Objective
Malaria transmission has been eradicated from southern European Russia and Siberia but the main mosquito vector Anopheles messeae still flourishes. Malaria parasites have been re-introduced by refugees from Afghanistan. There is therefore a threat of resurgence of malaria transmission, which may be enhanced by global warming.
Ecological studies of An. messeae and related species will be undertaken by cytogenetic methods. The main aim is to identify the types of site which produce most of the potential malaria vectors.
Studies on adult mosquitoes will include their survival and flight range, which are crucial to their vectorial capacity, and feasibility of control by anti-larval methods. Two species of bacteria now provide mosquito larval control with minimal impact on the environment. Russian and west European preparations of these bacteria will be studied in the laboratory and in the field. The impact of organic and industrial pollution on the persistence of the larval control will also be investigated.
