Infecção do Anopheles (Kerteszia) cruzii por Plasmodium vivax e Plasmodium vivax variante VK247 nos Municípios de São Vicente e Juquitiba, São Paulo

Isoenzimatic analysis of four Anopheles (Kerteszia) cruzii (Diptera: Culicidae) populations of Brazil

“…Currently An. cruzii is involved in the maintenance of several species of human and simian malaria that occurs in the valleys of the Atlantic Coastal Rain Forest in both states Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo (Carvalho et al 1988, Azevedo 1997, Branquinho et al 1997. In addition, this species is a vector of the simian malarias in Brazil (Deane 1986).…”

The genetic diversity of Plasmodium vivax: a review

“…albimanus mosquitoes to infections by the VK210 and VK247 genotypes, respectively. The VK247 genotype also was detected in anophelines originating from the states of São Paulo (Branquinho et al 1997) and Acre (Marrelli et al 1998). These findings could be a consequence of differences in the emergence of this genotype in specific geographical regions or suggest that the VK210 genotype is the best adapted variant in the world (Machado & Póvoa 2000).…”

Role of Anopheles (Kerteszia) bellator as malaria vector in Southeastern Brazil (Diptera: Culicidae)

“…cruzii that specifically is charged with the maintenance of hypoendemic malaria in the Atlantic Rain Forest region of the State of São Paulo (Carvalho et al 1988, Branquinho et al 1997). However, another local species, An.…”
