Plasmodium falciparum: The population structure of mature gametocyte cultures has little effect on their innate fertility
(Elsevier BV, 1994)
In vitro cultured Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes were fed to Anopheles gambiae (G3) mosquitoes to identify parasite population characteristics useful for predicting successful mosquito infections. Parameters were collected ...
Exflagellation responses of cultured Plasmodium falciparum (Haemosporida: Plasmodiidae) gametocytes to human sera and midguts of anopheline mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae)
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 1994)
The process of exflagellation was quantified for cultured Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes exposed to human sera and midgut homogenates from six vector species of Anopheles mosquitoes. Neither serum factors related to ...
Waveforms from stylet probing of the mosquito Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) measured by AC-DC electropenetrography
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2020)
Electropenetrography (EPG) has been used for many years to visualize unseen stylet probing behaviors of plant-feeding piercing-sucking insects, primarily hemipterans. Yet, EPG has not been extensively used with blood-feeding ...
Neglected tropical diseases of Namibia: Unsolved mysteries
(Elsevier BV, 2012-09-21)
Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are diseases most commonly found in settings of poverty and are responsible for the morbidity and/or mortality of millions each year. As an upper-middle income country, Namibia is not ...
Differences in mosquito communities in six cities in Oklahoma
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2019-04-05)
Vector-borne diseases in the United States have recently increased as a result of the changing nature of vectors, hosts, reservoirs, pathogens, and the ecological and environmental conditions. Current information on vector ...
Mosquito-borne parasites in the Great Plains: Searching for vectors of nematodes and avian malaria parasites
(Elsevier BV, 2021)
Vector-borne diseases in the United States have recently increased as a result of the changing nature of vectors, hosts, reservoirs, parasite/pathogens, and the ecological and environmental conditions. While most focus has ...
Ingestion of Plasmodium falciparum sporozoites during transmission by anopheline mosquitoes
(American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1992)
We investigated the process of sporozoite transmission during blood feeding for Anopheles gambiae and An. stephensi experimentally infected with Plasmodium falciparum. When infective mosquitoes were fed 22-25 days postinfection ...
