Molecular Identification of Plasmodium species in Anopheline vector in Al Adwa village, Aswan Governorate, Egypt
Rasha Abd-Allah Meselhey;
Abstract
Mosquitoes are at the center of worldwide entomological research primarily because of their medical importance as vectors of dangerous diseases like malaria and arboviruses.
Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by Plasmodium parasites that are transmitted to humans through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. There are five species that cause malaria in humans, two of these species, P. falciparum and P. vivax, pose the greatest threat.
Malaria in Egypt dates since Pharaonic times, its prevalence has shown a steady decrease in most of the governorates by 1990.
As countries approach malaria elimination, enhanced surveillance systems can help ensure that every infection is detected, treated and reported to a national malaria registry. Patients diagnosed with malaria should be treated promptly with effective antimalarial medications to prevent onward transmission of the disease in the community. In some countries nearing elimination, a high proportion of cases are found among immigrant and mobile populations living in hard-to reach areas, often near international borders. Cases of the disease imported by visitors and immigrants must be identified and treated rapidly.
