Metagenomic analysis evidences a core virome in Anopheles darlingi from three contrasting Colombian ecoregions. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Anopheles darlingi is a main malaria vector in the neotropical region, but its viral component is not well studied, especially in the neotropics. This work aimed to analyze the virome in Anopheles darlingi from malaria endemic regions of Colombia ...

Dietary para-aminobenzoic acid, uric acid, and antibiotics modulate the susceptibility of Anopheles darlingi and Anopheles albimanus to Plasmodium berghei [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
BackgroundMalaria, caused by Plasmodium, is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. Anopheles darlingi and Anopheles albimanus are primary vectors in South and Central America, with An.

Bionomics and malaria infection rates in anopheline species in Yanomami villages of the Brazilian Amazon Forest [PDF]

Malaria Journal
Background Malaria remains a major public health challenge in Brazil, particularly in the Amazon region, where over 90% of cases occur. Indigenous populations, such as the Yanomami, are disproportionately affected due to geographic isolation and ...

Biting behavior of Anopheles mosquitoes in Costa Marques, Rondonia, Brazil

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 1991
Mosquito collections were made in and near Costa Marques, Rondonia, Brazil, to determine anopheline anthropophilic/zoophilic behavior. Collections from a non-illuminated, bovine-baited trap and indoor and outdoor human-bait collections were compared ...
