| potential vectors of malaria and dengue at townsville, queensland. | a biting collection on the banks of ross river included anopheles farauti, adedes imprimens and ae. alboscutellatus, indicating a relict population of rain-forest mosquitoes and confirming two earlier records of an. farauti from townsville. aedes aegypti was collected at townsville airport. significance of these findings is discussed in relation to changing urban conditions and a proposed international airport. | 1980 | 6111741 |
| malaria transmission and climate change in australia. | although endemic malaria was eradicated from australia by 1981, the vectors remain and transmission from imported cases still occurs. climate modelling shows that global warming will enlarge the potential range of the main vector, anopheles farauti sensu stricto; by the year 2030 it could extend along the queensland coast to gladstone, 800 km south of its present limit. vigilance and a dispassionate assessment of risk are needed to meet this challenge. | 1996 | 8606659 |
| malaria in a changing world: an australian perspective. | three elements must be present for endemic malaria: infected humans, susceptible mosquitoes and a suitable climate. all three occur in parts of australia and yet this country has always been a region of marginal malaria endemicity. with the exception of a large epidemic in cairns during the second world war, most outbreaks have occurred in small, isolated populations of the northern territory. the last epidemic was at the roper river mission in the northern territory in 1962. since australia was ... | 1998 | 9673873 |
| laboratory and field evaluation of the repellents deet, cic-4, and ai3-37220 against anopheles farauti (diptera: culicidae) in australia. | laboratory and field tests of the repellents diethyl methylbenzamide (deet), 1-(3-cyclohexen-1-yl-carbonyl)-2-methylpiperidine (ai3-37220), and (2-hydroxymethylcyclohexyl) acetic acid lactone (cic-4) were conducted against anopheles farauti s.s. laveran, an important malaria vector in the southwest pacific region. in the laboratory, an. farauti was tolerant of all 3 repellents, but deet and cic-4 provided significantly better protection than ai3-37220. the field study was conducted in rain fores ... | 1998 | 9775594 |
| field evaluation of repellent formulations against daytime and nighttime biting mosquitoes in a tropical rainforest in northern australia. | field trials to compare repellent formulations containing either picaridin or deet against rainforest mosquitoes in northern queensland, australia, were conducted. three repellents were compared at night: 9.3% picaridin and 19.2% picaridin (autan repel and autan repel army 20, respectively, bayer, sydney, australia) and 35% deet in a gel (australian defense force [adf]). during the day, the following three repellents were compared: 19.2% picaridin, 20% deet in a controlled release formulation (s ... | 2002 | 12061453 |
| laboratory and field evaluation of ss220 and deet against mosquitoes in queensland, australia. | laboratory and field efficacy trials comparing deet (n,n-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide) and ss220 [(is, 2's)-2-methylpiperindinyl-3-cyclohexen-1-carboxamide] against mosquitoes in queensland, australia, were conducted. in the laboratory, both compounds provided between 150 and 195 min of protection against aedes aegypti and between 18 and 80 min of protection against anopheles farauti. in laboratory tests against culex annulirostris, 20% ss220 provided 3 h of protection and 20% deet provided >6 h of ... | 2009 | 19653499 |
