In recent years, malaria is located in southeastern Anatolia of Turkey. Because of no information is available about sporozoite rates in the mosquitoes in Turkey, Anopheles (An.) sacharovi were collected in Sanliurfa province and examined by the VecTestTM Malaria Antigen Panel Assay , a rapid immunochromatographic assay intended for the qualitative determination of three Plasmodium circumsporoz...

biological research of all kinds on mosquitoes must be built upon a foundation of correct identification and sound classification. except for the anopheline vectors of malaria, relatively little is known about other mosquitoes in iran and other countries in southwest asia. in view of this a comprehensive study on the mosquito fauna of iran has started since 1981. in this report the list of the ...

Anopheline mosquitoes are the primary vectors of parasites in the genus Plasmodium, the causative agents of malaria. Malaria parasites undergo a series of complex transformations upon ingestion by the mosquito host. During this process, the physical barrier of the midgut epithelium, along with innate immune defenses, functionally restrict parasite development. Although these defenses have been ...

BACKGROUND The indoor residual spraying programme for malaria vectors control was implemented in four districts of the Lake Victoria basin of Tanzania namely Ukerewe, Sengerema, Rorya andSerengeti. Entomological monitoring activities were implemented in one sentinel village in each district to evaluate the efficacy of pirimiphos-methyl 300 CS sprayed on different wall surfaces and its impact ag...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Over two decades of civil unrest and the conflict situation have had detrimental effects on vector control activities and management of malaria in Jaffna district which is an endemic region for malaria in Sri Lanka. With the background that only a few small-scale studies on malaria and its vectors have been reported from this district, a study was designed to explore the...
