a large-scale field trial of malathion as an insecticide for antimalarial work in southern uganda.	malathion shows promise as a substitute for chlorinated-hydrocarbon insecticides in the control of malaria whenever the latter are unsuitable because of anopheles resistance or other reasons. a field trial of malathion was carried out in 1963-64, covering an area of about 500 km(2) with a population of about 26 000, in masaka district, southern uganda. all houses and animal shelters were sprayed with malathion at 2 g/m(2) at roughly 4-month intervals. the average combined densities of the female ...	1967	5299860
vectors of the 1969 yellow fever epidemic on the jos plateau, nigeria.	entomological investigations of the possible mosquito vectors of the yellow fever epidemic on the jos plateau, nigeria, were carried out between 27 october and 15 november 1969.of the 5 species of aedes (stegomyia) collected, ae. luteocephalus was the most abundant in human-bait captures. ae. aegypti, ae. africanus, and ae. vittatus were collected in low numbers. the aegypti larval index in the areas investigated was very low and the species was not considered to be the primary vector in the epi ...	1972	4403105
seasonal vector density and disease incidence patterns of malaria in an area of zimbabwe.	anopheline mosquitoes were studied in an area of zimbabwe to correlate their population densities with seasonality in malaria incidence. four trapping methods were employed for adult mosquitoes: pit traps, outdoor and indoor man-baited nets and a sheep-baited net. anopheles funestus exhibited two population peaks during the year, one in march and the other in september/october. the following over-all proportions of the an. gambiae complex were recorded: an. gambiae giles (2.5%), an. arabiensis p ...	1985	4002287
different malaria control activities in an area of liberia--effects on malariometric parameters.	the epidemiology of malaria was studied in a west african mining town (yekepa) and three surrounding zones defined as close, middle and far areas. malariometric parameters were investigated in children two to nine years of age at the end of the rainy season. in yekepa, vector control measures and intense suppression of malaria with drugs had created an almost hypoendemic situation with a spleen rate of 11%. in close area, vector control was applied to some extent and malaria drugs were frequentl ...	1985	3896168
the changed pattern of malaria endemicity and transmission at amani in the eastern usambara mountains, north-eastern tanzania.	parasitological and entomological studies on malaria were conducted between 1980 and 1982 on the amani hills in the eastern usambara mountains of north-eastern tanzania. malaria vectors were scarce on the amani hills until the late 1960s and it was generally presumed that any cases of malaria transmission must have been contracted by people while visiting lower altitudes where malaria is holoendemic. however, the malaria vectors anopheles funestus and an. gambiae have both become more abundant d ...	1987	3586093
reappearance of anopheles funestus as a malaria vector in the antananarivo region, madagascar.		1988	3256124
[epidemiologic study of malaria in the rice-growing regions of yagoua and maga (north cameroon)].	the results of the malaria investigation carried out in april 1981 in the irrigated regions of the logone valley show that plasmodium falciparum is the only species o. the genus plasmodium to be found there. in terms of parasitaemia in blood, the prevalence of malaria is highest in the 5 to 9 year-old age group, whereas fluorescent antibodies are to be found progressively greater quantities as subjects grow older. from the age of 40, 95% of the inhabitants of the region present circulating antib ...	1985	2863004
the current state of studies of malaria vectors and the antivectorial campaign in west africa.	most malaria transmission in west africa is by anopheles funestus and an. gambiae s.l. an. funestus is not very polymorphic and is generally susceptible to currently used insecticides. an. gambiae in contrast is very polymorphic. on the basis of chromosomal polymorphism an. gambiae can be divided into forest and savannah forms. the savannah forms in turn exist as several types, viz. bissau, mopti and bamako. insecticide susceptibility does not correlate with chromosomal type in most cases; never ...	1989	2696159
effect of human circumsporozoite antibodies in plasmodium-infected anopheles (diptera: culicidae).	human circumsporozoite (cs) antibodies to plasmodium falciparum were detected in blood meals from 45.0% of 1,547 field-collected anopheles gambiae giles sensu lato and anopheles funestus giles from western kenya. possible effects on malaria infections within the anopheles host were investigated. circumsporozoite antibodies were detected in blood meals up to 36 h after feeding. antibodies crossing the midgut were detected experimentally in hemolymph from 4 to 36 h after feeding; human igg also wa ...	1989	2685310
characterization of malaria transmission by anopheles (diptera: culicidae) in western kenya in preparation for malaria vaccine trials.	malaria transmission was studied for 33 mo in the villages of kisian and saradidi in western kenya in preparation for field trials of malaria vaccines. abundance estimates of anopheles gambiae giles sensu lato and anopheles funestus giles, which constituted over 99% of 26,645 anophelines collected, were compared for all-night biting collections inside houses, outdoors, and in tents. the overall numbers of anopheles per man-night were 2.3 times greater in kisian than in saradidi. for the three ty ...	1990	2388233
[the importance of anopheles funestus in the transmission of malaria in the hamlet of mahitsy, in tananarive, madagascar].	this survey carried out in 1989, confirms the part played by an. funestus in the transmission of malaria, in some villages of the malagasy highlands.	1990	2350839
