Vector incrimination studies were conducted from April 2003 to February 2005 at three riverine villages 1.5 km to 7.0 km apart, along the Matapi River, Amapa State, Brazil. A total of 113,117 mosquitoes were collected and placed in pools of <or=7 mosquitoes (19,883 pools) and tested for species-specific circumsporozoite protein (CSP) of P. falciparum, P. vivax VK210, and P. vivax VK247 using the enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA). A subset of 63,330 mosquitoes (12,191 pools) was tested for P. malariae. Anopheles darlingi and An. marajoara had the highest proportion of circumsporozoite protein positives for human malaria parasites compared with An. nuneztovari, An. triannulatus, and An. intermedius. Anopheles darlingi and An. marajoara had the highest entomological inoculation rates (EIR) and were considered to be the most important malaria vectors in the study. Anopheles nuneztovari was also an important vector. Differences in entomological inoculation rates were more dependent on mosquito abundance than on sporozoite rates.
2003年4月至2005年2月期间,在巴西阿马帕州马塔皮河沿岸相距1.5公里至7.0公里的三个河边村庄开展了媒介判定研究。共采集了113,117只蚊子,将其分成每池最多7只蚊子的样本(共19,883个样本池),并使用酶联免疫吸附测定法(ELISA)检测恶性疟原虫、间日疟原虫VK210和间日疟原虫VK247的种特异性环子孢子蛋白(CSP)。对63,330只蚊子的一个子集(12,191个样本池)检测了三日疟原虫。与努内斯按蚊、三带按蚊和中间按蚊相比,达林按蚊和马拉若按蚊的人体疟原虫环子孢子蛋白阳性比例最高。达林按蚊和马拉若按蚊的昆虫学接种率(EIR)最高,被认为是该研究中最重要的疟疾传播媒介。努内斯按蚊也是一种重要的传播媒介。昆虫学接种率的差异更多地取决于蚊子的数量,而非子孢子率。
