Mosquitoes were collected for virus isolation tests from 36 sites in Bradford, Lake, Leon, Manatee, Orange, Osceola, Pasco, Putnam, and Sarasota counties, FL, from April 6 through October 11, 1993. A total of 158,129 adult specimens were collected in 726 trap nights using CDC light traps, usually baited with dry ice. At least 35 species were represented, although 60% of the collections was made up of 3 species (Aedes infirmatus, 6.5%; Anopheles crucians, 14.4%; and Culex nigripalpus, 39.4%). Four of the 36 collecting sites were located at waste-tire sites, where 254 trap nights yielded 27,455 specimens (17.4% of 9-county total). Forty-three virus strains were isolated from 2,812 mosquito pools consisting of 158,129 specimens. The viruses isolated include eastern equine encephalitis (EEE), 5 strains; Everglades (EVE), 2 strains; Keystone (KEY), 6 strains; Tensaw (TEN), 21 strains; trivittatus (TVT), one strain; Shark River (SR), one strain; and Flanders (FLA), one strain. In addition, 2 strains that are either KEY or Jamestown Canyon (JC) virus, and 4 ungrouped viruses remain to be identified. Twenty-one (48.8%) of the 43 virus strains were isolated from mosquitoes collected at waste-tire sites as follows: EEE (1), KEY (5), KEY/JC (1), TEN (13), and one ungrouped virus. The vector relations of the viruses are discussed and the potential importance of waste-tire sites as breeding habitats and harborages for vector and nuisance species is emphasized.
