Rule-based system for the fast identification of species of Indian Anopheline mosquitoes

Health Bulletin, No. 16 (Malaria Bureau, No. 7). 'Synoptic Tables for the Identification of the Full-Grown Larvæ of the Indian Anopheline Mosquitoes'

Application of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for determination of the human blood index in anopheline mosquitoes collected in Iran.

The microplate method of an ELISA was modified for identification of human blood meals from 5,325 engorged mosquitoes belonging to 12 species of Anopheles captured in 19 provinces of Iran. Four hundred and four (7.5%) specimens reacted with the ELISA anti-human alkaline phosphatase conjugate. The human blood index in nine species of Anopheles varied from 3.6 to 23.7%. The results of this field ...

Relationship between Anopheles fluviatilis & A. stephensi (Diptera: Culicidae) catches & the prevalence of malaria cases at Kalsi area in Dehradun district (Uttaranchal).

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Though the relationship between mosquito density and transmission of malaria in different regions of the country is known, no studies are available on the relationship between mosquito catches and malaria cases in Kalsi area of Dehradun district in Uttaranchal. Hence, the present study was done to evaluate the role of anopheline mosquitoes catches and prevalence of malari...

Implicating Cryptic and Novel Anophelines as Malaria Vectors in Africa

Entomological indices and bionomic descriptions of malaria vectors are essential to accurately describe and understand malaria transmission and for the design and evaluation of appropriate control interventions. In order to correctly assign spatio-temporal distributions, behaviors and responses to interventions to particular anopheline species, identification of mosquitoes must be accurately ma...
