| the susceptibility of anopheles lesteri to infection with korean strain of plasmodium vivax. | following its recent re-emergence, malaria has gained renewed attention as a serious infectious disease in korea. three species of the hyrcanusgroup, anopheles lesteri, anopheles sinensis and anopheles pullus, have long been suspected malaria vectors. however, opinions about their vector ability are controversial. the present study was designed with the aim of determining the susceptibility of these mosquitoes to a korean isolate of plasmodium vivax. also, an. sinensis is primarily suspected to ... | 2009 | 19284634 |
| mosquito species associated within some western himalayas phytogeographic zones in the garhwal region of india. | thirty four species of mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae) were collected across three phytogeographic zones; tropical (300 to 1000 m), sub tropical (1000 to 2000 m) and temperate (2000 to 3000 m) in the garhwal region of india. they included 5 genera: aedes, anopheles, armigeres, culex and uranotaenia. of these, the immature forms of 23 species were recovered from different breeding habitats. the larval habitats were seepage pools, river beds, rice fields, tanks, forest pools, ditches, streams, roc ... | 2007 | 20233101 |
| anopheline species and their plasmodium infection status in aligarh, india. | malaria is a global issue and india contributes substantially to global malaria incidence. information related to malaria vectors is very limited in aligarh. the environmental and climatological situations permit the continual breeding of vectors in permanent breeding sites. this study was designed with the aim to screen all the anophelines species and possible malaria vectors in three different localities of aligarh. anopheles mosquitoes were collected from three different localities (fort, jal ... | 2015 | 27579016 |
| knockdown resistance of anopheles sinensis in henan province, china. | vivax malaria was historically epidemic in henan province of china and anopheles sinensis was the main vectors and poor farming communities bare the greatest burden of disease. knockdown resistance in an. sinensis is one of the mechanisms of resistance against pyrethroids. in the present study, the frequency of mutations from an. sinensis was examined in henan province, china. | 2015 | 25890038 |
| mosquito species composition and plasmodium vivax infection rates for korean army bases near the demilitarized zone in the republic of korea, 2011. | vivax malaria is a significant military and civilian health threat in northern republic of korea (rok). mosquito collections were performed at two rok army installations, paju near the demilitarized zone (dmz) using black light traps in 2011. the dmz, a 4 km wide border, is the northernmost point of the rok and separates the rok from the democratic people's republic of korea (dprk). anopheles spp. were identified by polymerase chain reaction and screened for plasmodium vivax sporozoites. of 4,35 ... | 2012 | 23243112 |
| the polymorphism and the geographical distribution of the knockdown resistance (kdr) of anopheles sinensis in the republic of korea. | in the republic of korea (rok), six sibling species of the anopheles sinensis complex are considered the vector species of malaria, but data on their susceptibilities to malaria and vector capacities have been controversial. the intensive use of insecticides has contributed to the rapid development and spread of insecticide resistance in the an. sinensis complex. knockdown resistance (kdr) to pyrethroids and ddt in the an. sinensis complex is associated with a mutation in codon 1014 of the volta ... | 2012 | 22554130 |
| species composition, larval habitats, seasonal occurrence and distribution of potential malaria vectors and associated species of anopheles (diptera: culicidae) from the republic of korea. | larval mosquito habitats of potential malaria vectors and related species of anopheles from three provinces (gyeonggi, gyeongsangbuk, chungcheongbuk provinces) of the republic of korea were surveyed in 2007. this study aimed to determine the species composition, seasonal occurrence and distributions of anopheles mosquitoes. satellite derived normalized difference vegetation index data (ndvi) was also used to study the seasonal abundance patterns of anopheles mosquitoes. | 2010 | 20163728 |
| overwintering of anopheles lindesayi japonicus larvae in the republic of korea. | mosquito larval surveillance for environmental monitoring and pest-control purposes was conducted monthly at dredged soil-dumping areas during the construction of a new harbor in yongcheon bay, approximately 5 km se of jinhae, on the sw side of namsan (mt. nam) and across the bay from su-do (su island) in gyeongsangnam province, republic of korea (rok) from november 2007 through april 2008. during this study, mosquitoes collected as overwintering larvae were aedes togoi in brackish rock pools al ... | 2009 | 19432066 |
| anopheles lindesayi japonicus yamada (diptera: culicidae) in korea: comprehensive review, new collection records, and description of larval habitats. | anopheles lindesayi japonicus yamada is an uncommonly collected mosquito in korea, and its presence is based upon limited collection data and anecdotal reports in korean mosquito literature: 45 specimens collected from 15 identified sites. this study reports the collection of 538 specimens from 16 sites as part of the authors' 2004-2007 anopheline surveillance. larvae were collected from stream margins, stream pools, rock pools, seepage springs, artificial containers, swamps, and ditches and wer ... | 2008 | 18697312 |
| identification of three distinct groups of anopheles lindesayi in japan by morphological and genetic analyses. | anopheles (anopheles) lindesayi giles consists of 5 subspecies. in japan, only one subspecies, an. l. japonicus yamada, has been reported. its geographical populations are morphologically diverse; however, they are regarded as a single subspecies. in this study, we re-evaluated the taxonomic status of an. l. japonicus in japan, and that of another subspecies, an. l. pleccau, distributed in taiwan, by comparative morphological and molecular analyses based on the gene sequences of mitochondrial dn ... | 2018 | 29962483 |
