| malaria in the pare area of tanzania. v. malaria 20 years after the end of residual insecticide spraying. | a malariometric survey, including serology, was done in the south pare area of the former pare-taveta malaria scheme, tanzania, 10 years after the previous survey and 20 years after the end of residual insecticide spraying. although the densities of the vectors and their infectivity rates have for 10 years equalled those found before malaria control, malaria in the human population is still significantly less. the chief factor in this delayed resurgence is though to be the increasing use of anti ... | 1981 | 7330942 |
| malaria infection potential of anopheline mosquitoes sampled by light trapping indoors in coastal tanzanian villages. | anopheline mosquito populations were studied during 1992 in seven villages south of bagamoyo, coastal tanzania, prior to malaria control intervention using insecticide treated bednets. to collect mosquitoes, cdc light traps were used in ten houses per village fortnightly for 12 months. anopheles females were identified and checked by elisa for the presence of malaria sporozoite antigen and source of bloodmeal. an.funestus peaked in june-july after the long rains. three members of the an.gambiae ... | 1995 | 7548942 |
| knowledge of mosquitos in relation to public and domestic control activities in the cities of dar es salaam and tanga. | a study of community awareness of mosquitos and related subjects in the residential areas of two tanzanian cities (dar es salaam and tanga) showed that residents were well aware of mosquitos. almost all claimed to use some form of domestic mosquito control product for their personal protection, and many spend a significant portion of the household income on this. the problems of nuisance-biting and malaria transmission are usually not separated and are considered to be the result of poor environ ... | 1995 | 7704932 |
| ribosomal dna-polymerase chain reaction assay discriminates between anopheles quadriannulatus and an. merus (diptera: culicidae). | a ribosomal dna polymerase chain reaction technique (rdna-pcr) that distinguishes the 5 more common and widespread members of the anopheles gambiae complex failed to consistently identify specimens of anopheles merus dönitz collected in south africa and tanzania. when the original rdna-pcr assay was applied to field-collected specimens or specimens from laboratory colonies established from these populations, bands diagnostic of both an. merus and an. quadriannulatus (theobald) were amplified fro ... | 1997 | 9379465 |
| can vector control play a useful supplementary role against bancroftian filariasis? | a single campaign of mass treatment for bancroftian filariasis with diethylcarbamazine (dec) in makunduchi, a town in zanzibar, united republic of tanzania, combined with elimination of mosquito breeding in pit latrines with polystyrene beads was followed by a progressive decline over a 5-year period in the microfilarial rate from 49% to 3%. evidence that vector control had contributed to this long-term decline was obtained by comparison with another town, moga, where a dec campaign was used wit ... | 1999 | 10083712 |
| isolations of bwamba virus from south central uganda and north eastern tanzania. | bwamba virus (genus bunyavirus, family bunyaviridae) is widely distributed in africa. it causes many unidentified fevers because of its benign nature. | 2002 | 12789111 |
| diversity, spatial and temporal abundance of anopheles gambiae complex in the rufiji river basin, south-eastern tanzania. | the anopheles gambiae complex contains the most efficient malaria vectors in the world. identification of the species and the concomitant distribution are vital for effective malaria control. the objective of the study was to establish the diversity, spatial and seasonal abundance of malaria vectors in the rufiji river basin in tanzania and the implications on malaria vector control. mosquitoes were collected using cdc light-traps. anopheles mosquitoes were identified by conventional keys. anoph ... | 2010 | 20737831 |
| malaria in bulambya, ileje district, south-west tanzania. | this study was carried out to determine malaria situation in bulambya division, ileje district in southwest tanzania. outpatient attendance records from 1999 to 2002 were examined for malaria cases in eleven health facilities. a cross-sectional study to determine malaria prevalence and its potential vectors was done in may 2004. blood samples were collected from 502 schoolchildren from 16 primary schools and examined microscopically for malaria parasites. indoor resting mosquitoes were collected ... | 2006 | 17058795 |
| an estimation of the entomological inoculation rate for ifakara: a semi-urban area in a region of intense malaria transmission in tanzania. | an entomological study on vectors of malaria and their relative contribution to plasmodium falciparum transmission in the semi-urban area of ifakara, south-eastern tanzania, was conducted. a total of 32 houses were randomly sampled from the area and light trap catches (ltc) performed in one room in each house every 2 weeks for 1 year. a total of 147 448 mosquitoes were caught from 789 ltc; 26 134 anopheles gambiae s.l., 615 a. funestus, 718 other anophelines and 119 981 culicines. more than 60% ... | 2003 | 12950662 |
| bednets and malaria. | studies across africa have shown that insecticide-treated materials (itms) such as bednets can substantially reduce levels of child mortality through the prevention of malaria. however, while the results of efficacy trials may dictate the need to use itms, people in malaria-endemic areas may not recognize and comply with the need. if one wishes to get people to use health technology such as insecticide-impregnated bednets, one must learn about the end-users through clear, simple, formative res ... | 1998 | 12293744 |
| malaria transmission risk variations derived from different agricultural practices in an irrigated area of northern tanzania. | malaria vector anopheles and other mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae) were monitored for 12 months during 1994-95 in villages of lower moshi irrigation area (37 degrees 20' e, 3 degrees 21' s; approximately 700 m a.s.l.) south of mount kilimanjaro in northern tanzania. adult mosquito populations were sampled fortnightly by five methods: human bait collection indoors (18.00-06.00 hours) and outdoors (18.00-24.00 hours); from daytime resting-sites indoors and outdoors; by cdc light-traps over sleeper ... | 2002 | 11963979 |
| genetic structure and dynamics of plasmodium falciparum infections in the kilombero region of tanzania. | plasmodium falciparum parasites exist as genetically distinct haploid clones in infected people. in the kilombero valley in south-east tanzania, at least 85% of the inhabitants of michenga village harbour more than one clone. using 2 highly polymorphic unlinked markers, it has been estimated that each infected person harbours between one and 6 p. falciparum clones at any one time, with a mean of 3.5 clones. when mosquitoes acquire gametocytes of 2 different clones in a blood meal, crossing gener ... | 1999 | 10450420 |
