| status of malaria in thailand. | despite decades of control success and a competent network of country-wide health infrastructure, malaria remains an important health threat in rural thailand. all 4 known human malaria parasites have been reported present, with plasmodium falciparum and plasmodium vivax predominant. the expansion and intensity of multi-drug resistant plasmodium falciparum is the most serious development to occur the last several decades. members of 3 anopheline species complexes, anopheles dirus, anopheles mini ... | 2000 | 11127318 |
| infectious reservoir of plasmodium infection in mae hong son province, north-west thailand. | it was unknown whether the main reservoir of plasmodium falciparum and plasmodium vivax, which infects mosquitoes in thailand, was (a) in people feeling sufficiently ill with malaria to come to a clinic or (b) in people who had remained in their home villages with some fever symptoms or with none. | 2004 | 15385050 |
| population dynamics of sporogony for plasmodium vivax parasites from western thailand developing within three species of colonized anopheles mosquitoes. | the population dynamics of plasmodium sporogony within mosquitoes consists of an early phase where parasite abundance decreases during the transition from gametocyte to oocyst, an intermediate phase where parasite abundance remains static as oocysts, and a later phase where parasite abundance increases during the release of progeny sporozoites from oocysts. sporogonic development is complete when sporozoites invade the mosquito salivary glands. the dynamics and efficiency of this developmental s ... | 2006 | 16887043 |
| detection of malaria parasites in mosquitoes from the malaria-endemic area of chakaria, bangladesh. | malaria is one of the major public health problems of bangladesh. we investigated the mosquito populations infected with malaria parasites in a malaria-endemic area chakaria, bangladesh, where anopheles dirus and anopheles minimus are the principal vectors. anopheles mosquitoes were collected with a cdc miniature light trap from inside households in june 2007. a total of 868 mosquitoes were collected, among which females numbered 669 (77.1%). the species of female anopheles mosquitoes were ident ... | 2008 | 18379066 |
| persistent transmission of malaria in garo hills of meghalaya bordering bangladesh, north-east india. | malaria is endemic in garo hills of meghalaya, and death cases are reported annually. plasmodium falciparum is the major parasite, and is solely responsible for each malaria-attributable death case. garo hills are categorized high-risk for drug-resistant malaria; however, there exists no data on malaria transmitting mosquitoes prevalent in the region. included in this report are entomological observations with particular reference to vector biology characteristics for devising situation specific ... | 2010 | 20858290 |
| malaria transmission and vector behaviour in a forested malaria focus in central vietnam and the implications for vector control. | in vietnam, malaria is becoming progressively restricted to specific foci where human and vector characteristics alter the known malaria epidemiology, urging for alternative or adapted control strategies. long-lasting insecticidal hammocks (llih) were designed and introduced in ninh thuan province, south-central vietnam, to control malaria in the specific context of forest malaria. an entomological study in this specific forested environment was conducted to assess the behavioural patterns of fo ... | 2010 | 21182774 |
| progress towards malaria elimination in sabang municipality, aceh, indonesia. | indonesia has set 2030 as its deadline for elimination of malaria transmission in the archipelago, with regional deadlines established according to present levels of malaria endemicity and strength of health infrastructure. the municipality of sabang which historically had one of the highest levels of malaria in aceh province aims to achieve elimination by the end of 2013. | 2013 | 23363768 |
| the anopheles community and the role of anopheles minimus on malaria transmission on the china-myanmar border. | malaria around the china-myanmar border is a serious health problem in the countries of south-east asia. an. minimus is a principle malaria vector with a wide geographic distribution in this area. malaria is endemic along the boundary between yunnan province in china and the kachin state of myanmar where the local anopheles community (species composition) and the malaria transmission vectors have never been clarified. | 2013 | 24034528 |
| susceptibility of anopheles sinensis to plasmodium vivax in malarial outbreak areas of central china. | anopheles sinensis, anopheles anthropophagus, anopheles minimus and anopheles dirus are the major vectors of malaria transmission in china. anopheles sinensis is considered a secondary vector due to its relatively low malaria-transmission ability. however, in 2005, an outbreak of over 40,000 plasmodium vivax malaria cases was reported in areas where anopheles sinensis was the only major vector. therefore, it is necessary to reassess the malaria transmission ability of this vector species in chin ... | 2013 | 23768077 |
| role of an. culicifacies as a vector of malaria in changing ecological scenario of northeastern states of india. | malaria has become endemic and subject of concern in most part of the india especially northeastern states of india. surveys before 2000 revealed that anopheles minimus was major vector responsible for transmission of malaria in this region followed by an. dirus and an. fluviatilis. however, recent studies indicate replacement of an. minimus vector by an. culicifacies due to different ecological changes and change in landuse pattern etc. the objective of present study was to explore the vectoria ... | 2017 | 27681550 |
| a single-round multiplex pcr assay for the identification of anopheles minimus related species infected with plasmodium falciparum and plasmodium vivax. | this study aimed to develop a single-round multiplex pcr method for the identification of anopheles minimus complex (an. minimus and anopheles harrisoni) and anopheles aconitus subgroup (an. aconitus and anopheles varuna), and for the simultaneous detection of plasmodium falciparum and plasmodium vivax in these vectors. five primers were created for a single-round multiplex pcr assay to identify four anopheline mosquitoes combined with three plasmodium primers for the detection of p. falciparum ... | 2014 | 24239524 |
| false positivity of circumsporozoite protein (csp)-elisa in zoophilic anophelines in bangladesh. | circumsporozoite protein enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (csp-elisas) are widely used for malaria vector identification throughout the world. however, several studies have reported false-positive results when using this method. the present study was conducted to estimate the frequency of false positives among anopheline species in malaria endemic areas of bangladesh. in total, 4724 anopheles females belonging to 25 species were collected and tested for plasmodium falciparum, plasmodium vivax- ... | 2013 | 23085098 |
| diversity of anopheles species and trophic behavior of putative malaria vectors in two malaria endemic areas of northwestern thailand. | we determined the species diversity, blood-feeding behavior, and host preference of anopheles mosquitoes in two malaria endemic areas of tak (mae sot district) and mae hong son (sop moei district) provinces, located along the thai border with myanmar, during a consecutive two-year period. anopheline mosquitoes were collected using indoor and outdoor human-landing captures and outdoor cow-baited collections. mosquitoes were initially identified using morphological characters, followed by the appr ... | 2014 | 25424272 |
| imported plasmodium falciparum and locally transmitted plasmodium vivax: cross-border malaria transmission scenario in northwestern thailand. | cross-border malaria transmission is an important problem for national malaria control programmes. the epidemiology of cross-border malaria is further complicated in areas where plasmodium falciparum and plasmodium vivax are both endemic. by combining passive case detection data with entomological data, a transmission scenario on the northwestern thai-myanmar border where p. falciparum is likely driven by importation was described, whereas p. vivax is also locally transmitted. this study highlig ... | 2017 | 28637467 |
| ivermectin susceptibility and sporontocidal effect in greater mekong subregion anopheles. | novel vector control methods that can directly target outdoor malaria transmission are urgently needed in the greater mekong subregion (gms) to accelerate malaria elimination and artemisinin resistance containment efforts. ivermectin mass drug administration (mda) to humans has been shown to effectively kill wild anopheles and suppress malaria transmission in west africa. preliminary laboratory investigations were performed to determine ivermectin susceptibility and sporontocidal effect in gms a ... | 2017 | 28687086 |
