| short report: observations on the multiple feeding behavior of culex tritaeniorhynchus (diptera: culicidae), the vector of japanese encephalitis in kerala in southern india. | a study was undertaken in villages endemic for japanese encephalitis (je) in kerala in southern india during the period 1998-2001 to determine the host-feeding pattern of culex tritaeniorhynchus, the major vector of je in southeast asia. a total of 3,067 blood-engorged cx. tritaeniorhynchus were tested and 2,553 (82.2%) of the samples could be identified. culex tritaeniorhynchus had fed mainly (56.6%) on cattle. pig feeding accounted 6.3% of the total samples. some samples (n = 980, 38.3%) were ... | 2005 | 15741557 |
| genetic analysis of ankamali pigs of india using microsatellite markers and their comparison with other domesticated indian pig types. | ankamali pigs, the domesticated native pigs of kerala province of india were genetically characterized using 23 fao recommended microsatellite markers and were compared with other native indian pig types and large white pigs. twenty-six blood samples were collected from genetically unrelated animals from their breeding tract and dna was isolated by standard procedure of phenol/chloroform. the genomic dna was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (pcr) at these 23 microsatellite loci, which were ... | 2006 | 16533367 |
| host feeding pattern of japanese encephalitis virus vector mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae) from kuttanadu, kerala, india. | identification of blood meals of vector mosquitoes is an important tool in the epidemiological investigations of vector-borne diseases. the blood meals of three mosquito species involved in the transmission of japanese encephalitis virus (jev) from the kuttanadu area, kerala, were determined using the agarose gel diffusion technique. a total of 4959 blood smears belonging to culex (culex) tritaeniorhynchus giles (3273), cx. (culex) gelidus theobald (64), mansonia (mnd.) indiana edwards (735) ,an ... | 2008 | 18826037 |
