A multi-detection assay for malaria transmitting mosquitoes.
The Anopheles gambiae species complex includes the major malaria transmitting mosquitoes in Africa. Because these species are of such medical importance, several traits are typically characterized using molecular assays to aid in epidemiological studies. These traits include species identification, insecticide resistance, parasite infection status, and host preference. Since populations of the ...
متن کاملInsecticide resistance in malaria-transmitting mosquitoes in Zimbabwe: a review
Malaria is a global public health problem, with about 3.2 billion people at risk of infection. The populations at risk mainly reside in Africa, Asia and America, with African populations accounting for the largest burden of the disease. In 2013, close to 198 million malaria cases were reported, leading to 584,000 deaths. Much (90 %) of the mortality rates were recorded from the World Health Org...
متن کاملUsing carnivorous plants to control malaria-transmitting mosquitoes
Malaria remains one of the major vector-borne diseases in the world. It is responsible for approximately one million deaths per year, mainly of children below the age of five, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa [1]. Mosquitoes of the genus Anopheles are the sole vectors of malaria in subSaharan Africa [2]. Current vector control methods are based on larvicide application in breeding sites, indo...
متن کاملA Low-Cost Microfluidic Chip for Rapid Genotyping of Malaria-Transmitting Mosquitoes
BACKGROUND Vector control is one of the most effective measures to prevent the transmission of malaria, a disease that causes over 600,000 deaths annually. Around 30-40 Anopheles mosquito species are natural vectors of malaria parasites. Some of these species cannot be morphologically distinguished, but have behavioral and ecological differences. Emblematic of this is the Anopheles gambiae spec...
متن کاملStopping Malaria in Mosquitoes
The development of quantum communication networks will require a source of single photons that can be generated on demand. McKeever et al. (p. 1992) report on a scheme in which a single cesium atom is trapped in an optical cavity. Coupling between the excited atom and the optical mode of the cavity allows single photons to be generated deterministically while strongly suppressing two-photon eve...
