Behavioral patterns, parity rate and natural infection analysis in anopheline species involved in the transmission of malaria in the northeastern Brazilian Amazon region

We examined the behavioral patterns, parity rate and natural infection for Plasmodium spp. of the anopheline species sampled in the district of Coração, state of Amapá, Brazil, from December 2010 to November 2011. From the nine species registered, A. darlingi, A. braziliensis and A. marajoara were the most frequent and anthropophilic in the studied area.
