Abstract
The susceptibilities to coindigenous Plasmodium. vivax of colonized Anophel es albimanus and Anopheles pseudopunctipennis from southern Mexico,were inv estigated by simultaneous feeding with infected blood obtained from patient s. The genes encoding circumsporozoite protein variant types (VK210 and VK2 47) in blood samples were determined by PCR and oligonucleotide probe hybri dization. A. albimanus was more susceptible to VK210, and A. pseudopunctipe nnis was more susceptible to VK247.