[ecological factors in the renewed outbreak of malaria in madagascar].	the new epidemic of malaria which spread on the madagascar high plateau in 1986-1987 is due to the combination of several factors (some of which are analysed by the authors, especially those related to anopheles, parasite and man). the authors compare the situations on the high plateau and on st mary island, on the east madagascar coast, where the malaria is stable. concerning the vector, the most interesting fact is the come-back of anopheles funestus on the high plateau from which it had disap ...	1990	2208464
effect of plasmodium falciparum on the survival of naturally infected afrotropical anopheles (diptera: culicidae).	the effect of the malarial parasite, plasmodium falciparum welch, on the daily survival rates and longevity of anopheles gambiae giles sensu lato and anopheles funestus giles was determined for wild-caught, naturally infected females from western kenya. mosquitoes were collected inside houses and held in cages until death, after which they were assayed for p. falciparum circumsporozoite protein by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa). survival rates of field populations determined by par ...	1990	2201768
malaria sporozoite detection by dissection and elisa to assess infectivity of afrotropical anopheles (diptera: culicidae).	malaria infection rates determined by dissection and plasmodium falciparum enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) were compared for 26,935 anopheles gambiae giles sensu lato and 17,739 anopheles funestus giles collected during 20 mo in western kenya. elisa infection rates were about 43% higher than dissection sporozoite rates. in dissection-negative anopheles, circumsporozoite (cs) protein was detected by elisa in 5.2% of 10,017 salivary gland samples and in 12.2% of 237 thorax samples. the a ...	1990	2185363
[field trial of the efficacy of 3 pyrethroids in the control of malaria vectors].	three pyrethroids, oms-3002, oms-3004 and oms-3021 were tested in the experimental station of soumousso (burkina faso), a who reference centre. total indoor house-spraying was carried out in bobo and mossi huts, using a hudson type sprayer at doses of 1 g/m2 for oms-3002, 0.1 g/m2 for oms-3004 and oms-3021. the density of anopheles gambiae and anopheles funestus collected in huts treated with oms-3002 was reduced by 70%: a 94% exit rate was observed in the treated huts (compared to 33% in the co ...	1991	1844500
quantitation of malaria sporozoites transmitted in vitro during salivation by wild afrotropical anopheles.	the malaria transmission potential of wild, infective anopheles from western kenya was evaluated by determining the number of sporozoites transmitted in vitro by salivation when their mouthparts were inserted into capillary tubes containing either sucrose or blood. with sucrose, 86.6% of 102 infective anopheles transmitted a geometric mean (gm) of 3.84 sporozoites (range 1-34). with blood, 23.1% of 104 infective anopheles, tested on the day of collection, transmitted a gm of 2.30 sporozoites (ra ...	1991	1768903
ookinete rates in afrotropical anopheline mosquitoes as a measure of human malaria infectiousness.	anopheles gambiae s.1. and an. funestus were sampled for plasmodium spp. ookinetes in two p. falciparum-endemic sites in western kenya. since the ookinete is a transitional stage of short duration, occurring after fertilization and before oocyst development, only females in the half-gravid and gravid stages of blood digestion were examined. preparations of homogenized midguts were spotted onto microslides and examined microscopically after staining with giemsa. overall, ookinetes were detected i ...	1992	1636882
hut entry and exit by anopheles gambiae and anopheles funestus in an unsprayed village near kaduna in northern nigeria.	hut entry and exit by an. gambiae and an. funestus were studied in an unsprayed village near kaduna in northern nigeria. a high turn-over of indoor resting mosquitoes of all blood digestion stages was noted throughout the night. the behaviour of both species was similar. the entry pattern was more uniform than the exit which showed two distinct peaks around sunset and after midnight. most of the daytime resting mosquitoes left the huts during the first hour after sunset, and therefore the mosqui ...	1976	1032326
empidomermis cozii n.gen., n.sp. (mermithidae: nematoda) a parasite of anopheles funestus (culicidae: diptera) in west africa.		1977	907930
malaria along the southernmost fringe of its distribution in africa: epidemiology and control.	after more than thirty years of malaria control in northern transvaal with residual insecticides, malaria prevalence has been reduced to a low level. however, low-grade transmission of plasmodium falciparum continues, with periodic focal outbreaks after abnormally high rainfall. from october 1973 to september 1976, the operational and epidemiological factors involved in this residual transmission were studied in over 17 000 people of an area of northern transvaal. incidence surveys based on the ...	1977	330017
the survival in nature of wuchereia-infected anopheles funestus giles in north-eastern tanzania.	hungry anopheles funestus females were caught in cdc light traps positioned overnight in village houses in which the occupants were protected by bed nets. the sampling was performed in six huts near muheza, in north-eastern tanzania, september to november 1972. parous, unfed mosquitoes were carefully examined, usually under phase-contrast optics, for the presence of developing wuchereria bancrofti larvae. because a. funestus seek blood meals at three-day intervals, most filariae were three, six, ...	1977	327630
arbovirus isolations from mosquitoes: kano plain, kenya.	arbovirus isolation attempts on 324,486 mosquitoes captured over a four-year period on the kano plain, kenya, yielded 15 isolates including pongola (six strains), ilesha (three strains), germiston (two strains), sindbis (one strain), barur (one strain) and two viruses which could not be characterized. mansonia uniformis, anopheles gambiae and culex antennatus constituted 70% of the total collection and accounted for all of the isolates except one, which came from anopheles funestus.	1977	24288
