pubmed:abstractText
Parasites present in blood samples of asymptomatic carriers and in the midgut of mosquitoes collected within a few days from the same households, have been analysed by PCR. A high prevalence (32%) of infected mosquitoes was observed and, in half of these, two parasite species were found simultaneously. The distribution of parasite species in the mosquito correlated with that found in the infected persons. Genotype patterns of Plasmodium falciparum populations were however found to be different in the two sets of samples. These results and the potential of PCR are discussed with reference to investigations of the dynamics of malaria transmission.
