Studies of Comparative Infectivity of Fifteen Strains of Plasmodium vivax to Laboratory-Reared Anopheline Mosquitoes, with Special Reference to Anopheles culicifacies

Abstract
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.
