| the anopheles punctulatus group of mosquitoes in the solomon islands and vanuatu surveyed by allozyme electrophoresis. | four species within the anopheles punctulatus group of mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae) were identified by allozyme analysis of samples collected from thirty-three localities in guadalcanal, makira, malaita, temotu and western provinces in the solomon islands and six localities on efate, espiritu santo, maewo and malekula islands in vanuatu. three of these species are members of the an.farauti complex. a key is given to identify five species of the an.punctulatus group known to occur in the solom ... | 1994 | 7841489 |
| the interaction between plasmodium falciparum and p. vivax in children on espiritu santo island, vanuatu. | studies of the prevalence and incidence of malaria were conducted in children < 10 years old living in 10 rural villages on the island of espiritu santo, vanuatu, south-west pacific. malaria prevalence remained stable at 30% throughout the year but the relative contributions of the 2 major species were highly dependent on season. plasmodium falciparum predominated in the long wet season (november-may) and p. vivax in the dry season (june-october). case definitions for malaria, derived using a mu ... | 1996 | 9015495 |
| population structure and gene flow of anopheles farauti s.s. (diptera: culicidae) among ten sites on five islands of vanuatu: implications for malaria control. | the anopheles punctulatus (diptera: culicidae) group is the main vector for malaria and bancroftian filariasis in vanuatu. anopheles larvae were collected from 10 localities on five islands of vanuatu during the 2004 dry season for species identification as well as for estimating population structure and gene flow within and among islands. species identification was determined using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of the internal transcribed spacer 2 r ... | 2007 | 17695014 |
