a series of ddt irritability tests with adult a. maculipennis typicus and a. superpictus were carried out in the isfahan area in august-september, 1970. the observations on irritability were measured in accordance with the who method arid the natural populations of anopheline mosquitoes were used. the tests were carried out in a light intensity of approximately 8 foot candles. the engorged mosq...

1Department of Medical Entomology and Vector Control, School of Public Health and Institute of Health Research, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Islamic Republic of Iran. ABSTRACT A diagnostic polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay using species-specific primers and direct sequencing was used to identify members of the Anopheles maculipennis complex in the north-west and central re...

background and purpose: islamic republic of iran has greatly reduced its malaria burden and has a national goal to eliminate malaria by 2025. the aim of this study was to determine the population dynamics of anopheles maculipennis sensu lato, in relation to probable malaria transmission. for this purpose, the study was conducted in three villages in isfahan province of iran, from april to march...

The aim of this communication was to establish if Enterobacterales associated with gulls in Argentina harbored antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes. We analyzed cloacal swabs two contrasting areas: Ensenada, Buenos Aires province (26 Larus dominicanus and 22 Chroicocephalus maculipennis) Puerto Madryn, Chubut (20 L. dominicanus). In bla CTX-M mcr-1 genes, were isolated from both gull species, w...

where the biting rate, mortality hazard (hence daily survival probability) and duration of the sporogonic cycle depend on temperature T (see Supplemental Material, Table 1) (Martens 1998) and all other parameters are defined in Supplemental Material, Table 2 (with baseline numerical values in Supplemental Material, Table 3). Vector parameters are estimated for Anopheles maculipennis (Martens 19...

Characteristics of mosquito larval habitats are important in determining whether they can survive and successfully complete their developmental stages. Therefore, data on the ecological factors affecting mosquito density and abundance especially the physicochemical properties of water of their breeding sites, can possibly be helpful in implementing larval management programs. Mosquito larvae we...
