[The relationship of the susceptibility of mosquitoes to the causative agents of malaria to their taxonomic position and the geographical origin of the interacting organisms].
The belonging of mosquitos to certain taxonomic group does not show a susceptibility to certain group of malaria parasites, but point out that this susceptibility should not be excluded off studies without preliminary checking. There is no correlation between taxonomic relations of mosquito species and their susceptibility to malaria parasites. Geographical isolation of microorganisms and insects does not guarantee an absence of susceptibility. A susceptibility is possible even in those cases, when a long coevolutionary process between organisms do not take place. Generally the susceptibility of mosquitos to exotic species or strains of Plasmodium is lower. Plasmodia are capable to adapt quickly to new vectors.
