Species composition of the Anopheles gambiae complex across eco-vegetational zones in Bayelsa State, Niger Delta region, Nigeria.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Correct vector identification is an important task in the planning and implementation of malaria vector control programmes. This study was designed to provide baseline information on the species composition and distribution of members of the Anopheles gambiae complex in three eco-vegetational zones in Bayelsa state, Nigeria. METHODS Adult mosquitoes were collected by p...
متن کاملUnderstanding Anopheles Diversity in Southeast Asia and Its Applications for Malaria Control
The need to understand diversity in Anopheles mosquitoes to win the fight against malaria first became apparent with the paradox of ‘anophelism without malaria’, as it became evident that there is a vast diversity of Anopheles species and that not all species transmit malaria [1]. For example, in Europe it was eventually deduced that the mosquito Anopheles maculipennis existed as a species comp...
متن کاملA Preliminary Report on a Morphological Character Distinguishing Important Malaria Vectors in the Anopheles gambiae Giles Complex in Southern Africa.
The efficient malaria vectors Anophezes gumbiae Giles and Anophezes mabiensis Patton are separated from the less efficient vectors Anophezes merus Diinitz and Anophezes qua&iannuZatus Theobald by means of the banding patterns on the hind legs of the adults. The specimens used are either wild adults, adults bred out from wild-caught larvae, or the progeny of wild females. All specimens are elect...
متن کاملThe complexity of the malaria vectorial system in Africa.
The malaria vectorial system in Africa is very complex. Five very efficient vector species transmit malaria: Anopheles gambiae, An. arabiensis, An. funestus, and the sometimes overlooked An. nili and An. moucheti. This paper focuses on morphological, behavioural and genetic differences observed among populations within each vector species. It emphasises that future strategies for controlling ve...
متن کاملAnopheles coluzzii and Anopheles amharicus, new members of the Anopheles gambiae complex.
Two new species within the Anopheles gambiae complex are here described and named. Based on molecular and bionomical evidence, the An. gambiae molecular "M form" is named Anopheles coluzzii Coetzee & Wilkerson sp. n., while the "S form" retains the nominotypical name Anopheles gambiae Giles. Anopheles quadriannulatus is retained for the southern African populations of this species, while the Et...
