| survey of the mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae) of mayotte. | a transversal survey of immature mosquitoes was conducted on mayotte island (france) in the comoros archipelago, western indian ocean, with the aim to inventory the culicidae and to document inter-species relationships in different habitats. in total 420 habitats were sampled for larvae and/or pupae mosquitoes, resulting in more than 6,000 specimens. forty species belonging to 15 genera were collected, with eight taxa integrated for the first time to the mayotte mosquito list. the most frequentl ... | 2014 | 25004163 |
| insecticide resistance in disease vectors from mayotte: an opportunity for integrated vector management. | mayotte, a small island in the indian ocean, has been affected for many years by vector-borne diseases. malaria, bancroftian filariasis, dengue, chikungunya and rift valley fever have circulated or still circulate on the island. they are all transmitted by culicidae mosquitoes. to limit the impact of these diseases on human health, vector control has been implemented for more than 60 years on mayotte. in this study, we assessed the resistance levels of four major vector species (anopheles gambia ... | 2014 | 24984704 |
| [molecular characterization of mosquitoes of the anopheles gambiae complex from mayotte and great comoro]. | the mosquitoes of the anopheles gambiae complex have been characterised at specific and sub-specific levels in two islands of the comoros archipelago: the island of mayotte (french departmental collectivity) and the island of grande comore (comoros union). results are similar in the two islands and are presented together. the species an. gambiae s.s. was observed alone (determination performed on 149 specimens by pcr product of igs of rdna). the molecular form observed alone was s, and correspon ... | 2003 | 14535168 |
| [role of culex quinquefasciatus in the transmission of bancroftian filariasis in the federal islamic republic of comoros (indian ocean)]. | in october 1988-january 1989, as a part of a malaria and filariasis control programme in federal islamic republic of comoros an entomological survey was carried out in 19 rural and urban localities of grande comore. anjouan and moheli islands. the potential breeding places were examined and pyrethrum spray catches were made to evaluate the indoor resting densities of mosquitos. a total of 14.578 adult mosquitos potential vectors of filariasis was collected: 94.5% culex quinquefasciatus, 3.5% ano ... | 1994 | 9235195 |
| [epidemiology and control of malaria in the federal islamic republic of comoros]. | malaria constitutes a major public health problem in the federal islamic republic of comoros. this problem is relatively recent from the historical point of view of the archipelago. it represents 15 to 30% of the hospitalization cases and 15 to 20% of the registered deaths in the pediatric services. the epidemiological data collected show that the characteristics of malaria transmission continue for the stable type; however, the epidemiological situation varies from one island to another. the pr ... | 1995 | 8784541 |
| [malaria in mayotte: past, present and future]. | discovered as a form of intermittent fevers in 1852 and confirmed by blin in 1905, malaria has had a large impact on the mortality and the morbidity of the population living in mayotte until 1976. an evolutionary analysis of the disease shows two distinct periods. the first period between 1792 and 1974 concerns the date of introduction of malaria to the island and the limited actions of the fight against malaria led by different organizations. the second period from 1976, when the program was es ... | 1995 | 8784540 |
