Bionomics of Anopheles fluviatilis and Anopheles culicifacies (Diptera: Culicidae) in Relation to Malaria Transmission in East-Central India
The southern districts of Odisha State in east-central India have been highly endemic for falciparum malaria for many decades. However, there is no adequate information on the abundance of the vector species or their bionomics in relation to space and time in these districts. Therefore, a study was carried out on the entomological aspects of malaria transmission to generate such information. Co...
متن کاملCharacterization of the 3-HKT gene in important malaria vectors in India, viz: Anopheles culicifacies and Anopheles stephensi (Diptera: Culicidae).
The 3-hydroxykynurenine transaminase (3-HKT) gene plays a vital role in the development of malaria parasites by participating in the synthesis of xanthurenic acid, which is involved in the exflagellation of microgametocytes in the midgut of malaria vector species. The 3-HKT enzyme is involved in the tryptophan metabolism of Anophelines. The gene had been studied in the important global malaria ...
متن کاملSeasonal prevalence & resting behaviour of Anopheles minimus Theobald & An. fluviatilis James (Diptera: Culicidae) in east-central India
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Anopheles minimus has recently been reported to have re-appeared in Keonjhar district of Orissa after a period of about 45 years of launching the malaria eradication programme. An. minimus and An. fluviatilis were the incriminated major malaria vectors in the district, endemic for falciparum malaria. The information on seasonal prevalence and resting behaviour of the vec...
متن کاملLife table analysis of Anopheles gambiae (diptera: culicidae) in relation to malaria transmission.
Malaria continues to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the tropics several years after the World Health Organization’s roll back malaria (RBM) initiative. The disease is responsible for an estimated one million deaths per year, mainly in pregnant women and young children under the age of five, in Africa1. In Nigeria, malaria accounts for 40–50% outpatient hospital visits, and estim...
متن کاملCharacterization of ITS2 rDNA of Anopheles philippinensis and Anopheles nivipes (Diptera: Culicidae) from north-east India.
Anopheles (Cellia) philippinensis Ludlow and Anopheles (Cellia) nivipes (Theobald) are two closely related, morphologically very similar, mosquito species in the Annularis group, which play a supportive role in malaria transmission in north-east India. We amplified and performed sequence analysis for the internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) locus of ribosomal DNA (rDNA) gene of morphologically ...
