| potential vectors of malaria and their different susceptibility to plasmodium falciparum and plasmodium vivax in northern brazil identified by immunoassay. | during the period from may 1983 to july 1985 we conducted an epidemiological study to determine potential vectors of malaria in 6 districts in the state of pará in northern brazil. the examination of random human blood smears, prepared at the time of mosquito capture, indicated overall human infection rates of 16.7% and 10.9% for plasmodium falciparum and p. vivax, respectively. two immunoassays, the immunoradiometric assay (irma) and the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa), based on the u ... | 1986 | 3532844 |
| malaria vectors in areas of plasmodium falciparum epidemic transmission in the amazon region, brazil. | the main vectors of malaria in brazil are anopheles darlingi, an. aquasalis, and some species of the an. albitarsis complex, whereas others have questionable importance with regard to the disease transmission. to identify these vectors in the state of pará, brazil, in a high-prevalence p. falciparum area, 565 anophelines were captured and identified while the seasonal variation and daily biting activity were determined. of the seven anopheline species (an. strodei, an. albitarsis s.l., an. rondo ... | 2008 | 18541762 |
| [anophelines in belém, pará, brazil: current and retrospective data]. | we present the results of anopheline captures in belém, pará, brazil, from 1995-2004, and a comparison with captures from 1930-1999. in the earlier period, 20 species were identified: anopheles albitarsis s.l., an. aquasalis, an. argyritarsis, an. braziliensis, an. darlingi, an. eiseni, an. evansae, an. galvaoi, an. intermedius, an. kompi, an. mediopunctatus, an. nimbus, an. nuneztovari, an. oswaldoi, an. peryassui, an. punctimacula, an. shannoni, an. strodei, an. thomasi, and an. triannulatus. ... | 2006 | 16832529 |
