| anopheles of bolivia: new records with an updated and annotated checklist. | anopheles squamifemur has been identified from cdc light trap collections carried out at arca de israel, a small community located in the extreme north-east of bolivia (pando department) on the banks of the river madera, on the border with brazil. anopheles costai and an. forattinii have been identified in place of an. mediopunctatus which has been removed from the bolivian list of anopheles species. the first identification of an. trinkae in bolivia by dr. j.c. lien in 1984 is cleared. the pres ... | 2009 | 19393981 |
| diversification of the genus anopheles and a neotropical clade from the late cretaceous. | the anopheles genus is a member of the culicidae family and consists of approximately 460 recognized species. the genus is composed of 7 subgenera with diverse geographical distributions. despite its huge medical importance, a consensus has not been reached on the phylogenetic relationships among anopheles subgenera. we assembled a comprehensive dataset comprising the coi, coii and 5.8s rrna genes and used maximum likelihood and bayesian inference to estimate the phylogeny and divergence times o ... | 2015 | 26244561 |
| delayed egg hatching of anopheles gambiae (diptera: culicidae) pending water agitation. | mosquito eggs laid on water surfaces typically hatch spontaneously soon after the embryos within them become fully formed first-instar larvae. however, we have found that anopheles gambiae giles, an important vector of malaria in africa, exhibits delayed hatching until the water surface is agitated, a feature overlooked in most laboratory colonies. agitation within 24 h postoviposition, before embryonation was complete, failed to stimulate delayed postembryonic hatching of isolated eggs on the f ... | 0 | 24897850 |
| 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 |
| investigation of a sudden malaria outbreak in the isolated amazonian village of saul, french guiana, january-april 2009. | malaria is endemic in french guiana. plasmodium falciparum and plasmodium vivax are the predominant species responsible and anopheles darlingi is described as the major vector. in mid-august 2008, an increase in malaria incidence was observed in saül. a retrospective cohort survey was performed. in vitro susceptibility profiles to antimalarials were determined on p. falciparum isolates. collections of mosquitoes were organized. the malaria attack rate reached 70.6/100. the risk of malaria increa ... | 0 | 22492141 |
