| 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 |
| vector control of filariasis in the solomon islands. | in solomon islands, filariasis is caused by the nocturnally perodic form of wuchereria bancrofti and is transmitted by the same vectors of malaria. this study explores the control of this disease as an additional effect of the malaria eradication programme. | 1975 | 3855 |
| lymphatic filariasis in papua new guinea: prospects for elimination. | lymphatic filariasis is a significant public health problem in several pacific island countries. papua new guinea is one of the most populous countries in this region, and 39% of its residents are estimated to be infected with wuchereria bancrofti. the ministries of health of the 22 islands and territories in the pacific region are committed to taking action against lymphatic filariasis. accordingly, a regional collaborative effort aimed at the control of filariasis has been organized under the ... | 2003 | 12592558 |
| the natural decline of wuchereria bancrofti infection in a vector control situation in the solomon islands. | in a situation where filariasis and malaria are transmitted by the same vector, as seen here in the solomon islands, the malaria eradication programme aimed at controlling the vector, was found to have an effect on both diseases. in an area of choiseul island first surveyed by the author in 1970, three follow-up surveys were conducted--in 1974, 1975 and 1976. these showed a progressive decrease in persons infected. when the densities, especially the median microfilarial counts, were expressed as ... | 1977 | 595094 |
