Notes from a Cold Island: Grímsey

Notes from a Cold Island: Grímsey. This trip, we explored the little island of Grímsey, right on the (moving!) Arctic Circle. An enchanting place where birds outnumber humans one million to 67.

After our very successful road trip around the country in June and a long weekend in the Westfjorðs in July, we managed to take one more trip in late August. This time, to the enchanting little island of Grímsey. In Icelandic, the word ey means island, and is pronounced like they -ey in the greeting “hey”. In the summer, Grímsey is far from grim. Located 40 km from the mainland coast, it’s the…

Sticky BR-OVT: A Trap to Collect Culicids Eggs and Adult Mosquitoes | Chapter 8 | Current Trends in Disease and Health Vol. 3

Introduction: Culex quinquefasciatus is a mosquito of importance to public health, as it represents a potential risk for the transmission of pathogens to humans, such as some arthropod-borne viruses and nematodes that cause filariasis. In Brazil, three municipalities in Pernambuco (state of Northeast of Brazil) that are endemic for lymphatic filariasis conducted control actions targeting this vector. With the aim of contributing novel C. quinquefasciatus collection strategies, a sticky trap capable of collecting eggs and imprisoning mosquitoes was investigated.

Methods: We adapted the oviposition BR-OVT trap to collect culicids eggs and adult C. quinquefasciatus and evaluated the performance of the sticky BR-OVT trap in two neighborhoods of Olinda-PE-Brazil (Caixa d’Água and Passarinho) between August 2011 and June 2012. Sixty traps were installed in the indoor areas of residences in the two districts.

Results: During the 11-month study, more than 100 Culex egg rafts, 1,430 C. quinquefasciatus. Additionally, 363 Aedes mosquitoes were caught by sticky BR-OVT traps. In these collections, female specimens were predominated in the traps: 59% of C. quinquefasciatus and 96% of Aedes spp. Conclusions: The results demonstrated that the sticky BR-OVT trap is a useful tool for the collection of adult culicids of medical importance and offers an innovative way to collect C. quinquefasciatus eggs and adults in a single trap.

William’s a London child. His commute to nursery passes railway tracks and city streets, as well as a walk through a rather nice park. The animals my grandson sees on his daily round are dogs-on-leads, cats and urban foxes.

We wanted Yorkshire to offer him something different. On his very first afternoon, we visited two-day-old lambs in the field at the end of the road, wobbly on their legs and clinging to their mothers. Later we’d visit older lambs, confidently running and jumping across a public footpath as William wandered among them.

Confident lambs, confident William.

Then it was off to the duck pond. Two Mrs. Moorhens had a chick each, so light that even pond weed could bear their weight: were they walking on water? Mrs. Mallard had eight balls of fluff scuttling from land to pond to rushes – constantly on the move.

The next morning, good friends Gill and David invited us over. There were puppies to pet, dogs and a cat to stroke. And then there was Reggie, their grandson’s very own Thelwell pony. Reggie turned out to be far too scary to ride, but perfectly good to take for a walk.

Gill, William and Sarah take Reggie walkabout.

Then William was put to work, collecting eggs. He didn’t break very many as he dropped them none too gently into his collecting basket. Afterwards he fed the hens. And we went home for scrambled eggs on toast. Thank you William. Thank you Gill, David and the hens.

William’s collecting eggs….

…. and feeding the hens.

William’s personally-gathered eggs for a scrambled egg lunch. Mmm….

Late one afternoon, William and I went for a walk in the woods and saw rabbits, a dozen or more, grazing the grass on the other side of the fence.

I wonder if it was one of them who left the chocolate eggs that William found in the garden when he went hunting for them on Easter Sunday?

Hunting for the Easter Bunny’s eggs.
