Anopheles freeborni mosquitoes with oocyst infections had salivary gland infections at a higher rate with strains of Plasmodium vivax from the New World than with strains from Asia, particularly those from South Vietnam. Anopheles maculatus mosquitoes supported development from oocysts to heavily infected salivary glands for all the strains of P. vivax tested. The results suggest that P. vivax introduced from Vietnam would be less likely to be transmitted by native A. freeborni mosquitoes than would malaria from some other areas.
