Factors affecting membrane feeding of Anopheles stephensi.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The impact of optimal temperature, osmotic pressure, and diet viscosity on the number of mosquitoes (Anopheles stephensi) feeding through a membrane, and on the size of the blood meal, was evaluated. An increase in diet viscosity decreased the number of imbibing mosquitoes, reduced the size of the ingested meal, and resulted in a slower rate of weight loss after feeding. The possible effect of these factors on the vectorial efficiency of mosquitoes is discussed.

Mass rearing of anopheles stephensi on human blood by artificial feeding under laboratory conditions
Introduction: In order to control the diseases that are transmitted to human and animal by arthropod vectors, it is necessary to investigate vectors and to recognize control methods as well. These studies are applicable by rearing the colonies of arthropod blood-feeders like malaria and leishmaniasis in laboratory. The purpose of this study was to produce mass production of Anopheles stephens...

Background and purpose: Insecticide resistance in mosquitoes particularly malaia may lead to reemergence of malaria epidemics. This study aimed to investigate the effect of oral and intramuscular administration of ivermectin on guinea pigs exposed to Anopheles stephensi mosquitoes, the main malaria vector. Materials and methods: The effect of ivermectin was studied in oral and intramuscular ad...

Animal models are often used to study hematophagous insect feeding behavior and evaluate products such as topical repellents. However, when these models are used the study animals often experience significant drops in core body temperature because of the effects of anesthesia. This study used a guinea pig model to investigate whether maintaining a normothermic core body temperature during anest...

Background & Aims: Anopheles stephensi is one of the most important malaria vectors in Hormozgan province, southern Iran. This species with high density has an effective role in malaria transmission, especially in plain and coastal areas. At present, the country malaria vector control program in areas with local transmission is using deltamethrin 5% and Bacillus thuringiensis as insecticide ...

Anopheles mosquito midgut harbors a diverse group of endogenous bacteria that grow extensively after the blood feeding and help in food digestion and nutrition in many ways. Although, the growth of endogenous bacteria is regulated by various factors, however, the robust antibacterial immune reactions are generally suppressed in this body compartment by a heme peroxidase HPX15 crosslinked mucins...
