Novel molecular evidence of population structure in Anopheles (Kerteszia) bellator from Brazilian Atlantic Forest [PDF]

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2019
Anopheles bellator is a primary malaria vector in the Atlantic Forest. Partial sequences of timeless and Clock genes were used to assess the genetic differentiation of five Brazilian populations, which showed strong population structure (e.g.

Morphometrical diagnosis of the malaria vectors Anopheles cruzii, An. homunculus and An. bellator [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2012
Background Anopheles (Kerteszia) cruzii is a primary vector of Plasmodium parasites in Brazil’s Atlantic Forest. Adult females of An. cruzii and An. homunculus, which is a secondary malaria vector, are morphologically similar and difficult to distinguish

Role of Anopheles (Kerteszia) bellator as malaria vector in Southeastern Brazil (Diptera: Culicidae) [PDF]

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1999
New research concerning Anopheles bellator in the southeast of the State of São Paulo, Brazil, are reported. Adult females of this mosquito showed remarkable endophily and endophagy which was even greater than An. cruzii. The epidemiological role of this

Population structure of Anopheles (Kerteszia) bellator in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. [PDF]

Mem Inst Oswaldo Cruz
BACKGROUND Malaria, caused by protozoa of the genus Plasmodium and transmitted by Anopheles mosquitoes, remains a significant global health concern. In 2022, approximately 249 million malaria cases were reported worldwide, including 163,000 in Brazil. In the Atlantic Forest, An. bellator and An. cruzii are the primary vectors of malaria transmission.

Habitat suitability of Anopheles vector species and association with human malaria in the Atlantic Forest in south-eastern Brazil [PDF]

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2011
Every year, autochthonous cases of Plasmodium vivax malaria occur in low-endemicity areas of Vale do Ribeira in the south-eastern part of the Atlantic Forest, state of São Paulo, where Anopheles cruzii and Anopheles bellator are considered the primary ...

Anopheles (Kerteszia) cruzii, the main malaria vector in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, is a complex of at least five cryptic species [PDF]

Communications Biology
Malaria, a tropical disease caused by Plasmodium and transmitted by Anopheles, remains a public health concern in Brazil. While most cases occur in the Amazon, transmission persists in the Atlantic Forest, where Anopheles mosquitoes of the Kerteszia ...

A targeted amplicon sequencing panel to simultaneously identify mosquito species and Plasmodium presence across the entire Anopheles genus. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour, 2022
Abstract Anopheles is a diverse genus of mosquitoes comprising over 500 described species, including all known human malaria vectors. While a limited number of key vector species have been studied in detail, the goal of malaria elimination calls for surveillance of all potential vector species. Here, we develop a multilocus amplicon sequencing approach
