Abstract

Purpose

Anopheles gambiae is a vector of Plasmodium falciparum and Wuchereria bancrofti. Endosymbionts are reported to block development of various parasites in mosquitoes. Microsporidia was reported to affect the development of P. falciparum in mosquitoes. Data on such observation is limited in Nigeria.

Methods

Therefore, the prevalence of Microsporidia and its coinfection with W. bancrofti and P. falciparum in An. gambiae s.l was studied within Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria.

Results

Of the 912 mosquitoes sampled, 124 were An. gambiae s.l The midgut assessment of the Anopheles mosquitoes using light microscopy and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) showed a 12% prevalence of a mono microsporidia infection with no coinfection with either P. falciparum or W. bancrofti. Only 4.03% of the An. gambiae s.l. were found to be coinfected with P. falciparum and W. bancrofti while no mosquito harboured all the microorganisms

Conclusion

This data further supports the potential of Microsporidia as an antagonist for the development of pathogens in mosquitoes.

尼日利亚扎里亚Ahmadu Bello大学冈比亚按蚊中微孢子虫、恶性疟原虫和班氏乌氏杆菌可能共存的分析。

目的：冈比亚按蚊是恶性疟原虫和班氏乌氏杆菌的传播媒介。据报道，内共生体可以阻止蚊子体内各种寄生虫的发育。据报道，微孢子虫影响恶性疟原虫在蚊子中的发展。尼日利亚关于这种观察的数据有限。方法：对安徽省小孢子虫流行情况及与班氏瓦氏杆菌和恶性疟原虫合并感染情况进行调查。冈比亚s1在Zaria的Ahmadu Bello大学学习。结果：912只蚊中，安蚊124只；利用光镜和聚合酶链反应（PCR）对按蚊进行的中肠评估显示，单个微孢子虫感染的患病率为12%，未同时感染恶性疟原虫或班氏瓦氏体。只有4.03%的美国人。冈比亚虫与恶性疟原虫和班克罗夫特氏瓦虫共感染，但没有蚊子携带所有的微生物。结论：这一数据进一步支持了微孢子虫作为病原体在蚊子体内发展的拮抗剂的潜力。

期刊介绍： Acta Parasitologica is an international journal covering the latest advances in the subject. Acta Parasitologica publishes original papers on all aspects of parasitology and host-parasite relationships, including the latest discoveries in biochemical and molecular biology of parasites, their physiology, morphology, taxonomy and ecology, as well as original research papers on immunology, pathology, and epidemiology of parasitic diseases in the context of medical, veterinary and biological sciences. The journal also publishes short research notes, invited review articles, book reviews. The journal was founded in 1953 as "Acta Parasitologica Polonica" by the Polish Parasitological Society and since 1954 has been published by W. Stefanski Institute of Parasitology of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw. Since 1992 in has appeared as Acta Parasitologica in four issues per year.
