Anopheles freeborni mosquitoes were much more heavily infected with the Santa Lucia strain of P. falciparum from coastal EL Salvador than were any of the other species tested. Of 5 strains of A. albimanus examined, the most heavily infected was the CA-109A and the least was the Melara, both of which come from coastal El Salvador. Of the exotic anophelines, A. maculatus was infected at a slightly higher level than was A. balabacensis balabacensis. The incidence of highly infected individual mosquitoes was greatest in the Panama-Escobal strain of A. albimanus from Panama; the incidence was lowest in the Melara strain from El Salvador. All strains of A. albimanus developed infected salivary glands, but the A. freeborni and A. maculatus mosquitoes appeared to develop infected glands more efficiently. Infection rates in A. freeborni mosquitoes were highest if mosquitoes were fed on Aotus trivirgatus monkeys between the 19th-25th days of patent gametocytemia.
