Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax circumsporozoite proteins in anophelines (Diptera: Culicidae) collected in Eastern Thailand

In total, 414 anophelines, consisting of Anopheles karwari (James), An. splendidus Koidzumi, An. dirus Peyton and Harrison, and An. barbirostris Van der Wulp were collected in 2 provinces in eastern Thailand and tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the presence of circumsporozoite protein...

Description
Summary:In total, 414 anophelines, consisting of Anopheles karwari (James), An. splendidus Koidzumi, An. dirus Peyton and Harrison, and An. barbirostris Van der Wulp were collected in 2 provinces in eastern Thailand and tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the presence of circumsporozoite proteins. Plasmodium vivax CS protein was detected in 3.4% (2/54) of An. karwari and 4.8% (2/42) of An. barbirostris specimens. Both P. vivax phenotypes, Pv247 and Pv210, were found in An. karwari, whereas only Pv247 was detected in An. barbirostris. Plasmodium falciparum CS protein was detected only in 0.3% (1/276) of An. dirus. Results indicate that An. barbirostris may play a role in the transmission of P. vivax in Chanthaburi Province, Thailand.
