| microfilarial periodicity of wuchereria bancrofti in vanuatu. | a study on the relationship between the microfilarial periodicity of wuchereria bancrofti and vector biting activity was carried out in penama province, vanuatu from february to april 1999, to enable the design of a more efficient strategy to control filariasis transmission. the microfilarial periodicities of 22 w. bancrofti antigen-positive volunteers were studied. microfilariae (mf) were counted every hour for 24 h for 6 volunteers and every hour for 12 h (from 18:00 to 06:00) for 16 volunteer ... | 2003 | 15307409 |

| [epidemiology of malaria in tanna (vanuatu)]. | a malaria survey done on the island of tanna (southern part of vanuatu) showed that this island was hypoendemic with a few areas mesoendemicity where permanent breeding site are available for anopheles farauti. the average spleen rate was 5,25% and the parasite rate 10,43%. plasmodium vivax was the most prevalent species. the vector anopheles farauti was found to be endophilic. recently, chloroquin resistance was observed. | 1984 | 6391709 |
| [malaria in vanuatu. recent epidemiological data]. | the republic of vanuatu, ex-condominium of new-hebrides, is an archipelago in the south pacific, between solomon islands and new-caledonia. although the health system is quite satisfactory, malaria has become the major health problem in the whole country. its epidemiological characteristics are reviewed, and particularly the biology of the only known vector, the anopheles farauti complex. a sudden and severe aggravation of the malaria morbidity since 1980 is then evidenced. this increase of the ... | 1986 | 3542257 |
| [lymphatic filariasis in vanuatu]. | lymphatic filariasis, in the archipelago of vanuatu, is due to wuchereria bancrofti. the vector is anopheles farauti, endophilic mosquito, which transmits also malaria. the level of endemicity was very high in the beginning of this century (microfilariae in blood: 60.9%, elephantiasis: 21%), and has dramatically decline now by detection and treatment of sick people (70 cases in 1986), mass chimioprophylaxis and protection against the vectors. but these actions must be continued to obtain the era ... | 1987 | 2894256 |
| population structure and gene flow of anopheles farauti s.s. (diptera: culicidae) among ten sites on five islands of vanuatu: implications for malaria control. | the anopheles punctulatus (diptera: culicidae) group is the main vector for malaria and bancroftian filariasis in vanuatu. anopheles larvae were collected from 10 localities on five islands of vanuatu during the 2004 dry season for species identification as well as for estimating population structure and gene flow within and among islands. species identification was determined using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of the internal transcribed spacer 2 r ... | 2007 | 17695014 |
| genetic diversity and gene flow of humans, plasmodium falciparum, and anopheles farauti s.s. of vanuatu: inferred malaria dispersal and implications for malaria control. | a comparison of the patterns of gene flow within and between islands and the genetic diversities of the three species required for malaria transmission (humans, plasmodium falciparum, and anopheles farauti s.s.) within the model island system of vanuatu, shows that the active dispersal of an. farauti s.s. is responsible for within island movement of parasites. in contrast, since both p. falciparum and an. farauti s.s. populations are largely restricted to islands, movement of parasites between i ... | 2007 | 17662681 |
