| preliminary observations on the changing roles of malaria vectors in southern belize. | a survey for larval and adult anopheles mosquitoes was conducted in toledo district of southern belize during august-september 1992. we surveyed for larvae in 145 habitats and conducted paired indoor-outdoor collections of adult mosquitoes landing on humans at 6 houses. in 1940-41, kumm and ram reported anopheles darlingi females to be the most common anopheles mosquitoes inside houses and reported no specimens of anopheles vestitipennis in southern belize. in our 1992 survey we found no an. dar ... | 1993 | 8126482 |
| biting activity and breeding sites of anopheles species in the municipality villavicencio, meta, colombia. | villavicencio, the capital city of the department of meta, colombia, is at high risk for the urbanization of malaria because of the region's ecological conditions, as well as the permanent presence of infected human populations arriving from rural areas. from august to november 2002 and in april 2003, anopheline collections were undertaken in the area. isofamilies were obtained from 331 wild females, which were then recorded according to their abundance as follows: anopheles marajoara, anopheles ... | 2005 | 16033120 |
| evaluation of a pcr-rflp-its2 assay for discrimination of anopheles species in northern and western colombia. | anopheles mosquitoes are routinely identified using morphological characters of the female that often lead to misidentification due to interspecies similarity and intraspecies variability. the aim of this work was to evaluate the applicability of a previously developed pcr-rflp-its2 assay for accurate discrimination of anophelines in twelve localities spanning three colombian malaria epidemiological regions: atlantic coast, pacific coast, and uraba-bajo cauca-alto sinu region. the evaluation of ... | 2011 | 21345325 |
| spatial distributions of anopheles species in relation to malaria incidence at 70 localities in the highly endemic northwest and south pacific coast regions of colombia. | a proper identification of malaria vectors is essential for any attempt to control this disease. between 40 and 47 anopheles species have been recorded in colombia, and eight species complexes have been identified in the last decade. an update of anopheles species distribution and its relationship with malaria is required, particularly for newly identified members of species complexes. | 2016 | 27515166 |
| human biting activity, spatial-temporal distribution and malaria vector role of anopheles calderoni in the southwest of colombia. | anopheles calderoni was first recognized in colombia in 2010 as this species had been misidentified as anopheles punctimacula due to morphological similarities. an. calderoni is considered a malaria vector in peru and has been found naturally infected with plasmodium falciparum in colombia. however, its biting behaviour, population dynamics and epidemiological importance have not been well described for colombia. | 2015 | 26104785 |
| anthropophilic anopheles species composition and malaria in tierradentro, córdoba, colombia. | malaria is still a primary health problem in colombia. the locality of tierradentro is situated in the municipality of montelíbano, córdoba, in the northwest of colombia, and has one of the highest annual parasite index of malaria nationwide. however, the vectors involved in malaria transmission in this locality have not yet been identified. in this study, the local anthropophilic anopheles composition and natural infectivity with plasmodium were investigated. in august 2009, 927 female anophele ... | 2014 | 24863977 |
| fine structure of the eggs of anopheles (anopheles) apicimacula (diptera:culicidae). | the eggs of anopheles (anopheles) apicimacula dyar and knab are described from scanning electron micrographs. the eggs are boat-shaped, with frills that extend ventrally along the length of the egg and surround the deck region. the ornamentation on the dorsal and lateral surfaces is formed by groups of smooth, round tubercles. the ventral surface is covered by irregularly jagged tubercles. prominent lobed tubercles are present at the anterior and posterior ends of the deck. | 1996 | 8887225 |
