| [richness and abundance of culicidae (diptera) in an area impacted, mato grosso do sul, midwestern brazil]. | the damming of paraná river for the construction of porto primavera hydroelectric power plant, between the states of mato grosso do sul, midwestern brazil and são paulo, southeastern brazil, has changed the ecological relationships in the area. the objective of the study was to describe the fauna that can be potential vectors in this reservoir, 2 km away from its right bank, in bataguassu, mato grosso do sul, before flooding. mosquitoes were monthly captured in different environments from july 1 ... | 2007 | 17589767 |
| habitat suitability mapping of anopheles darlingi in the surroundings of the manso hydropower plant reservoir, mato grosso, central brazil. | hydropower plants provide more than 78 % of brazil's electricity generation, but the country's reservoirs are potential new habitats for main vectors of malaria. in a case study in the surroundings of the manso hydropower plant in mato grosso state, central brazil, habitat suitability of anopheles darlingi was studied. habitat profile was characterized by collecting environmental data. remote sensing and gis techniques were applied to extract additional spatial layers of land use, distance maps, ... | 2007 | 17343728 |
| 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 |
| a new challenge for malaria control in brazil: asymptomatic plasmodium infection--a review. | the evolution of malaria in brazil, its morbidity, the malaria control programs, and the new challenges for these programs in the light of the emergence of asymptomatic infection in the amazon region of brazil were reviewed. at least six brazilian research groups have demonstrated that asymptomatic infection by plasmodium is an important impediment to malaria control, among mineral prospectors in mato grosso and riverside communities in rondônia and, in our group, in the middle and upper reaches ... | 2006 | 16862314 |
