| present perspectives of malaria transmission in boko area of assam. | a longitudinal study on malaria transmission was conducted from january 1984 to december 1988 in three villages in boko phc of assam, where indoor residual ddt spray was withdrawn during the period of study. anopheline fauna comprising of 19 species was identified and their seasonal density estimated. anopheles philippinensis was the predominant species followed by an. minimus. the principal role of an. minimus in the transmission of malaria and predilection for indoor resting in this area was c ... | 1993 | 8014435 |
| cytotaxonomic evidence for the presence of anopheles nivipes in india. | anopheles philippinensis mosquitoes were collected from 5 states in india: assam, meghalaya, arunachal pradesh, manipur, and nagaland. half-gravid females were examined for variations in wing venation using the presector dark mark on vein i and polytene chromosomes derived from ovarian nurse cells. polytene chromosomes were examined for diagnostic inversions, t on chromosome arm 2 and i on arm 5. based on wing characteristics, both an. philippinensis and an. nivipes were identified. polytene chr ... | 2000 | 10901629 |
| potential of anopheles philippinensis-nivipes complex mosquitoes as malaria vector in north-east india. | anopheles philippinensis-nivipes complex mosquitoes, captured in outdoor human landing catches and light traps in human dwellings from four different sites in assam state and adjoining areas, were examined (n=1670) for the presence of circumsporozoite antigen (csa) through enzyme linked immunosorbent assays (elisa), using species specific capture monoclonal antibodies, of plasmodium falciparum and two plasmodium vivax polymorphs (pv 210 and vk 247). in elisa, 28 pools were found positive for csa ... | 2005 | 16459563 |
| taxonomical observations on anopheles philippinensis/nivipes group mosquitoes in north-east india. | to examine the distribution pattern of anopheles philippinensis and an. nivipes, mosquitoes belonging to an. philippinensis/nivipes group were collected from five sites in north-east indian state of assam and its adjoining areas and identified. presence of both an. philippinensis and an. nivipes, with predominance of the latter taxon, was recorded with conformity on the basis of pupal paddle characteristics. based on adult wing characters, 91.4% specimens were identified as an. philippinensis an ... | 2004 | 16506549 |
| characterization of its2 rdna of anopheles philippinensis and anopheles nivipes (diptera: culicidae) from north-east india. | anopheles (cellia) philippinensis ludlow and anopheles (cellia) nivipes (theobald) are two closely related, morphologically very similar, mosquito species in the annularis group, which play a supportive role in malaria transmission in north-east india. we amplified and performed sequence analysis for the internal transcribed spacer 2 (its2) locus of ribosomal dna (rdna) gene of morphologically confirmed specimens of these two species from the states of assam and nagaland. an. philippinensis and ... | 2006 | 17333766 |
