Artificial intelligence‐powered microscopy: Transforming the landscape of parasitology

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Microscopy and image analysis play a vital role in parasitology research; they are critical for identifying parasitic organisms and elucidating their complex life cycles. Despite major advancements in imaging and analysis, several challenges remain. These include the integration of interdisciplinary data; information derived from various model

Cis-regulatory CYP6P9b P450 variants associated with loss of insecticide-treated bed net efficacy against Anopheles funestus

Nature Communications, 2019
Elucidating the genetic basis of metabolic resistance to insecticides in malaria vectors is crucial to prolonging the effectiveness of insecticide-based control tools including long lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs).

Anopheles bionomics, insecticide resistance and malaria transmission in southwest Burkina Faso: A pre-intervention study

PLoS ONE, 2020
Background Twenty-seven villages were selected in southwest Burkina Faso to implement new vector control strategies in addition to long lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) through a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT).

Characterization of larval habitats of Anopheles albimanus, Anopheles pseudopunctipennis, Anopheles punctimacula, and Anopheles oswaldoi s.l. populations in lowland and highland Ecuador [PDF]

Journal of Vector Ecology, 2012
Recent collection data indicate that at least four potential malaria vectors occupy more widespread distributions within the Andean highlands than in the past. Since habitat elimination is an important aspect of malaria control, it is vital to characterize larval habitats for Anopheles species within both lowland and highland sites.

Traction force generation in Plasmodium sporozoites is modulated by a surface adhesin

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Plasmodium sporozoites are the highly polarised and motile forms of the malaria parasite transmitted by mosquitoes to the vertebrate hosts. Sporozoites use myosin motors to generate retrograde flow of actin filaments. These are linked to plasma membrane spanning adhesins, which in turn bind to the extracellular environment, resulting in ...

Extensive new Anopheles cryptic species involved in human malaria transmission in western Kenya

Scientific Reports, 2020
A thorough understanding of malaria vector species composition and their bionomic characteristics is crucial to devise effective and efficient vector control interventions to reduce malaria transmission. It has been well documented in Africa that malaria

DESCRIPTION OF A NEW ANOPHELES. [PDF]

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1902
In carrying on the work on the mosquitoes of the Philippine Islands lately begun in connection with the study of tropical diseases by the Medical Department, U. S. A.,* some very interesting points have already developed. The Stegomyia fasciata , Fabricius, has been sent in from nearly every post where collections have been made, and five species of ...

The Evolution of Locally Adaptive Chromosome Inversions in Mimulus guttatus

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chromosomal inversion polymorphisms are ubiquitous across the diversity of diploid organisms and play a significant role in the evolution of adaptations in those species. Inversions are thought to operate as supergenes by trapping adaptive alleles at multiple linked loci through the suppression of recombination. While there is now considerable

Observations On The Bionomics Of Anopheles [PDF]

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1905
The striking recedence of malaria in certain portions of the world and its equally noticeable extension in others are still in part unexplained phenomena, and offer a field for investigation that involves a consideration of many strictly biological problems.

The Malaria Season Is Upon Us

South African Family Practice, 2016
The arrival of our summer rains brings with it Anopheles mosquitos buzzing around our ankles with the prospect of a nutritious meal. Unbeknownst to the female Anopheles mosquito, she has increased the risk of our becoming an annual statistic by being ...
