| application of the indirect fluorescent antibody method in a study of malaria endemicity in mato grosso, brazil. | four surveys of malaria endemicity were conducted in the cuiabá sector of mato grosso state, brazil, at 6-month intervals during the period april 1970 to september 1971; during april 1970 a survey was also conducted in the campo grande sector. over 4,000 dual specimens--blood films for parasite diagnosis and filter paper blood spots for determination of fluorescent antibody (ifa) response--were collected from the general population, including school populations whenever possible. parasitologic e ... | 1975 | 1098491 |
| [epidemiological trends for malaria in the cities of the upper paraguay river basin, mato grosso do sul, brazil 1990-1996]. | through the regional office of the brazilian national health foundation in the state of mato grosso do sul, we obtained numerical data on malaria for the upper paraguay basin (upb): 159 cases in 1990, 126 in 1991, 135 in 1992, 61 in 1993, 143 in 1994, 41 in 1995, and 20 in 1996, the majority of which were imported cases. there were no autochthonous cases in 1990, and since 1991 the rates of over 15% dropped to around 1.60%. imported cases, corresponding to 0. 63% in 1990, increased in 1991 and 1 ... | 1998 | 9878912 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| [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 |
| [anopheles (nyssorhynchus) argyritarsis larvae found in artificial breeding sites in the state of mato grosso]. | the finding of immature forms of culicid mosquitoes in water tanks at ground level is reported. anopheles argyritarsis and aedes albopictus were found in the municipality of várzea grande (mt). it is considered that these artificial containers may constitute additional locations that anophelines can use as breeding sites. | 2008 | 18719817 |
