| occurrence of anopheles culicifacies species a in iran. | polytene chromosome preparations of the ovarian nurse cells of anopheles culicifacies females collected in 6 different parts of baluchistan, iran, during september-october 1987 and may-june 1988 revealed the existence of species a in this country. the chromosome arms are homosequential with those of species a of india. this report confirms the distribution of species a in iran. | 1991 | 1895096 |
| anopheles culicifacies in baluchistan, iran. | anopheles culicifacies (probably species a) is the main vector of malaria in baluchistan, southeastern iran. adult mosquitoes were collected during 1990-92 by five methods of sampling: knock-down pyrethrum space-spray indoors, human and animal bait (18.00-05.00 hours), pit shelters and cdc light traps, yielding 62%, 3%, 6%, 4% and 25% of specimens, respectively. whereas spray-catches comprised c. 70% gravid and semi-gravid females, light trap catches were mostly (c. 60%) unfed females, while fem ... | 1995 | 7787227 |
| identification, sequence analysis, and comparative study on gste2 insecticide resistance gene in three main world malaria vectors: anopheles stephensi, anopheles culicifacies, and anopheles fluviatilis. | glutathione s-transferases (gsts) are soluble dimeric proteins that are involved in the metabolism, detoxification, and excretion of a large number of endogenous and exogenous compounds such as insecticides from the cell. in the current study, field specimens of anopheles stephensi liston, anopheles fluviatilis james, and anopheles culicifacies giles collected from sistan and baluchistan province in iran and subjected to world health organization susceptibility test. only an. stephensi was resis ... | 2006 | 17162949 |
| cyfluthrin (ew 050)-impregnated bednets in a malaria control program in ghassreghand (baluchistan, iran). | in a study carried out in the ghassreghand division (baluchistan, iran) from march through november 1995, efficacy of cyfluthrin-impregnated bednets was compared to that of untreated nets, in relation to malaria control. ten villages with a total population of 4,572 and 3 villages with a total population of 1,935 were used as treatment and control, respectively. the collection, impregnation (target dosage of 40 mg active ingredient [ai]/m2), and redistribution of the nets (9% nylon, 52% light co ... | 1998 | 10084136 |
| role of anopheles culicifacies s.l. and an. pulcherrimus in malaria transmission in ghassreghand (baluchistan), iran. | a 2-site immunoradiometric assay (irma) was performed on the head and thorax of anopheles culicifacies s.l. and an. pulcherrimus females, the 2 most common anopheline species in the district of ghassreghand (baluchistan, iran), collected during the 2 peak malaria transmission seasons (may and september-october 1991). positive irma results revealed the 2 species as potential vectors of malaria in this highly endemic district. this finding serves as the first report on natural infection of an. pul ... | 1993 | 8468570 |
| survival rates of anopheles culicifacies s.l. and anopheles pulcherrimus in sprayed and unsprayed villages in ghassreghand district, baluchistan, iran, 1991. | survival rates, expectation of life, and expectation of infective life of anopheles culicifacies and anopheles pulcherrimus were estimated in sprayed and unsprayed villages in the highly malarious ghassreghand district, iran, during the 2 peak malaria transmission seasons in 1991. the daily survival rate of an. culicifacies was estimated as 0.84 and 0.78 during may and 0.89 and nil during september-october in the unsprayed and sprayed villages, respectively. for an. pulcherrimus the daily surviv ... | 1993 | 8126476 |
