The methods used vary widely, largely because of differences in the local environments, characteristics of predominant vectors, and prior experience.
There were, however, significant differences between West African countries and Uganda in terms of the disease itself – the nature of the predominant vector - and the health service structure.
In the Venezuelan Amazon, both P. vivax and P. falciparum are transmitted by the predominant vector species, Anopheles darlingi, and an interruption of transmission would affect both parasite species equally.
53 Anopheles darlingi is the predominant vector in study sites near Iquitos, Peru, and near Acre, western Brazil, in this ICEMR.
Glossina fuscipes fuscipes is the predominant vector of HAT within the study area, and its preferred habitat consists of riverine vegetation.
Vector driven spread patterns exhibit a degree of spatial structure, with distinct origin points and elongate shapes resulting from the predominant vector trajectory.
To the Editor: The Ixodes ricinus tick is a predominant vector of a large variety of pathogens of veterinary and medical consequence in Europe (1 ).
Anopheles culicifacies, a predominant vector of malaria in India exists as a complex of five sibling species A, B, C, D and E, of which, except species B, all the rest are vectors with varying vectorial capacities.
For these PICTs, the predominant vector species are Aedes polynesiensis (Cook Islands, Samoa), Ae. cooki (Niue), Ae. tabu (Tonga), Ae. oceanicus (Samoa, Tonga) and Anopheles farauti (Vanuatu) [ 12].
Cx. tarsalis, 1 of the most efficient WNV vectors evaluated in laboratory studies, was the predominant vector west of the Mississippi River (CDC, unpub. data) (26).
