The use of CDC light traps and other procedures for sampling malaria vectors in southern Iran.

An investigation was carried out over a year in the village of Chelow, Hormozgan Province, southern Iran, to study the efficacy of CDC light traps for sampling malaria vectors. The CDC light traps were useful in determining the seasonal and habitat distribution of Anopheles stephensi and An. fluviatilis, the primary and secondary vectors of malaria, in Chelow, as well as other mosquitoes in that area. Light traps compared favorably with other adult mosquito collection techniques for detecting the presence of vectors during periods of low density. In Iran, time and labor-saving features and flexibility for use in different situations make CDC light traps a useful sampling tool in the entomological assessment of malaria control programs.

Characterization of an Indian isolate of cucumber mosaic virus infecting Egyptian henbane (Hyoscyamus muticus L.).

A cucumber mosaic virus isolate was found to be associated with mottle crinkle and severe mosaic disease of Egyptian henbane (Hyoscyamus muticus L.). The virus has been characterized as an Indian isolate of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) based on non-persistent transmission by aphid, presence of 28-nm isometric particles, capsid protein of 26 K and single-stranded tripartite RNA genome with a subgenomic RNA (RNA 4). There was no evidence of satellite RNA genome. The isolate showed a strong serological relationship with S and A strains of CMV (CMV-S and CMV-A) in double diffusion test. A band of the 26 K capsid protein was also detected by Western blot analysis using antibodies specific to CMV-S.
