| [observations on malaria vectors in mozambique. i. the status of anopheles populations before the start of mosquito control]. | the basic status parameters of populations of the main malaria vectors (anopheles arabiensis and an. funestus) in the vicinity of the city of maputo, mozambique, were considered, such as mosquito density and its seasonal variation, female biting activity rate, degree of mosquito-man contact, degree of exophilia and endophagy, physiological age of females, duration of gonotrophic cycle, sporozoite index, vectorial capacity, entomological inoculation rate. | 1992 | 1435552 |
| anopheles arabiensis and an. funestus are equally important vectors of malaria in matola coastal suburb of maputo, southern mozambique. | transmission characteristics of malaria were studied in matola, a coastal suburb of maputo, the capital city, in southern mozambique, from november 1994 to april 1996. the local climate alternates between cool dry season (may-october) and hot rainy season (november-april) with mean annual rainfall 650-850 mm. saltmarsh and freshwater pools provide mosquito breeding sites in matola. malaria prevalence reached approximately 60% among people living nearest to the main breeding sites of the vectors. ... | 2000 | 10872861 |
| insecticide resistance in anopheles arabiensis and anopheles gambiae from mozambique. | malaria control in the southern part of mozambique is currently by indoor residual spraying with a carbamate insecticide and by pyrethroid-treated bed-nets distributed to pregnant women and children under five in northern mozambique. the susceptibility of anopheles gambiae s.s. and anopheles arabiensis patton to pyrethroid, carbamate, organochlorine, and organophosphorus insecticides was determined by world health organization adult mosquito susceptibility tests at 17 localities in mozambique, f ... | 2006 | 16619611 |
| insecticide resistance in anopheles funestus (diptera: culicidae) from mozambique. | malaria control in southern mozambique is currently by indoor residual carbamate insecticide treatment, with pyrethroid-treated bed-nets distributed to pregnant women and children under five in northern mozambique. the susceptibility of anopheles funestus s.s. to pyrethroid, carbamate, organochlorine, and organophosphorus insecticides was determined by world health organization adult mosquito susceptibility tests at 19 localities in mozambique, from march 2000 to july 2002. biochemical assays we ... | 2006 | 16619610 |
| the effect of permethrin-impregnated wall-curtains on malaria transmission and morbidity in the suburbs of maputo, mozambique. | the effect of nylon-netting wall-curtains impregnated with 0.5 g permethrin/m2 upon the biting rate of malaria vectors (anopheles gambiae s.l. and an. funestus) and on the plasmodium falciparum parasite rate, and morbidity due to malaria in children under five and between five and fourteen years was tested in the maputo area. the curtains significantly lowered biting rates of both vector species inside curtained houses, but reduced inside resting and outside biting only in an. funestus. the perc ... | 1995 | 8592765 |
| [cytogenetic and biometric observations on members of the anopheles gambiae complex in mozambique]. | four species of the anopheles gambiae complex were identified in mozambique (east africa) by chromosomal analysis. they were an. merus, an. gambiae s.s., an. arabiensis and an. quadriannulatus. an. merus was observed in coastal zones as well as in inner areas where the rivers are tidal and brackish and/or the soil is salty. an. gambiae s.s. is present in the central-northern regions (north of save river) from the coast to the western mountains. on the coast it is often sympatric with an. merus. ... | 1984 | 6599997 |
