Studies of comparative infectivity of fifteen strains of Plasmodium vivax to laboratory-reared anopheline mosquitoes, with special reference to Anopheles culicifacies.
The Sattoki strain of species A of the taxon Anopheles culicifacies Giles was infected with 15 different strains of Plasmodium vivax from Asia, New Guinea, and Central and South America. A comparison of the relative infectivity indicated a marked variation for the different strains of P. vivax when compared to Anopheles freeborni mosquitoes.
