a survey of malaria in indochinese refugees arriving in the united states, 1980.during the months april-june and october-november 1980, a survey was conducted among indochinese refugees arriving in california to assess the prevalence of malaria. during the two study periods, 3,433 refugees were met and 3,289 (95.8%) of the arriving refugees were screened for malaria by examining thick blood smears and by indirect fluorescent malaria antibody tests of blood absorbed on filter paper. examination of the blood smears showed that the overall patency rates were 1.7% and 0.6% for ...19826751109

susceptibility of anopheles hermsi to plasmodium vivax.two outbreaks of plasmodium vivax malaria have occurred recently in southern california, and anopheles hermsi, a newly described species closely related to a freeborni, has been implicated as the vector. to assess the competence of a. hermsi as a vector, its susceptibility to p. vivax was compared with that of the efficient vector a. freeborni by allowing 150 females of each species to feed to repletion on infected squirrel monkeys. oocyst density was greater in a. hermsi than in a. freeborni, a ...19902187365
