anopheles parensis: the main member of the anopheles funestus species group found resting inside human dwellings in mwea area of central kenya toward the end of the rainy season.a total of 460 anopheles funestus s.l. was collected inside human dwellings in mwea, central kenya. of the 414 specimens that were positively identified, 1 was anopheles leesoni and the others were anopheles parensis. none of the 373 specimens tested were positive for plasmodium falciparum or plasmodium malariae sporozoites by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa). of the 139 elisa blood-meal-positive specimens, 82.01% and 1.44% had fed on cattle and humans, respectively. these results are d ...200312825663
[epidemiological baseline situation before the construction of a small dam in five villages of bouaké, central côte-d'ivoire].abstract from june 2007 to june 2008, entomological, malacological and parasitological investigations were carried out in five villages in close proximity to a small dam of raf-fierkro in bouaké, central côte-d'ivoire. the objective of the study was to identify vectors and intermediate host snails of parasitic diseases related to water, and to assess the prevalence of malaria, schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminthiasis before dam construction. mosquitoes were caught by human landing catc ...201020084484
malaria case in madagascar, probable implication of a new vector, anopheles coustani.indoor spraying of insecticides and the use of insecticide-treated bed nets are key strategies for national malaria vector control in the central highlands of madagascar. during the year 2013, malaria outbreaks were reported by the national malaria control programme in the highlands, including the district of ankazobe.201526620552
entomological indices of malaria transmission in chikhwawa district, southern malawi.although malaria is highly prevalent throughout malawi, little is known of its transmission dynamics. this paper describes the seasonal activity of the different vectors, human biting indices, sporozoite rates and the entomological inoculation rate in a low-lying rural area in southern malawi.201223171123
malaria transmission in two rural communities in the forest zone of ghana.malaria transmission was assessed in two rural communities, kona and afamanaso in sekyere south district, ashanti region, in the forest zone of ghana to provide baseline data for ongoing clinical studies and the evaluation of the effect of interventions. altogether, 3,479 anopheles gambiae and 1,157 anopheles funestus were caught by human landing catches. sporozoite rates determined by either microscopy of salivary glands or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) for plasmodium falciparum in ...201021153839
moderate transmission but high prevalence of malaria in madagascar.malaria transmission remains poorly documented in areas of low transmission. a study has been carried out over two consecutive years in analamiranga, a village located at an altitude of 885m on the western edge of the malagasy highlands, with the aim of generating and updating malariometric indexes for both mosquitoes and schoolchildren. in this village, no vector control measures were performed during the study period nor during previous decades. mosquitoes were collected monthly when landing o ...200616842796
[malaria indices, larval ecology and trophic activity of anopheles mosquitoes in djohong (adamaoua, cameroon) in the rainy season].in djohong in the wet season the prevalence of malaria is 17.5% for plasmodium falciparum and 1.1% for plasmodium malariae. in children 2 to 9 years of age the plasmodic index is 38.6% (mesoendemicity) for the children of the peasants and 9.4% for those belonging to other socioeconomical groups. in infants less than 12 months old, the plasmodic index is 9.3%, this relatively high rate corresponding to the high transmission period of the rainy season. anopheles gambiae is the mosquito species mos ...19938289630
[aspects of malaria in a village of the humid savannah of the ivory coast].malaria is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in ivory coast. this fact justifies further epidemiological investigations to define regional features and allow implementation of the most suitable control measures. to this end, a study focusing on transmission of malaria was conducted between january and may 1993 concurrently with malarial parasite identification in allokoukro, a village in the humid savannah in the central region of ivory coast. two vectors of malaria were found in the vill ...19947746125
