A targeted amplicon sequencing panel to simultaneously identify mosquito species and Plasmodium presence across the entire Anopheles genus

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 22, Issue 1, Page 28-44, January 2022., 2022
Abstract Anopheles is a diverse genus of mosquitoes comprising over 500 described species, including all known human malaria vectors. While a limited number of key vector species have been studied in detail, the goal of malaria elimination calls for surveillance of all potential vector species. Here, we develop a multilocus amplicon sequencing approach

Characterization of larval habitats of Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus) darlingi and associated species in malaria areas in western Brazilian Amazon. [PDF]

Mem Inst Oswaldo Cruz
BACKGROUND Anopheles darlingi is the most efficient vector of malaria parasites in the Neotropics. Nevertheless, the specificities of its larval habitats are still poorly known.

Asymptomatic Plasmodium vivax malaria in the Brazilian Amazon: Submicroscopic parasitemic blood infects Nyssorhynchus darlingi

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2021
Individuals with asymptomatic infection due to Plasmodium vivax are posited to be important reservoirs of malaria transmission in endemic regions. Here we studied a cohort of P. vivax malaria patients in a suburban area in the Brazilian Amazon. Overall 1,

Ecology and larval population dynamics of the primary malaria vector Nyssorhynchus darlingi in a high transmission setting dominated by fish farming in western Amazonian Brazil

PLoS ONE, 2021
Vale do Rio Juruá in western Acre, Brazil, is a persistent malaria transmission hotspot partly due to fish farming development that was encouraged to improve local standards of living.

Occurrence of Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus) rangeli (Gabaldon et al) and Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus) evansae (Brethes) (Diptera: Culicidae) in an Eutrophized Dam [PDF]

Neotropical Entomology, 2010
This is the first record of immature stages of species belonging to the subgenus Nyssorhynchus (Blanchard) in eutrophized breeding habitats. Larvae of Anopheles (Nys.) evansae (Brethes), Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus) rangeli (Gabaldon et al), Culex nigripalpus (Theobald) and Culex quinquefasciatus (Say) (Diptera: Culicidae) were collected in a rural ...

What is Anopheles Allopha (Lutz & Peryassú, 1921) (Diptera: Culicidae)?

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1984
We regard Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus) allpha (Lutz & Peryassú, 1921) as a nomen nudum in view of the ambiguities in its original description, as explained in this note.Consideramos Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus) allopha (Lutz & Peryassú, 1921) como nomen nudum ...

Systematics of the Oswaldoi Complex (Anopheles, Nyssorhynchus) in South America [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2013
El control efectivo de la malaria se basa en la identificación precisa de los mosquitos Anopheles responsables de la transmisión de los parásitos Plasmodium. Anopheles oswaldoi s.l. ha sido incriminado como vector de malaria en Colombia y algunas localidades de Brasil, pero no de forma ubicua en todo su rango neotropical.
