Variation in vectorial capacity for human malaria among Anopheles mosquito species is determined by many factors, including behavior, immunity, and life history. To investigate the genomic basis of explore new avenues vector control, we sequenced genomes 16 anopheline from diverse locations spanning ~100 million years evolution. Comparative analyses show faster rates gene gain loss, elevated shuffling on X chromosome, more intron losses, relative to Drosophila. Some determinants capacity,...
Abstract A study of the distribution and ecology mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) in Ardebil Province northwestern Iran, with special reference to known dirofilariasis focus Meshkinshahr County, was carried out July‐August 2005 April‐October 2006. In total, 17 533 adult 3090 third‐ fourth‐instar larvae were collected on 14 occasions identified using morphological characters DNA sequence data. Twenty species belonging seven genera found: Anopheles claviger (Meigen), An. hyrcanus (Pallas),...
Using botanical insecticides as an alternative biocontrol technique for vector control is considered by some scientists.Chemical composition of the essential oil was analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). In addition, mosquito larvicidal activity leaf Cupressus arizonica investigated against fourth instar larvae laboratory-reared An. stephensi according to method World Health Organization.Of 46 constituents in oil, limonene (14.44%), umbellulone (13.25%) and α-pinene...
A study was done of the bionomics, insecticide susceptibility and irritability status Anopheles culicifacies in Sistan va Baluchestan province.Sampling performed to determine following parameters: species identification, seasonal activity, adult larval tests, anthropophily index sporozoite rate.An. adults were susceptible all tested pyrethroid insecticides.An. started appear indoors late May, showing 2 peaks June September.Fenitrothion, cyfluthrin permethrin had least irritancy effect DDT...
Shirvan district in north-eastern Islamic Republic of Iran is a new focus visceral leishmaniasis.This study aimed to identify the vector(s), parasite and species composition sand flies during July-September 2009 using polymerase chain reaction techniques.In all, 2088 were collected from 3 villages.Nine fly identified: Phlebotomus kandelakii (Shchurenkova), P. major (Annandale), halepensis (Theodor), papatasi (Scopoli), sergenti (Parrot), longidactus caucasicus (Marzinovsky), Sergentomyia...
Background: Natural plant products as larvicides could be considered desirable alternatives to synthetic chemical insecticides for vector management. This study was undertaken assess the mosquito larvicide activity of essential oil from fresh leaves Platycladus orientalis against two medically important species vectors. Methods: Essential extracted by hydrodistillation and analyzed with gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Fresh P. tree (500g) were collected in June 2014 Tehran,...
Abstract Anopheles stephensi is an efficient vector of malaria parasites in Iran. Despite its importance transmission, there a scarcity accurate predictive models rates development at different temperatures. A laboratory colony An. stephensi, collected from Bandar Abbas County, southern Iran, was established, and all developmental stages were maintained temperature-controlled incubators so that the water temperature set 5, 8, 10, 12.5, 14, 28, 38, 39.5, 42, 45(±0.2) °C for treatments until...
