds, such as the Lake Chiemsee or the Lake Constance.\r\nThe mosquitoes were characterized on the basis of morphological criteria. The results indicated, that\r\nthe main autochthonous species generally present in Germany were trapped, in particular abundant\r\nspecies such as Aedes vexans and Culex pipiens s. l.. As morphological criteria do not allow the\r\ndiscrimination of members of the Culex pipiens complex or between females of Culex pipiens and\r\nCulex torrentium, a multiplex real-time PCR was developed for the rapid genetic differentiation of\r\nthe various Culex species and biotypes. Using this method, hybrids of Cx. pipiens pipiens biotype\r\npipiens and biotype molestus were detected in Germany for the first time. These hybrids are known\r\nas important bridge vectors for the transmission of West Nile virus from birds to humans.\r\nTo fascilitate the detection of parasites in such a large number of mosquio samples within a reasoonable\r\nperiod of time, further multiplex real-time PCR assays were developed to allow analyses of\r\nrespective microbial DNAs by high-throughput screening. The results indicated that a considerable\r\nnumber of German mosquitoes are carrying filariae. In this context, a new filarial species was detected,\r\noccuring primarily in southern Germany. The reservoir of this new filarial species is probably birds, as\r\nit was detected mainly in ornithophilic mosquitoes. Studies on Dirofilaria immitis, Dirofilaria repens\r\nas well as Onchocerca lupi, three zoonotic filarial species endemis in southern Europe and pathofenic\r\nfor humans, revealed the detection of a focus of stable transmission of D. repens in the federal state\r\nof Brandenburg. This rilarial species was detected in several mosquito catches from 2011 and 2012,\r\nalong the Oder Valley in the vincinity of the town of Eberswalde.\r\nAs there were reports on cases of avian malaira in the zoo of Heidelberg in 2010 screening of mosquitoes\r\nwas extended for the presence of Haemosporidia, such as Haemoproteus sp., Leukocytozoon\r\nsp. or Plasmodium sp.. A multiplex real-time PCR was developed able to detect nematodes as well\r\nas blood protozoans. Depending on the catchment area, more than 70 % of the mosquitoes were\r\npositive for at least one of the two groups of parasites."^^ . "2013" . . . . . . . "Christina"^^ . "Czajka"^^ .
