Anopheles neivai (Diptera: Culicidae) Morphogenetic Analysis from the Pacific Coast to the Premontane Humid Forest of Colombia

Taxonomy
In specific altitude ranges, biotic and abiotic factors can impact vector mosquitoes’ adaptation capacity, affecting their population differentiation. This study analyses if there exist morphological and genetic differences in four Anopheles (Kerteszia ...

Use of DNA barcoding to distinguish the malaria vector Anopheles neivai in Colombia. [PDF]

Zootaxa, 2016
A reference 535 bp barcode sequence from a fragment of the mitochondrial gene cytochrome oxidase I (COI), acquired from specimens of An. neivai Howard, Dyar & Knab, 1913 from its type locality in Panama, was used as a tool for distinguishing this species from others in the subgenus Kerteszia. Comparisons with corresponding regions of COI between An.

Increasing role of Anopheles funestus and Anopheles arabiensis in malaria transmission in the Kilombero Valley, Tanzania [PDF]

, 2014
In order to sustain the gains achieved by current malaria control strategies, robust surveillance systems that monitor dynamics of vectors and their roles in malaria transmission over time are essential. This longitudinal study demonstrates the trends in

Unexpected anthropophagic behaviour in Anopheles quadriannulatus. [PDF]

, 2001
The strongly anthropophilic behaviour of Anopheles gambiae Giles sensu stricto (Diptera: Culicidae), the most important malaria vector in Africa, has been demonstrated by field and laboratory studies. Other members of the An.

Status of insecticide susceptibility in Anopheles gambiae s.l. from malaria surveillance sites in The Gambia. [PDF]

, 2009
BACKGROUND: Vector control is an effective way of reducing malaria transmission. The main vector control methods include the use of insecticide-treated bed nets and indoor residual spraying (IRS).

Intraspecific phylogeny of Anopheles (Kerteszia) neivai Howard, Dyar & Knab 1913, based on mitochondrial and nuclear ribosomal genes

Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2019
Three mitochondrial regions and a fragment of a large nuclear ribosomal subunit was used to study the evolutionary patterns of An. neivai, a mosquito inhabiting mangroves and tropical forest in the lowland and coastal areas of the Yucatan Peninsula through the Pacific Ecuadorian coast.

Ecological Niche Modeling of Seventeen Sandflies Species (Diptera, Psychodidae, Phlebotominae) from Venezuela

International Journal of Zoology, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
The purpose of this study is to create distribution models of seventeen Lutzomyia species in Venezuela. Presence records were obtained from field collections over 30 years by several research teams. We used maximum entropy method for model construction based on 30 arc‐second resolution environmental layers: 19 bioclimatic variables, elevation, and land

Malaria vector species in Colombia: a review

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2011
Here we present a comprehensive review of the literature on the vectorial importance of the major Anopheles malaria vectors in Colombia. We provide basic information on the geographical distribution, altitudinal range, immature habitats, adult behaviour,

Variación fenotípica de la población de Anopheles (K.) neivai (Diptera: Culicidae) en la costa pacífica de Colombia

Colombia Medica, 1987
Entre los años 1984 y 1985 se colectaron larvas y mosquitos de Anopheles (Kerteszia) en diferentes localidades de la costa del Pacífico colombiano: El Trueno, Concherito y Santa Cruz, en el Rio Naya; Juanchaco y Ladrilleros, en el Departamento del Valle del Cauca; y Charambirá, en el Departamento del Chocó.
