malaria has reemerged in northern borderline of iran after the collapse of former soviet :union:. there have been several reports of malaria epidemics in azerbaijan and ardebil provinces of iran. the anopheles maculipennis complex is assumed to play an important role in malaria transmission in these regions. for the first time in iran, a diagnostic character in 4th instar larvae, i.e. seta 2 (a...

Acoustic characteristics of three representatives of malaria mosquitoes of Palearctic complex Anopheles maculipennis: An. messeae, An. maculipennis s.s. and An. atroparvus were studied. It was found that the spectra of fundamental frequencies for males of all species is significantly higher than for females. An. atroparvus and An. maculipennis have close acoustic characteristics, which explains...

In 2009, 2589 mosquitoes were collected in northwest Italy and screened for orthobunyavirus RNA by RT-PCR. One pool of Anopheles maculipennis complex mosquitoes was found to be positive and a virus was isolated from that pool. The isolate was identified as Batai virus (BATV) by sequencing. Previously, BATV was detected in Italy, but limited data and no prior isolates existed. Full-length sequen...

Traditionally field and laboratory research about malaria vectors in Europe have been mainly focused on the species of the Anopheles maculipennis complex. However, although malaria is essentially a rural disease, potential urban vectors merit attention. Because only a few European Anopheles species can breed in urban environments, improving knowledge about their bioecology is necessary to imple...

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...

The midgut microbiota associated with Anopheles stephensi and Anopheles maculipennis (Diptera: Culicidae) was investigated for development of a paratransgenesis-based approach to control malaria transmission in Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR). Here, we present the results of a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and biochemical-based approaches to identify the female adult and larvae mosquitoe m...

Abstract Background The malaria mosquito Anopheles punctipennis , a widely distributed species in North America, is capable of transmitting human and actively involved the transmission ungulate parasite Plasmodium odocoilei . However, molecular diagnostic tools based on Internal Transcribed Spacer 2 (ITS2) ribosomal DNA are lacking for this species. former member maculipennis complex but its sy...

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...
