A sensitive, specific and reproducible real-time polymerase chain reaction method for detection of Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparum infection in field-collected anophelines

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2015
We describe a simple method for detection of Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparum infection in anophelines using a triplex TaqMan real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay (18S rRNA).

Natural Wolbachia infections are common in the major malaria vectors in Central Africa

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 12, Issue 8, Page 1583-1594, September 2019., 2019
Abstract During the last decade, the endosymbiont bacterium Wolbachia has emerged as a biological tool for vector disease control. However, for long time, it was believed that Wolbachia was absent in natural populations of Anopheles. The recent discovery that species within the Anopheles gambiae complex host Wolbachia in natural conditions has opened ...

LIMITED DIVERSITY OF ANOPHELES DARLINGI IN THE PERUVIAN AMAZON REGION OF IQUITOS [PDF]

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2006
Anopheles darlingi is the most important malaria vector in the Amazon basin of South America, and is capable of transmitting both Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax. To understand the genetic structure of this vector in the Amazonian region of Peru, a simple polymerase chain reaction (PCR)–based test to identify this species of mosquito was used.

Genomic Insights Into Host Shifts Between Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium simium in Latin America

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Malaria in Latin America is largely caused by Plasmodium vivax, but the closely related monkey parasite Plasmodium simium has recently been observed in humans, thus raising new public health concerns. By screening 719 monkey samples from five Latin America countries, we identified 23 Plasmodium‐positives.

Effects of the removal or reduction in density of the malaria mosquito, Anopheles gambiae s.l., on interacting predators and competitors in local ecosystems

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 33, Issue 1, Page 1-15, March 2019., 2019
Genetic control methods for anopheline mosquitoes may reduce their populations without direct effects on other species or the physical environment; indirect effects on predators or competitors may be of concern. The vast majority of Anopheles gambiae predators are broad generalists and consume many other insect species; there is no indication of a ...
