Ecology and larval population dynamics of the primary malaria vector Nyssorhynchus darlingi in a high transmission setting dominated by fish farming in western Amazonian Brazil

Rufalco-Moutinho, Paulo; Moura Kadri, Samir; Peres Alonso, Diego; Moreno, Marta; Carrasco Escobar, Gabriel; Prussing, Catharine; Gamboa Vilela, Dionicia Baziliza; Vinetz, Joseph Michael; Mureb Sallum, Maria Anice; Conn, Jan E.; Martins Ribolla, Paulo Eduardo (Public Library of Science, 2021)

Vale do Rio Jurua in western Acre, Brazil, is a persistent malaria transmission hotspot partly due to fish farming development that was encouraged to improve local standards of living. Fish ponds can be productive breeding ...
High-accuracy detection of malaria vector larval habitats using drone-based multispectral imagery

Carrasco Escobar, Gabriel; Manrique, Edgar; Ruiz Cabrejos, Jorge; Saavedra Romero, Marlon Pierino; Alava, Freddy; Bickersmith, Sara; Prussing, Catharine; Vinetz, Joseph Michael; Conn, Jan E.; Moreno, Marta; Gamboa Vilela, Dionicia Baziliza (Public Library of Science, 2019)

Interest in larval source management (LSM) as an adjunct intervention to control and eliminate malaria transmission has recently increased mainly because long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spray ...
Higher risk of malaria transmission outdoors than indoors by Nyssorhynchus (AKA Anopheles) darlingi in riverine communities in the Peruvian Amazon

Saavedra, Marlos; Alava, Freddy; Prussing, Catharine; Bickersmith, Sara; Fernandez, Carlos; Guzman, Mitchael; Valderrama, Carlos; Carrasco, Gabriel; Vinetz, Joseph; Conn, Jan; Gamboa, Dionicia; Moreno, Marta (Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia, 2019)

Tiene como objetivo recopilar información de referencia sobre la bionomía de los vectores de la malaria y los factores de riesgo de transmisión de 4 sitios en un área de malaria hiperendémica.
Higher risk of malaria transmission outdoors than indoors by Nyssorhynchus darlingi in riverine communities in the Peruvian Amazon.

Saavedra Romero, Marlon Pierino; Conn, Jan E.; Alava, Freddy; Carrasco Escobar, Gabriel; Prussing, Catharine; Bickersmith, Sara A.; Sangama, Jorge L.; Fernandez-Minope, Carlos; Guzman Guzman, Mitchel Anthony; Tong, Carlos; Valderrama, Carlos; Vinetz, Joseph Michael; Gamboa Vilela, Dionicia Baziliza; Moreno, Marta (BioMed Central, 2019)

BACKGROUND: Malaria remains an important public health problem in Peru where incidence has been increasing since 2011. Of over 55,000 cases reported in 2017, Plasmodium vivax was the predominant species (76%), with P. ...
Integrating Parasitological and Entomological Observations to Understand Malaria Transmission in Riverine Villages in the Peruvian Amazon.

Rosas-Aguirre, Angel; Moreno, Marta; Moreno-Gutierrez, Diamantina; Llanos Cuentas, Elmer Alejandro; Saavedra Romero, Marlon Pierino; Contreras-Mancilla, Juan; Barboza, Jose; Alava, Freddy; Aguirre, Kristhian; Carrasco Escobar, Gabriel; Prussing, Catharine; Vinetz, Joseph Michael; Conn, Jan E.; Speybroeck, Niko; Gamboa Vilela, Dionicia Baziliza (Oxford University Press, 2021)

BACKGROUND: Remote rural riverine villages account for most of the reported malaria cases in the Peruvian Amazon. As transmission decreases due to intensive standard control efforts, malaria strategies in these villages ...
Intensive trapping of blood-fed Anopheles darlingi in Amazonian Peru reveals unexpectedly high proportions of avian blood-meals

Moreno, Marta; Saavedra Romero, Marlon Pierino; Bickersmith, Sara A.; Prussing, Catharine; Michalski, Adrian; Tong Rios, Carlos; Vinetz, Joseph Michael; Conn, Jan E. (Public Library of Science, 2017)

Anopheles darlingi, the main malaria vector in the Neotropics, has been considered to be highly anthropophilic. However, many behavioral aspects of this species remain unknown, such as the range of blood-meal sources. ...
Malaria vector species in amazonian Peru co-occur in larval habitats but have distinct larval microbial communities

Prussing, Catharine; Saavedra Romero, Marlon Pierino; Bickersmith, Sara A.; Alava, Freddy; Guzman Guzman, Mitchel Anthony; Manrique, Edgar; Carrasco Escobar, Gabriel; Moreno, Marta; Gamboa Vilela, Dionicia Baziliza; Vinetz, Joseph Michael; Conn, Jan E. (Public Library of Science, 2019)

In Amazonian Peru, the primary malaria vector, Nyssorhynchus darlingi (formerly Anopheles darlingi), is difficult to target using standard vector control methods because it mainly feeds and rests outdoors. Larval source ...
Nyssorhynchus dunhami: bionomics and natural infection by Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax in the Peruvian Amazon

Prussing, Catharine; Bickersmith, Sara A.; Moreno, Marta; Saavedra Romero, Marlon Pierino; Alava, Freddy; Sallum, Maria Anice Mureb; Gamboa Vilela, Dionicia Baziliza; Vinetz, Joseph Michael; Conn, Jan E. (Fundacao Oswaldo Cruz, 2018)

BACKGROUND: Nyssorhynchus dunhami, a member of the Nuneztovari Complex, has been collected in Brazil, Colombia, and Peru and described as zoophilic. Although to date Ny. dunhami has not been documented to be naturally ...
