Posibilidad de control inmunológico de vectores hematofagos de enfermedades humanas

Abstract

A preliminary study is presented hereby on the possibility to immunize experimental animals with an antigen derived from cellular components of the digestive tract of Anopheles albimanus so that feeding of the mosquito could result in cellular damage of the digestive tract, blocking in some way the infection with Plasmodium. The studies realized so far, showed that a fraction frorn the digestive tract elicit antibody synthesis in rabbits and that these fraccions are not homogeneus.
