Anopheles Gambia

Anopheles gambiae is a species of blood-sucking mosquito that transmits malaria and wuchereriosis. This mosquito species is widespread in Africa, especially in the western and central parts of the continent. Malaria and wuchereriosis are serious diseases that can lead to death if not treated promptly.

Anopheles gambiae is known for its ability to transmit malaria and wuchereriosis. These diseases are caused by parasitic protozoans that are transmitted through mosquito bites. In the case of malaria, the Plasmodium falciparum parasite is transmitted from mosquito to person, causing symptoms such as fever, headache and fatigue. In Wuchereriasis, the parasite Wuchereria bancrofti is transmitted from a mosquito to an animal, causing symptoms such as swollen lymph nodes and joint pain.

Mosquito control and control measures must be taken to combat these diseases. For example, using insecticides to kill mosquitoes can help reduce disease transmission. It is also important to prevent malaria in people living in regions where these diseases are common.

Malaria in humans is caused by the parasite Plasmodium parasite and transmitted by female bloodsucking insects that include Anopheles mosquitoes and Culex mosquitoes. Typically, only about 2% of infected Anopheles females transmit malaria to humans, but approximately 30% of Culex are capable of doing so. Several species of Anopheles (genus Anopheles) have been implicated in the transmission of human malaria parasites.

Anopheles species account for over 85% of malaria transmission in the world. Anopheles is the singular species causing most malaria in sub-Saharan Africa and 50% of all malaria cases in Africa. The primary source of malaria spread across Africa, Asia, Australia, and Oceania is principally due to Anopheles-transmitted Plasmodia: 32 principal anopheline species are responsible for more than 90 percent of the 203 malarial species known, infecting humans in 140 countries where no insecticide resistance has yet been recorded.
