| systematic studies on anopheles galvaoi causey, deane & deane from the subgenus nysssorhynchus blanchard (diptera: culicidae). | anopheles galvaoi, a member of the subgenus nyssorhynchus, is redescribed based on morphological characters of the adults male and female, fourth-instar larva and pupa. female, male genitalia, larval and pupal stages are illustrated. data about medical importance, bionomics, and distribution are given based on literature records. adult female of an. galvaoi can be easily misidentified as an. benarrochi gabald n and an. aquasalis curry. a few characters are indicated for identifying female and im ... | 2003 | 12563487 |
| insight into anopheles (nyssorhynchus) (diptera: culicidae) species from brazil. | anopheles (nyssorhynchus) benarrochi s.l., anopheles (nyssorhynchus) oswaldoi s.l., and anopheles (nyssorhynchus) konderi s.l. collected in acrelandia, state of acre, brazil, were identified based on morphological characters of the male genitalia, fourth-instar larvae, and pupae. morphological variation was observed in the male genitalia of these species in comparison with specimens from other localities in brazil. dna sequence from the nuclear ribosomal second internal transcribed spacer of ind ... | 2008 | 19058619 |

| [culicidae (diptera: culicidae) of the perus river basin, acre, amazonia (brazil)]. | mosquito (diptera: culicidae) collections were made on the pedro peixoto colonization project in the state of acre, brazil. four thousand, five hundred and eighty-eight (4,588) specimens were collected and fifty-three (53) species or group recognised. the occurrence of anopheles (nyssorhynchus) oswaldoi is given special emphasis. | 1992 | 1364016 |
| isozyme similarity in anopheles oswaldoi sensu lato (diptera: culicidae) from the amazon region, brazil. | isozyme electrophoresis studies were conduced on anopheles oswaldoi sensu lato from three states in amazonian (brazil), including acre, where this taxon has been incriminated as a potential human malaria vector. the 13 enzymes analyzed yielded a total of 20 loci. of these, 10 were monomorphic in the three samples. diagnostic loci were not found. the measures of genetic variability showed mean number of alleles per locus between 1.5 and 2.0, percentage of polymorphic loci of 40%, and mean heteroz ... | 2005 | 15962781 |
| correlation between positive serology for plasmodium vivax-like/plasmodium simiovale malaria parasites in the human and anopheline populations in the state of acre, brazil. | antibodies against the plasmodium vivax-like/p. simiovale malaria parasite circumsporozoite repeat peptide (apganqeggaa)3 were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) in 120 sera randomly collected in 1994 from adults in 3 localities of the malaria endemic area in the state of acre, brazil; antibody was detected in 18 (15%). a 'sandwich' elisa using monoclonal antibody (mab) pam 172, directed against the same peptide, was carried out on 1207 anopheles oswaldoi, 12 of which (1.0%) ... | 1998 | 9764317 |
| molecular differentiation in natural populations of anopheles oswaldoi sensu lato (diptera: culicidae) from the brazilian amazon, using sequences of the coi gene from mitochondrial dna. | anopheles (nyssorhynchus) oswaldoi (peryassú, 1922) s. l., which has been incriminated as a potential human malaria vector in western brazilian amazon, may constitute a cryptic species complex. however, the most recent study with isozymes indicated high similarity among samples from the states of acre, amazonas and rondônia in the brazilian amazon. in the present study, 45 individuals were sequenced from sena madureira (state of acre), coari (state of amazonas), são miguel (state of rondônia), a ... | 2006 | 17117365 |
| anophelines in the state of acre, brazil, infected with plasmodium falciparum, p. vivax, the variant p. vivax vk247 and p. malariae. | anophelines collected indoors and in the peri-domiciliary area in 3 localities in the amazon region, state of acre, brazil, from august 1990 to january 1991 were examined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) using specific monoclonal antibodies directed against the repeats of the circumsporozoite proteins of plasmodium falciparum, p. vivax, p. vivax v247, and p. malariae. of the 3056 specimens collected, 2610 were anopheles oswaldoi, 362 a. deaneorum, 60 a. triannulatus and 24 were a. da ... | 1993 | 8249059 |
