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.

Entomological survey in two communes with residual malaria transmission in Gia Lai Province in the central highlands of Vietnam

Malaria Journal, 2021
Background In 2018, the National Malaria Control Programme in Vietnam switched from prioritizing malaria control to elimination. However, with the ongoing elimination programme, there are still areas where residual malaria transmission persists ...

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).

Insecticide susceptibility tests on adults of Anopheles sinensis in Korea

The Korean Journal of Parasitology, 1967
The authors carried out two series of field test to determine the basic lines of DDT and Dieldrin susceptibility of Anopheles sinensis at Andong(1961) and Yoju(1962), where malaria endemicity is relatively high in Korea. Tests were performed in accordance with the standard method established by the World Health Oraganization(1960).

Experimental infection of Anopheles sinensis with Korean isolates of Plasmodium vivax [PDF]

The Korean Journal of Parasitology, 2001
The objectives of the present study were to (1) determine the susceptibility of Anopheles sinensis to Korean isolates of Plasmodium vivax, (2) establish a method to collect large quantities of P. vivax sporozoites for use as antigen in seroepidemiological studies, and (3) investigate the characteristics of Korean isolates of P.

Accuracy of the Kato-Katz method and formalin-ether concentration technique for the diagnosis of Clonorchis sinensis, and implication for assessing drug efficacy [PDF]

, 2013
Background: Clonorchiasis is a chronic neglected disease caused by a liver fluke, Clonorchis sinensis. Chemotherapy is the mainstay of control and treatment efficacy is usually determined by microscopic examination of fecal samples.
