From Francis.Gilbert at nottingham.ac.uk Mon Dec 3 09:35:49 2012 From: Francis.Gilbert at nottingham.ac.uk (Francis Gilbert) Date: Mon, 3 Dec 2012 09:35:49 +0000 Subject: [Syrphidae] message from Anatolii Message-ID: <37D2AE0AED301E4ABCCD948B16BD78AA3FE86ACC4C@EXCHANGE1.ad.nottingham.ac.uk> hi everyone Further to my recent email, Anatolii has found out that against the type of encephalitis in the Altai, the Tomsk vaccine works best. The Moscow vaccine is less effective, while the Austrian/German vaccine only works against European forms of encephalitis, not those of the Altai. In case you cannot get vaccinated, do not worry. Thousands of unvaccinated people visit the Altai every year and only a few get bitten by mites and ticks, only a very small proportion of which carry encephalitis. It's just a precautionary measure. This was the same for my visit some years ago to the Far East. The risk is low of being bitten by a tick that carries the disease. Very few local people suffered. But sometimes the consequences can be serious. Again, please forward this email to anyone who might not be on the list.

After a short walk, it was normal to find 5-10 ticks crawling on your legs or sleeves...... best wishes, Sander ________________________________ From: Francis Gilbert To: Hoverfly discussion list Sent: Monday, December 3, 2012 10:35 AM Subject: [Syrphidae] message from Anatolii hi everyone ?

Although it is not very comfortable to sleep on the coach, by doing so we save two days for collecting insects, plus we do not have to spend money on extra nights in the hotel. ?If anyone would like to stay in Novosibirsk after the 26th June, we can reserve additional rooms in the hotel in the city of Novosibirsk.?

As part of his studies, he used choice and no-choice feeding experiments comparing the number of aphids consumed in relation to their stage of parasitization (non-parasitized, early stage of parasitization, and mummified aphids), and found significant effects. I am aware of syrphid studies looking at oviposition discrimination by female flies according to parasitism, but am wondering whether any of you know of other studies on larval discrimination?
