The influence of anthropogenic habitat fragmentation on the genetic structure and diversity of the malaria vector Anopheles cruzii (Diptera: Culicidae). [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2020 AbstractFragmentation of natural environments as a result of human interference has been associated with a decrease in species richness and increase in abundance of a few species that have adapted to these environments. The Brazilian Atlantic Forest, which has been undergoing an intense process of fragmentation and deforestation caused by human-made ...

Effects of anthropogenic landscape changes on the abundance and acrodendrophily of Anopheles (Kerteszia) cruzii, the main vector of malaria parasites in the Atlantic Forest in Brazil [PDF]
Malaria Journal, 2019 Background The mosquito Anopheles (Kerteszia) cruzii is the main vector of human and simian malaria in the Atlantic Forest. This species is usually abundant in the forests where it occurs, preferring to live and feed on canopies, behaviour known as ...

PCR-RAPD and PCR-RFLP polymorphisms detected in Anopheles cruzii (Diptera, Culicidae) [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Entomologia, 2006 The aim of the present study was to examine genetic variability in populations of An. cruzii by employing PCR-RAPD and PCR-RFLP markers. All analyses were carried out using individuals of the F1 generation of wild caught females obtained in Santa Catarina State (Florianopolis and Sao Francisco do Sul), Parana State (Morretes, Paranagua and Guaratuba ...

Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2015 The mosquito species Anopheles cruzii and Anopheles homunculus are co-occurring vectors for etiological agents of malaria in southeastern Brazil, a region known to be a major epidemic spot for malaria outside Amazon region. We sought to better understand the biology of these species in order to contribute to future control efforts by (1) improving ...

Speciation in Brazilian Atlantic Forest Mosquitoes: A Mini-Review of the Anopheles cruzii Species Complex [PDF]
, 2012 Anopheles (Kerteszia) cruzii s.l. (Diptera: Culicidae) has long been known as the primary vector of human and simian malaria parasites in southern and southeastern Brazil (Deane et al., 1970; 1971; Rachou, 1958). Between 1930 and 1960, An. cruzii together with Anopheles (Kerteszia) bellator and Anopheles (Kerteszia) homunculus were considered the main ...

Revista Panamericana de Salud Pública, 1997 O Estado de Sao Paulo, situado na regiao Sudeste do Brasil, apresenta esporadicamente casos autoctones de malaria que se caracterizam pela presenca de quadro clinico benigno com parasitemias baixas e sintomatologia branda, identificados como malaria vivax. Pouco se sabe a respeito da sintomatologia e resposta imune desenvolvidas pelo ser humano para as

The polytene chromosomes of the mosquito Anopheles bellator compared with those of Anopheles cruzii [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Genetics, 1996 A photographic map was made of polytene chromosomes of ovarian nurse cells of Anopheles bellator females. The chromosomes of this species have complete or partial homology with those of A. cruzii, mainly in the telomeric and centromeric regions. Variability at the single band level was observed as asymmetric bands at seven different positions.

Inversion polymorphism in a natural population ofAnopheles cruzii [PDF]
Caryologia, 1994 SUMMARYA survey of a natural population of Anopheles cruzii from Aldeia dos Indios, Sao Paulo, Brazil, has disclosed the existence of a highly polymorphic genetic system characterized by the presence of 14 independent paracentric inversions and at least other five inversions belonging to two complexes.
