| [cytogenetic and biometric observations on members of the anopheles gambiae complex in mozambique]. | four species of the anopheles gambiae complex were identified in mozambique (east africa) by chromosomal analysis. they were an. merus, an. gambiae s.s., an. arabiensis and an. quadriannulatus. an. merus was observed in coastal zones as well as in inner areas where the rivers are tidal and brackish and/or the soil is salty. an. gambiae s.s. is present in the central-northern regions (north of save river) from the coast to the western mountains. on the coast it is often sympatric with an. merus. ... | 1984 | 6599997 |
| the effect of permethrin-impregnated wall-curtains on malaria transmission and morbidity in the suburbs of maputo, mozambique. | the effect of nylon-netting wall-curtains impregnated with 0.5 g permethrin/m2 upon the biting rate of malaria vectors (anopheles gambiae s.l. and an. funestus) and on the plasmodium falciparum parasite rate, and morbidity due to malaria in children under five and between five and fourteen years was tested in the maputo area. the curtains significantly lowered biting rates of both vector species inside curtained houses, but reduced inside resting and outside biting only in an. funestus. the perc ... | 1995 | 8592765 |
| insecticide resistance in anopheles arabiensis and anopheles gambiae from mozambique. | malaria control in the southern part of mozambique is currently by indoor residual spraying with a carbamate insecticide and by pyrethroid-treated bed-nets distributed to pregnant women and children under five in northern mozambique. the susceptibility of anopheles gambiae s.s. and anopheles arabiensis patton to pyrethroid, carbamate, organochlorine, and organophosphorus insecticides was determined by world health organization adult mosquito susceptibility tests at 17 localities in mozambique, f ... | 2006 | 16619611 |
