Abstract

The susceptibility of Anopheles omorii to Plasmodium yoelli nigeriensis was compared with that of An. stephensi (BEECH strain). In paired feeding experiments, the BEECH strain of An. stephensi, selected as a reference, was fed simultaneously on the same mouse whenever An. omorii was fed. An. omorii was less susceptible than An. stephensi. However, An. omorii was much susceptible to P. y. nigeriensis than the other malaria vectors such as An. gambiae (16cSS strain), An. arabiensis (SENN strain), and An. dirus (BALM strain).
