In a study on the comparative susceptibility of Anopheles kleini, An. lesteri, and An. sinensis to Plasmodium vivax, we examined the feeding of laboratory-reared mosquitoes on blood of a patient carrying gametocytes from the Republic of Korea. Sporozoites in salivary glands from day 14 postfeeding were detected in An. kleini and An. lesteri with numbers high enough to initiate infection, while no sporozoites were detected in the salivary glands of An. sinensis. This result suggests that An. kleini and An. lesteri could be vivax malaria vectors in the Republic of Korea.
在一项关于克莱氏按蚊、雷氏按蚊和中华按蚊对间日疟原虫的比较易感性研究中,我们检测了实验室饲养的蚊子吸食来自韩国一名携带配子体患者血液的情况。喂食后第14天,在克莱氏按蚊和雷氏按蚊的唾液腺中检测到子孢子,其数量足以引发感染,而在中华按蚊的唾液腺中未检测到子孢子。这一结果表明,克莱氏按蚊和雷氏按蚊可能是韩国间日疟的传播媒介。
