[The specific features of the development of the malaria mosquitoes Anopheles superpictus (Grassi 1899) in Tajikistan].

In Tajikistan, the mosquitoes Anopheles superpictus (Grassi 1899) are one of the major malaria vectors. The basic habitats are the mountain and submountain landscapes of an area where this species is reckoned among the most dangerous carriers of the disease. The malaria control tactic should be determined by the species of a vector and the specific features of a protected contingent, by improving the sanitary education of people and environmental sanitation.

[Efficiency of KAT-quick P.f. test (KAT medical, SAR) among the populations of drug-resistant parasites].

The KAT-Quick P.f. test (KAT Medical, South African Republic) is based on the detection of protein HPR II produced by trophozoites and young gametocytes of P.

[Efficiency and specificity of the KAT-test for rapid diagnosis of falciparum malaria].

A new rapid KAT Quick Malaria test for the diagnosis of falciparum malaria, which is based on the detection of a monoclonal antibody-antigen complex of malaria parasites, has been worked out by the KAT Medical CC in South Africa. The efficiency and specificity of the KAT test were compared with those of the microscopic method and with the ICT test for rapid diagnosis of P. falciparum and P.
