The susceptibility of Liberian Culex quinquefasciatus to Wuchereria bancrofti in Sri Lanka.

Abstract

Strains of Culex quinquefasciatus collected in Liberia showed low susceptibility to Wuchereria bancrofti from Liberian donors. However, when the same mosquito strains were fed on W. bancrofti donors from Sri Lanka they showed equally high susceptibility as Sri Lankan C. quinquefasciatus simultaneously fed on the same donors. A Liberian strain did not respond to selection for refractoriness. Thus the strains of W. bancrofti from Liberia and Sri Lanka differ in their ability to infect specific mosquito strains and it is concluded that Liberian C. quinquefasciatus could not provide genes for use in the construction of a refractory strain intended for the replacement of Sri Lankan vector populations.
