| mosquito survey in tripura. | vector survey carried out in tripura revealed the presence of 17 species of anophelines with a density of 92.39 per trap night. major malaria vector encountered was anopheles philippinensis which formed 30% of the total collection and is exophagic in nature. another efficient malaria vector an. minimus which formed 5% of the total collection prevails equally both indoors and outdoors. the high parity rate of an. philippinensis (59%) and an. minimus (63.9%) gives a strong indication about their v ... | 1991 | 1687389 |
| comparative susceptibility of southeast asian anopheles mosquitoes to the simian malaria parasite plasmodium cynomolgi. | seven anopheles species/isolates were compared with anopheles dirus (control) for susceptibility to plasmodium cynomolgi b strain. the mean numbers of oocysts in paired replicates of an. dirus and an. takasagoensis were not significantly different. the remaining test species had significantly fewer mean numbers of oocysts than anopheles dirus (p less than 0.01). anopheles dirus had the highest percentage of mosquitoes infected with p. cynomolgi sporozoites (82%). of the test groups, anopheles di ... | 1991 | 1791460 |
| incrimination of anopheles aconitus donitz as a vector of epidemic malaria in bangladesh. | in 1989-91, post-monsoon epidemics of vivax malaria occurred in the central flood plain near dhaka. anopheles philippinensis, the usual vector in the paddy field habitat, was not present, but 1.4% of parous an. aconitus were infective. this is only the second time an. aconitus has been incriminated as a vector in bangladesh. we speculate that the surprising increase in lowland malaria may have been caused by environmental change that favored the survival of an. aconitus. | 1992 | 1298093 |
| present perspectives of malaria transmission in boko area of assam. | a longitudinal study on malaria transmission was conducted from january 1984 to december 1988 in three villages in boko phc of assam, where indoor residual ddt spray was withdrawn during the period of study. anopheline fauna comprising of 19 species was identified and their seasonal density estimated. anopheles philippinensis was the predominant species followed by an. minimus. the principal role of an. minimus in the transmission of malaria and predilection for indoor resting in this area was c ... | 1993 | 8014435 |

| taxonomical observations on anopheles philippinensis/nivipes group mosquitoes in north-east india. | to examine the distribution pattern of anopheles philippinensis and an. nivipes, mosquitoes belonging to an. philippinensis/nivipes group were collected from five sites in north-east indian state of assam and its adjoining areas and identified. presence of both an. philippinensis and an. nivipes, with predominance of the latter taxon, was recorded with conformity on the basis of pupal paddle characteristics. based on adult wing characters, 91.4% specimens were identified as an. philippinensis an ... | 2004 | 16506549 |
| potential of anopheles philippinensis-nivipes complex mosquitoes as malaria vector in north-east india. | anopheles philippinensis-nivipes complex mosquitoes, captured in outdoor human landing catches and light traps in human dwellings from four different sites in assam state and adjoining areas, were examined (n=1670) for the presence of circumsporozoite antigen (csa) through enzyme linked immunosorbent assays (elisa), using species specific capture monoclonal antibodies, of plasmodium falciparum and two plasmodium vivax polymorphs (pv 210 and vk 247). in elisa, 28 pools were found positive for csa ... | 2005 | 16459563 |
| characterization of its2 rdna of anopheles philippinensis and anopheles nivipes (diptera: culicidae) from north-east india. | anopheles (cellia) philippinensis ludlow and anopheles (cellia) nivipes (theobald) are two closely related, morphologically very similar, mosquito species in the annularis group, which play a supportive role in malaria transmission in north-east india. we amplified and performed sequence analysis for the internal transcribed spacer 2 (its2) locus of ribosomal dna (rdna) gene of morphologically confirmed specimens of these two species from the states of assam and nagaland. an. philippinensis and ... | 2006 | 17333766 |
| molecular identification of mosquito species in the anopheles annularis group in southern asia. | the anopheles annularis group of subgenus cellia theobald (diptera: culicidae) includes five currently recognized species in southern asia: an. annularis van der wulp, anopheles nivipes (theobald) and anopheles philippinensis ludlow, which are widespread in the region, anopheles pallidus theobald, which is known in sri lanka, india and myanmar, and anopheles schueffneri stanton, which occurs in java and sumatra. identification of the four mainland species based on morphology is problematic. in v ... | 2007 | 17373944 |
| distribution of anopheles in vietnam, with particular attention to malaria vectors of the anopheles minimus complex. | the distribution of anopheline mosquitoes in vietnam was examined, with a particular interest for the two sibling species of the anopheles minimus complex (cellia: myzomyia), an. minimus and anopheles harrisoni, respectively former species a and c. because the morphological identification of both sibling species is difficult and may lead to misidentifications, accurate data on their respective distribution are missing. this is of fundamental importance since the two species seem to exhibit diffe ... | 2008 | 18190697 |
| prevalence of anopheline species and their plasmodium infection status in epidemic-prone border areas of bangladesh. | information related to malaria vectors is very limited in bangladesh. in the changing environment and various anopheles species may be incriminated and play role in the transmission cycle. this study was designed with an intention to identify anopheline species and possible malaria vectors in the border belt areas, where the malaria is endemic in bangladesh. | 2010 | 20074326 |
| molecular evidence for the involvement of anopheles nivipes (diptera: culicidae) in the transmission of plasmodium falciparum in north-eastern india. | the anopheles philippinensis and an. nivipes mosquitoes that form part of the an. annularis species group are morphologically very similar and difficult to differentiate as adults. in consequence, researchers generally refer to all field-collected individuals of these species simply as the an. philippinensis-nivipes species complex. although this species complex is understood to play a role in the transmission of parasites causing human malaria in north-eastern india, the identity of the exact s ... | 2010 | 20659394 |
