| human biting activity, spatial-temporal distribution and malaria vector role of anopheles calderoni in the southwest of colombia. | anopheles calderoni was first recognized in colombia in 2010 as this species had been misidentified as anopheles punctimacula due to morphological similarities. an. calderoni is considered a malaria vector in peru and has been found naturally infected with plasmodium falciparum in colombia. however, its biting behaviour, population dynamics and epidemiological importance have not been well described for colombia. | 2015 | 26104785 |
| spatial distributions of anopheles species in relation to malaria incidence at 70 localities in the highly endemic northwest and south pacific coast regions of colombia. | a proper identification of malaria vectors is essential for any attempt to control this disease. between 40 and 47 anopheles species have been recorded in colombia, and eight species complexes have been identified in the last decade. an update of anopheles species distribution and its relationship with malaria is required, particularly for newly identified members of species complexes. | 2016 | 27515166 |
| anthropophilic biting behaviour of anopheles (kerteszia) neivai howard, dyar & knab associated with fishermen's activities in a malaria-endemic area in the colombian pacific. | on the southwest pacific coast of colombia, a field study was initiated to determine the human-vector association between anopheles (kerteszia) neivai and fishermen, including their nearby houses. mosquitoes were collected over 24-h periods from mangrove swamps, marshlands and fishing vessels in three locations, as well as in and around the houses of fishermen. a total of 6,382 mosquitoes were collected. an. neivai was most abundant in mangroves and fishing canoes (90.8%), while anopheles albima ... | 0 | 24402159 |
| morphology of the larvae, male genitalia and dna sequences of anopheles (kerteszia) pholidotus (diptera: culicidae) from colombia. | since 1984, anopheles (kerteszia) lepidotus has been considered a mosquito species that is involved in the transmission of malaria in colombia, after having been incriminated as such with epidemiological evidence from a malaria outbreak in cunday-villarrica, tolima. subsequent morphological analyses of females captured in the same place and at the time of the outbreak showed that the species responsible for the transmission was not an. lepidotus, but rather anopheles pholidotus. however, the ass ... | 0 | 25075785 |
| is there malaria transmission in urban settings in colombia? | colombia contributes a significant proportion of malaria cases in the americas, which are predominantly rural. however, in the last 8 years ~ 10 % of the endemic municipalities have also reported urban and peri-urban malaria cases, a growing concern for health authorities. this study focused on the characterization of the officially reported urban malaria cases. | 2015 | 26573620 |
