Noninfectious sporozoites in the salivary glands of a minimally susceptible anopheline mosquito
(American Society of Parasitologists, 1995-12)
In studies to evaluate vector-malaria parasite relationships, we have found that Anopheles albimanus is minimally susceptible to the rodent malaria parasite Plasmodium yoelii. Normally, less than 10% of A. albimanus develop ...
Molecular identification of Rickettsia typhi and R. felis in co-infected Ctenocephalides felis (Siphonaptera: Pulicidae)
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 1998)
Rickettsia typhi and R. felis, 2 closely related rickettsial species, often have been identified in cat fleas, Ctenocephalides felis (Bouche) from the same geographical location. However, no fleas have been found to be ...
Development of a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay for rapid screening of ticks and fleas for spotted fever group rickettsia
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2018-02-01)
Background: The importance of tick and flea-borne rickettsia infections is increasingly recognized worldwide. While increased focus has shifted in recent years to the development of point-of-care diagnostics for various ...
First detection of Rickettsia typhi and Rickettsia felis in fleas collected from client-owned companion animals in the southern Great Plains
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2017-03-25)
Flea-borne rickettsiosis occurs worldwide and includes a number of pathogens, namely, Rickettsia typhi and Rickettsia felis. Most studies in the United States have occurred in southern Texas and California where flea-borne ...
Plasmodium falciparum: Release of circumsporozoite protein by sporozoites in the mosquito vector
(Elsevier BV, 1992)
The release of circumsporozoite (CS) protein by Plasmodium falciparum sporozoites was investigated to identify factors regulating this process within infected Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes. The potential for sporozoites to ...
Population dynamics of Plasmodium falciparum sporogony in laboratory-infected Anopheles gambiae
(American Society of Parasitologists, 1992)
The population dynamics of cultured Plasmodium falciparum parasites was examined during their sporogonic development in Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes. Estimates of absolute densities were determined for each life stage, and ...
