- W2087979423 abstract "The ability of vector mosquitoes to transmit the microfilariae (mff) of Wuchereria bancrofti, especially when the levels of microfilaraemia in the humans on which the mosquitoes are feeding are very low, is very important for understanding the transmission dynamics of lymphatic filariasis. Data on the correlation between vector competence and the microfilarial load in the human host are also relevant to those trying to improve transmission models for this disease. The majority of the relevant studies have involved culicine rather than anopheline vectors. The competence of populations of Anopheles mosquitoes to transmit W. bancrofti in a district in the Upper East region of Ghana has now been investigated. The wild mosquitoes that fed on 20 volunteers under natural conditions were collected hourly during the night, from 21.00 hours on one day to 06.00 hours on the next. Overall, 1348 fed female mosquitoes — 665 Anopheles, 662 Culex and 21 Aedes — were collected. Approximately 50% of the mosquitoes caught were killed immediately post-collection and dissected so that the number of W. bancrofti mff each had ingested could be counted. The remaining mosquitoes where dissected when they died (if this was within 12 days of collection) or when they were killed on day 12 post-collection. With the exception of one Culex mosquito that harboured one microfilaria, none of the Culex and Aedes mosquitoes were found infected with W. bancrofti. All of the other mosquitoes found infected were An. gambiae s.l. or An. funestus. When fingerprick samples of blood, collected hourly from the volunteers during the mosquito infection, were used to estimate the microfilaraemias in the blood on which these mosquitoes had fed, microfilarial uptake and the number of developing larvae were found to vary considerably even when the microfilaraemias in the bloodmeal source were similar. The results of a regression analysis on the pooled data for the Anopheles mosquitoes indicated the process of limitation, although larger samples need to be investigated to determine whether this process occurs only in An. gambiae s.l. or An. funestus or in both of these taxa." @default.
