| evaluating the efficacy of chloroquine in febrile guinean children infected with plasmodium falciparum by a simplified in vivo test. | a modified version of a simplified in vivo test was applied to assess the susceptibility of plasmodium falciparum to chloroquine among semi-immune febrile children in kouroussa, guinea. in 27% of cases, a partial response (ri/rii) to chloroquine was observed; the remainder showed a good response (s/ri). this test is both practical and useful to assess the efficacy of chloroquine at the intermediate level of health care services. | 1992 | 1394781 |
| malaria vector composition and insecticide susceptibility status in guinea conakry, west africa. | this study provides data on malaria vector species composition and insecticide susceptibility status from three localities in guinea conakry. a total of 497 mosquitoes were collected resting indoors and morphologically identified as belonging to the anopheles gambiae complex. the majority of these were an. gambiae s.s. (99.6%), but a small percentage (0.4%) were identified as anopheles arabiensis. thirty-four anopheles funestus s.s. were also collected. the molecular s form of an. gambiae s.s. w ... | 2009 | 19941598 |
| entomological survey and report of a knockdown resistance mutation in the malaria vector anopheles gambiae from the republic of guinea. | the purpose of our entomological survey was to estimate mosquito biodiversity, infectivity rates and insecticide resistance levels in anopheles species in four study sites in a mining area with high malaria transmission in southeastern guinea. anopheles gambiae s.l. (77%) was the most common anopheles collected followed by an. funestus (20%). the specimens of the an. gambiae complex were predominantly an. gambiae s form (97.6%) with 1.4% of an. gambiae m form found in kérouané only, and 1% of an ... | 2010 | 20227096 |
