| molecular identification of palearctic members of anopheles maculipennis in northern iran. | members of anopheles maculipennis complex are effective malaria vectors in europe and the caspian sea region in northern iran, where malaria has been re-introduced since 1994. the current study has been designed in order to provide further evidence on the status of species composition and to identify more accurately the members of the maculipennis complex in northern iran. | 2007 | 17233887 |
| circulation of dirofilaria repens and dirofilaria immitis in moldova. | over the last two decades, a significant spread of dirofilariasis has been observed in eastern and central europe. however, data on the circulation of dirofilaria spp. in moldova were absent although direct neighbor states reported high incidence rates of human dirofilariasis. | 2016 | 27912786 |
| species composition, co-occurrence, association and affinity indices of mosquito larvae (diptera: culicidae) in mazandaran province, northern iran. | although considerable progress has been made in the past years in management of mosquito borne diseases such as malaria, dengue, yellow fever and west nile fever through research in biology and ecology of the vectors, these diseases are still major threats to human health. therefore, more research is required for better management of the diseases. this investigation provides information on the composition, co-occurrence, association and affinity indices of mosquito larvae in mazandaran province, ... | 2016 | 26805471 |
| annotated checklist of the mosquitoes of the republic of moldova. | the mosquito fauna of the republic of moldova is poorly known. in an effort to understand the culicidae fauna better, mosquito collections have been conducted between early april and middle november from 2008 to 2012. a total of 10,923 larval specimens and 8,246 adults were collected from 20 regions of moldova. altogether 36 species have been recorded during the recent study, bringing the total moldovan mosquito fauna to 40 species in 9 genera and 11 subgenera. new state records include the foll ... | 2013 | 23923323 |
| arboviral surveillance of field-collected mosquitoes reveals circulation of west nile virus lineage 1 strains in eastern thrace, turkey. | arbovirus screening in invertebrate vectors is an important component of the vector-borne disease surveillance programs. turkey has been shown to harbor medically important mosquito-borne arboviruses such as west nile virus (wnv). however, limited information about infections in vectors are currently available. this study was performed to provide preliminary data from eastern thrace region, turkey, where no arbovirus vector surveillance has previously been performed. | 2013 | 23919608 |
| a quantitative risk assessment approach for mosquito-borne diseases: malaria re-emergence in southern france. | the camargue region is a former malaria endemic area, where potential anopheles vectors are still abundant. considering the importation of plasmodium due to the high number of imported malaria cases in france, the aim of this article was to make some predictions regarding the risk of malaria re-emergence in the camargue. | 2008 | 18673551 |
| molecular evidence for similarity between anopheles hyrcanus (diptera: culicidae) and anopheles pseudopictus (diptera: culicidae), sympatric potential vectors of malaria in france. | malaria was a former public health problem in the camargue, southeastern france, where members of the hyrcanus group were recently described as the main malaria potential vectors. however, the systematic status in this group, which includes at least two sympatric sibling species, anopheles hyrcanus (pallas) and anopheles pseudopictus grassi as well as a morphologically intermediate form in the camargue, is unclear. indeed, both species have been alternatively considered as separated or synonymou ... | 2008 | 18533455 |
