| a theoretical model of the dynamics of an anopheles gambiae population under challenge with eggs giving rise to sterile males. | an explanation is given of the probable effects of seeding a breeding place of anopheles gambiae with hybrid eggs that produce almost exclusively sterile males. for the calculations, the dynamics of an a. gambiae population in a single breeding place have been simulated in a computer programme.general considerations and implications are discussed with reference to practical applications, and the conclusion is reached that it will be feasible to eradicate the species from any breeding place only ... | 1969 | 5306541 |
| the potential use of sterile hybrid males for the eradication of member species of the anopheles gambiae complex. | the eradication of certain insect pests of medical importance has already been achieved in some countries by inundation of the natural populations with sterilized insects.the crossing of member species of the anopheles gambiae complex results in the production of vigorous competitive males which are sterile. crosses between the males of the freshwater species, provisionally called species a and b, and the females of the saltwater species a. melas and a. merus result in f(1) generations almost en ... | 1969 | 5306543 |
| malaria vectorial capacity of a population of anopheles gambiae: an exercise in epidemiological entomology. | in order to assess the factors of malaria vectorial capacity and the daily reproduction rate, separate consideration is given to data from kankiya, northern nigeria, concerning the incidence of vector-man contact (the man-biting rate), the vector's expectation of infective life, as reflected by the proportion of parous mosquitos under certain conditions, and the vector's man-biting habit, comprising the frequency of feeding and the human blood index. the main difficulty in the assessment of each ... | 1969 | 5306719 |
| preliminary investigation on the use of a light-trap for sampling malaria vectors in the gambia. | light-traps have been used successfully as mechanical sampling tools for insects of agricultural importance but medical entomologists have had only limited success because of the assumption that light-traps would attract vectors, even when sited in open fields well away from hosts. the investigations reported in this paper suggest that vectors are attracted primarily by their hosts and that only when light-traps are placed in the immediate vicinity of hosts, or in the narrow flight paths followe ... | 1969 | 5306720 |

| field attempt to assess the mating competitiveness of sterile males produced by crossing 2 member species of the anopheles gambiae complex. | in laboratory experiments sterile males produced by crossing member species of the anopheles gambiae complex competed very successfully with normal males for normal females and the latter when mated with sterile males laid sterile eggs.a field trial was arranged in a small isolated village near bobo-dioulasso, upper volta; the trial took place at the end of the rainy season against a declining population of species a. sterile males were produced from the cross between species b males and an. mel ... | 1970 | 5309520 |
| survival of female anopheles gambiae giles through a 9-month dry season in sudan. | the dry-season biology of a member of the anopheles gambiae complex (probably species b) was studied in 2 areas in the khartoum region of sudan. it was found that in the valley of the white nile the species maintained itself by low-level breeding, as shown by the continuing presence of larvae, male mosquitos and parous females through the dry months (9 months in the year). in the scattered villages of arid areas situated more than 20 km from the nile valley, on the other hand, regular sampling t ... | 1970 | 5310144 |

| partial exophily of anopheles gambiae species b in the khashm elgirba area in eastern sudan. | many anopheles gambiae were found resting outdoors in an area that had been sprayed with ddt, the numbers being particularly large 4 months after the first annual spraying cycle. a high proportion of the resting females had consumed a blood meal. window-trap studies showed that a marked exodus from sprayed huts occurred in the morning. it is concluded that the outside resting of an. gambiae is either a natural habit or the result of the irritant action of ddt. this behaviour of the vector is reg ... | 1972 | 4537333 |
| taxonomic value of spermatheca size for distinguishing four members of the anopheles gambiae complex in east africa. | measurements of spermatheca diameter and wing length were made on 8 east african mosquito populations comprising anopheles merus and a. gambiae species a, species b, and the "bwamba cytotype" (=species d). the results showed that, on average, the spermatheca in species a females is larger than in species b. in each of two tanzanian localities harbouring sympatric populations of a and b an overlap of 20% was observed between the frequency distributions of spermatheca diameter in this pair of spec ... | 1972 | 4538540 |
| inheritance of ddt resistance in species a and b of the anopheles gambiae complex. | it has been reported that anopheles gambiae species a is resistant to ddt in upper volta and togo, and ddt resistance has been found in a sudan strain of species b. the species a strain from upper volta was more resistant to ddt than the togo strain, while the sudan strain of species b was the least resistant. the expression of resistance is genetically determined, and studies on the mode of inheritance have shown that resistance is inherited as a single dominant gene in the togo strain of speci ... | 1972 | 4540681 |

