| elisa incrimination of anopheles superpictus and anopheles hyrcanus (diptera: culicidae) as vectors of plasmodium vivax (haemosporida: plasmodiidae) in tajikistan. | entomological surveys were conducted in the malaria-endemic southwestern region of tajikistan to establish which species of anopheles may be responsible for malaria transmission. the head-thorax portions of 2,213 wild-caught anopheles females-anopheles superpictus grassi (n = 1,292), anopheles pulcherrimus theobald (n = 376), anopheles hyrcanus (pallas) (n = 544), and anopheles claviger (meigen) (diptera: culicidae) (n = 1)-were tested for the presence of plasmodium sporozoites using enzyme-link ... | 2013 | 24843935 |
| biting activity of mosquito species (diptera: culicidae) in the turkey-armenia border area, ararat valley, turkey. | during nine consecutive nights in july 2007 (from 18:15-05:45 h), mosquitoes landing-biting on humans were collected outdoors and indoors at the turkey-armenia border. a total of 1005 females were collected consisting of nine species. the dominant species was aedes dorsalis (meigen) (47.5% of total catch), followed by anopheles hyrcanus (pallas) (22.9%), culex theileri (theobald) (9.3%),ae. vexans (meigen) (6.6%), ae. caspius (pallas) (4.9%),anopheles maculipennis s.l. (meigen) (3.1%), culex ter ... | 2010 | 20180304 |
| biology and dynamics of potential malaria vectors in southern france. | malaria is a former endemic problem in the camargue, south east france, an area from where very few recent data concerning anopheles are available. a study was undertaken in 2005 to establish potential malaria vector biology and dynamics and evaluate the risk of malaria re-emergence. | 2007 | 17313664 |
| horse-, bird-, and human-seeking behavior and seasonal abundance of mosquitoes in a west nile virus focus of southern france. | after 35 yr of disease absence, west nile virus (family flaviviridae, genus flavivirus, wnv) circulation has been regularly detected in the camargue region (southern france) since 2000. wnv was isolated from culex modestus ficalbi, which was considered the main vector in southern france after horse outbreaks in the 1960s. recent wnv transmissions outside of the cx. modestus distribution suggested the existence of other vectors. to study potential wnv vectors, horse- and bird-baited traps and hum ... | 2006 | 17017231 |
| isolation of tahyna virus (california encephalitis group) from anopheles hyrcanus (diptera, culicidae), a mosquito species new to, and expanding in, central europe. | two strains of tahyna virus (tahv; orthobunyavirus, bunyaviridae) were isolated from 4,568 (92 pools) female anopheles hyrcanus pallas (diptera, culicidae) mosquitoes collected on the fishponds in south moravia (czechland, central europe) during july-august 2013. this is the first isolation of tahv from an. hyrcanus in europe. an. hyrcanus is a species new to czechland since 2007; its population density was very high in the year 2013 at these ponds. the virus isolation procedure was based on int ... | 2014 | 26309316 |
| factors influencing the spatial distribution of anopheles larvae in coimbatore district, tamil nadu, india. | malaria causes extensive morbidity and mortality in humans and results in significant economic losses in india. the distribution of immature malaria-transmitting anopheles mosquitoes was studied in 17 villages in coimbatore district as a prelude to the development and implementation of vector control strategies that are intended to reduce the risk of human exposure to potentially infectious mosquitoes. eight anopheles species were recorded. the most numerous species were anopheles vagus, anophel ... | 2015 | 26364718 |
