This section of AnoBase hosts the reprint collection of Dr. Mario Coluzzi, Professor of Parasitology at the University of Rome La Sapienza, who has made it available to us. This unique collection of papers is separated into different sub-sections divided in a)Culicidae (CUL), b) Anopheles (ANO), c) Anopheles gambiae (GAM), d) Malaria (MAL) and, finally, Coluzzis own publications (COL).

AnoBase initiates this project with approximately 100 pre-1985 papers from the GAM sub-section, ranging back to 1937. During the next 12 months we hope (but dont promise) to be able to store additional papers from all five subsections, and we hope to have transferred more than 1000 publications by the end of 2005. All the papers can be found as pdf files (see below).

Kitsos Louis is indebted to the Fondazione Cenci-Bolognetti and its Vice President (and dear friend) Prof. Paolo Costantino for the hospitality that made this reprint collection possible. Moreover, this operation would not have been possible if the second dear friend, Mario Coluzzi, had not embraced it, and agreed to make his collection publicly available to the research community through AnoBase. He also helped the project by providing secretarial assistance. On behalf of all Anopheles researchers, Mario, grazie tanto!

Technical info:

To reduce size, most of the papers have been scanned at a 100 dpi resolution in grayscale mode. Occasionally, a somewhat higher resolution was used, or individual pages were stored as bitmapped, or even coloured pictures. Where available, the abstract of the publication (in English only when bi-lingual) has been, or will be stored soon as a searchable text file in the database. In several cases where the publications did not include an abstract, the first paragraph of the paper has been stored instead. All abstracts or first paragraphs will be keyword-searchable, as is the entire bibliographical information.

The papers are downloadable without a fee as pdf files by clicking on the respective bibliographic reference. Be aware that due to the length of the publications some of these files are very big (several MB). To reduce their size, the files are only readable using Acrobat 6.0 or later