| oogenesis in the malaria mosquito anopheles gambiae. | oogenesis has been followed with the electron microscope in 2 strains of the malaria mosquito anopheles gambiae, from the emergence of the adult (oocytes at leptonema) till shortly before the oocytes are ready for oviposition. after pachynema the chromosomes form a karyosphere and a fibrous capsule develops around it. work on other mosquitoes suggests that the capsule may be related to the synaptonemal complexes. bot anopheles strains contain at some time an extrachromosomal (not dna-containing) ... | 1976 | 1253253 |
| hepatitis b surface antigen (australia antigen) in mosquitoes collected in senegal, west africa. | during july and august of 1973, 9,198 mosquitoes were collected in the republic of senegal. eight species of mosquitoes were found in the collections: culex thalassius, culex pipiens quinquefasciatus, culex trigripes, culex phillipi, aedes irritans, aedes aegypti, anopheles gambiae, and mansonia sp. specimens were sorted by biological condition; those obviously engorged were designated as (e), females with swollen abdomens not conspicuously blooded were considered gravid (g), and those with norm ... | 1976 | 3983 |
| preliminary results of an entomological survey of the potential arbovirus vectors in the french territory of afars and issas. | the preliminary results of an entomological survey of the potential arbovirus vectors in the french territory of afars and issas are exposed. 25 culicid species were recorded, specially anopheles gambiae, culex tritaeniorhynchus, c. univittatus, c. pipiens fatigans, aedes caspius, ae. vittatus, ae. arabiensis. ae. aegypti larvae were collected on a dhow arriving in djibouti. 5 species of ticks and 4 sandfly speices were also recorded. the epidemiological modalities of certain arboviroses in this ... | 1976 | 13940 |
| incidence of arbovirus isolated from mosquitoes in the forest region of south cameroun, region of yaoundé . | the authors give results of a survey of arboviruses isolated from mosquitoes in the neighborhood of yaoundé, southern cameroon, from 1964 to 1972. during this period of nine years 127.520 female mosquitoes including at least 72 species were collected and processed for attempt of virus isolation. 55 strains belonging to 12 viral types were recovered from at least 19 species of mosquitoes. the appearance of different viruses over the years was quite intermittent. a possible reason for this is the ... | 1976 | 16703 |
| the susceptibility of isolated guts from various species of mosquito to some arboviruses. | isolated guts cultured in vitro from aedes aeaegypti and ae. togoi were more susceptible to infection by sin, sf, chik and wn viruses than tissue similarly cultured from anopheles gambiae and an. stephensi. langat tp 64, a tick-borne virus, failed to infect any of the cultured mosquito tissues. | 1976 | 178280 |

| 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 |
| the incidence of mosquitoes feeding on mothers and babies at kisumu, kenya. | blood fed mosquitoes were collected inside four bed nets in which mother/child pairs, having different haptoglobin types, slept. the bloodmeals were analysed by gradient gel electrophoresis to determine on which person the mosquitoes had fed. the results suggest that the mothers are fed on much more than babies by both anopheles gambiae s.l. and culex fatigans. in one hut at least 15.2 per cent of the mosquitoes had taken all or part of their bloodmeal elsewhere. a greater number of double feeds ... | 1978 | 25970 |
| the isolation of a bwamba virus variant from man in western kenya. | a bwamba group virus was isolated from the blood of a febrile child on the kano plain, kenya. the isolate (ny-45), closely resembling bwamba, established infection in both anopheles gambiae and mansonia uniformis. neither the bwamba nor the pongola prototype strains grew in both species. in gel-diffusion tests ny-45 virus passaged through mosquitoes exhibited a line of identity with pongola antiserum. in contrast no cross-reaction was observed with ny-45 virus which had not previously been passa ... | 1978 | 28377 |
