| spatial and temporal patterns of imported malaria cases and local transmission in trinidad. | over a 30-year period (1968-1997) 213 malaria cases in trinidad were investigated by the trinidad and tobago ministry of health. using a global positional system and a geographic information system, we mapped the precise location of all reported malaria cases, and associated them with breeding habitats of anopheline vectors. the majority of the cases (138, 63%) were individual imported cases around the big port cities. plasmodium falciparum was the most common parasite, and africa the most commo ... | 1999 | 10548282 |
| identification of anopheles aquasalis as a possible vector of malaria in guyana, south america. | adult female mosquitoes were collected in mahdia, guyana, to determine the incidence of malaria in anopheles species found during the month of june 2000. centers for disease control miniature white (incandescent) light traps, model 512, and miniature black (ultraviolet) light traps, model 912, were used to capture female mosquitoes. numbers of mosquitoes collected were compared between white and black light traps and between traps set outside and inside of buildings. adult female anopheles mosqu ... | 2001 | 11993026 |
| anopheles species composition explains differences in plasmodium transmission in la guajira, northern colombia. | malaria in la guajira, the most northern state of colombia, shows two different epidemiological patterns. malaria is endemic in the municipality of dibulla whereas in riohacha it is characterised by sporadic outbreaks. this study aimed to establish whether differences in transmission patterns could be attributed to different vector species. the most abundant adult female species were anopheles aquasalis, exclusive to riohacha, and anopheles darlingi, restricted to dibulla. anopheles mosquitoes w ... | 0 | 25411002 |
| an overview of malaria transmission from the perspective of amazon anopheles vectors. | in the americas, areas with a high risk of malaria transmission are mainly located in the amazon forest, which extends across nine countries. one keystone step to understanding the plasmodium life cycle in anopheles species from the amazon region is to obtain experimentally infected mosquito vectors. several attempts to colonise anopheles species have been conducted, but with only short-lived success or no success at all. in this review, we review the literature on malaria transmission from the ... | 2015 | 25742262 |
| plasmodium yoelii nigeriensis (n67) is a robust animal model to study malaria transmission by south american anopheline mosquitoes. | malaria is endemic in the american continent and the amazonian rainforest is the region with the highest risk of transmission. however, the lack of suitable experimental models to infect malaria vectors from the americas has limited the progress to understand the biology of transmission in this region. anopheles aquasalis, a major vector in coastal areas of south america, was found to be highly refractory to infection with two strains of plasmodium falciparum (nf54 and 7g8) and with plasmodium b ... | 2016 | 27911924 |
