FOOD OF LARVAL ANOPHELES CULICIFACIES AND ANOPHELES VARUNA IN A STREAM HABITAT IN SRI LANKA

Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 2005
No previous studies have been conducted on the natural food of larval Anopheles culicifacies s.l. (the major malaria vector) and An. varuna (a secondary vector) in Sri Lanka. The present study analyzed the contents of guts dissected from larvae collected from pools in a natural stream-cum-irrigation conveyance channel in the Upper Yan Oya watershed in ...

Characterization of the 3-HKT gene in important malaria vectors in India, viz: Anopheles culicifacies and Anopheles stephensi (Diptera: Culicidae)

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2008
The 3-hydroxykynurenine transaminase (3-HKT) gene plays a vital role in the development of malaria parasites by participating in the synthesis of xanthurenic acid, which is involved in the exflagellation of microgametocytes in the midgut of malaria ...

Parasite killing in malaria non-vector mosquito Anopheles culicifacies species B: implication of nitric oxide synthase upregulation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
BACKGROUND: Anopheles culicifacies, the main vector of human malaria in rural India, is a complex of five sibling species. Despite being phylogenetically related, a naturally selected subgroup species B of this sibling species complex is found to be a ...

Anopheles culicifacies breeding in brackish waters in Sri Lanka and implications for malaria control [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2010
Background Anopheles culicifacies is the major vector of both falciparum and vivax malaria in Sri Lanka, while Anopheles subpictus and certain other species function as secondary vectors. In Sri Lanka, An.

Karyotypic assignment of Sri Lankan Anopheles culicifacies species B and E does not correlate with cytochrome oxidase subunit I and microsatellite genotypes

Parasites & Vectors, 2015
Background The identification of species B and E in the Anopheles culicifacies complex in the Indian subcontinent has been based on Y-chromosome karyotype.

Knockdown resistance (kdr) mutations in Indian Anopheles culicifacies populations. [PDF]

Parasit Vectors, 2015
Anopheles culicifacies s.l. is one of the primary vectors of malaria in India responsible for the highest number of malaria cases. This vector is resistant to DDT in most parts of the country with indication of emerging resistance to pyrethroids. Since knockdown resistance (kdr) is known to confer cross-resistance between DDT and pyrethroids owing to a

Comparative proteomics of salivary glands of Anopheles culicifacies mosquitoes using tandem mass tag (TMT) mass spectrometry

Journal of Vector Borne Diseases, 2018
Background & objectives: Salivary gland proteins play a pivotal role in blood feeding, epithelial interactions, and parasite transmission in mosquito vectors. Anopheles culicifacies is a complex of five sibling species, viz.