| vectors and malaria transmission in deforested, rural communities in north-central vietnam. | malaria is still prevalent in rural communities of central vietnam even though, due to deforestation, the primary vector anopheles dirus is uncommon. in these situations little is known about the secondary vectors which are responsible for maintaining transmission. basic information on the identification of the species in these rural communities is required so that transmission parameters, such as ecology, behaviour and vectorial status can be assigned to the appropriate species. | 2010 | 20846447 |
| malaria transmission and vector behaviour in a forested malaria focus in central vietnam and the implications for vector control. | in vietnam, malaria is becoming progressively restricted to specific foci where human and vector characteristics alter the known malaria epidemiology, urging for alternative or adapted control strategies. long-lasting insecticidal hammocks (llih) were designed and introduced in ninh thuan province, south-central vietnam, to control malaria in the specific context of forest malaria. an entomological study in this specific forested environment was conducted to assess the behavioural patterns of fo ... | 2010 | 21182774 |

| diversity and seasonal densities of vector anophelines in relation to forest fringe malaria in district sonitpur, assam (india). | the prevalence and bionomics of known indian malaria vector anophelines was studied in three forest fringe villages in sonitpur district of assam, india. anopheles philippinensis/nivipes (36.8%) and an. annularis (25.6%) were the most abundant of the seven vector anopheline species recorded. densities of vector anophelines in general were high during monsoon season and low during winter months. an. dirus s.l. was the most anthropophagic (91.6%) of all the species collected whereas, an. annularis ... | 2011 | 23024492 |
| seasonal abundance and distribution of anopheles larvae in a riparian malaria endemic area of western thailand. | three taxonomic groups of anopheles larvae were morphologically identified within the funestus group (minimus subgroup and aconitus subgroup) (75.63%), maculatus group (20.47%), and barbirostris group (0.57%) during a two-year period in conjunction with active malaria transmission in a village near the thai-myanmar border in kanchanaburi province, western thailand. the remaining 3.33% of anophelines collected were anopheles culicifacies (3.07%), anopheles philippinensis (0.17%), and anopheles va ... | 2012 | 23077839 |
| insecticide substitutes for ddt to control mosquitoes may be causes of several diseases. | malaria continues to be a public health problem in bangladesh, despite efforts in the 1960s to eradicate the vectors through the use of ddt. at one point, eradication of malaria was acclaimed but later on it reappeared. the use of ddt is no more legally allowed in bangladesh, which has been officially replaced by a number organophosphates and/or synthetic pyrethroids and their combinations in addition to the integrated vector management (ivm) package. ivm being a community approach is still to g ... | 2012 | 22956113 |
| spatial distribution and molecular characterization of anopheles nivipes and anopheles philippinensis (diptera: culicidae) in north-east india. | anopheles philippinensis-nivipes species of mosquitoes are considered secondary malaria vectors in the north-east india. however, difficulty in separating an. philippinensis and an. nivipes accurately on the basis of morphological identification, due to the overlapping female wing characters, has led to the paucity of information on their spatial distribution and vectorial importance, essential for understanding malaria disease epidemiology in areas under their influence. in view of this a study ... | 2012 | 22374100 |
| entomologic investigation of plasmodium knowlesi vectors in kuala lipis, pahang, malaysia. | the first natural infection of plasmodium knowlesi in humans was recorded in 1965 in peninsular malaysia. extensive research was then conducted and it was postulated that it was a rare incident and that simian malaria will not be easily transmitted to humans. however, at the turn of the 21st century, knowlesi malaria was prevalent throughout southeast asia and is life threatening. thus, a longitudinal study was initiated to determine the vectors, their seasonal variation and preference to humans ... | 2012 | 22727041 |
| false positivity of circumsporozoite protein (csp)-elisa in zoophilic anophelines in bangladesh. | circumsporozoite protein enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (csp-elisas) are widely used for malaria vector identification throughout the world. however, several studies have reported false-positive results when using this method. the present study was conducted to estimate the frequency of false positives among anopheline species in malaria endemic areas of bangladesh. in total, 4724 anopheles females belonging to 25 species were collected and tested for plasmodium falciparum, plasmodium vivax- ... | 2013 | 23085098 |
| outdoor malaria transmission in forested villages of cambodia. | despite progress in malaria control, malaria remains an important public health concern in cambodia, mostly linked to forested areas. large-scale vector control interventions in cambodia are based on the free distribution of long-lasting insecticidal nets (llins), targeting indoor- and late-biting malaria vectors only. the present study evaluated the vector density, early biting activity and malaria transmission of outdoor-biting malaria vectors in two forested regions in cambodia. | 2013 | 24044424 |
| risk factors for mosquito house entry in the lao pdr. | construction of the nam theun 2 hydroelectric project and flooding of a 450 km(2) area of mountain plateau in south-central lao pdr resulted in the resettlement of 6,300 people to newly built homes. we examined whether new houses would have altered risk of house entry by mosquitoes compared with traditional homes built from poorer construction materials. | 2013 | 23700411 |
| entomological determinants of insecticide-treated bed net effectiveness in western myanmar. | in a large cluster randomized control trial of insecticide-treated bed nets (itn) in western myanmar the malaria protective effect of itn was found to be highly variable and, in aggregate, the effect was not statistically significant. a coincident entomological investigation measured malaria vector abundance and biting behaviour and the human population sleeping habits, factors relevant to itn effectiveness. | 2013 | 24119994 |
