Prevent mosquito2
- By the end of this call we would like all of you to be able to describe when to suspect malaria, define preferred methods for malaria diagnosis, identify an optimal treatment regimen for an individual patient infected with malaria using available clinical and laboratory information, and to identify strategies to prevent mosquito transmitted malaria in the United States.

Genes3
- Hybridizations in situ show that the transcription products of the nanos orthologous genes of Anopheles gambiae (Anga nos), An. (ox.ac.uk)
- Using microarrays, we show that AgDNV has very minimal effect on the adult mosquito transcriptome, with only 4-15 genes differentially regulated depending on the statistical criteria imposed. (psu.edu)
- The researchers carried out interspecies gene comparisons with the Anopheles and other insects, to identify equivalent genes in each species and highlight potentially important differences. (sciencedaily.com)

Locally2
- In larger cities, where river flooding is not involved, most mosquitoes emerge locally. (unl.edu)
- Over the course of the Call, we will provide an update on the locally acquired mosquito transmitted malaria events in Florida and Texas, and share the epidemiology of imported malaria in the U.S., review malaria diagnoses and provide an overview of malaria treatment, briefly touch on malaria prevention, particularly among travelers, and share CDC resources to support malaria diagnosis and treatment.
