| population structure of the malaria vector anopheles darlingi in a malaria-endemic region of eastern amazonian brazil. | anopheles darlingi is the primary malaria vector in latin america, and is especially important in amazonian brazil. historically, control efforts have been focused on indoor house spraying using a variety of insecticides, but since the mid-1990s there has been a shift to patient treatment and focal insecticide fogging. anopheles darlingi was believed to have been significantly reduced in a gold-mining community, peixoto de azevedo (in mato grosso state), in the early 1990s by insecticide use dur ... | 2006 | 16687683 |
| malaria vectors in areas of plasmodium falciparum epidemic transmission in the amazon region, brazil. | the main vectors of malaria in brazil are anopheles darlingi, an. aquasalis, and some species of the an. albitarsis complex, whereas others have questionable importance with regard to the disease transmission. to identify these vectors in the state of pará, brazil, in a high-prevalence p. falciparum area, 565 anophelines were captured and identified while the seasonal variation and daily biting activity were determined. of the seven anopheline species (an. strodei, an. albitarsis s.l., an. rondo ... | 2008 | 18541762 |
