A 2-site immunoradiometric assay (IRMA) was performed on the head and thorax of Anopheles culicifacies s.l. and An. pulcherrimus females, the 2 most common anopheline species in the District of Ghassreghand (Baluchistan, Iran), collected during the 2 peak malaria transmission seasons (May and September-October 1991). Positive IRMA results revealed the 2 species as potential vectors of malaria in this highly endemic district. This finding serves as the first report on natural infection of An. pulcherrimus in Iran and is the second on natural infection of An. culicifacies since the previous report of 1959.
在1991年两个疟疾传播高峰期（5月以及9 - 10月）采集的库氏按蚊复合组和美丽按蚊雌性成虫的头部和胸部进行了双位点免疫放射分析（IRMA）。库氏按蚊复合组和美丽按蚊是伊朗俾路支斯坦省加什雷汉德地区最常见的两种按蚊。IRMA阳性结果表明这两种按蚊是这个疟疾高度流行地区疟疾的潜在传播媒介。这一发现是关于伊朗美丽按蚊自然感染的首次报告，也是自1959年上次报告以来关于库氏按蚊复合组自然感染的第二次报告。
