An All‐in‐One Metabarcoding Approach to Mosquito and Arbovirus Xenosurveillance

Molecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Next‐generation sequencing (NGS) has the potential to transform mosquito‐borne disease surveillance but remains under‐utilised. This study introduces a comprehensive multi‐loci metabarcoding‐based MX (molecular xenomonitoring) approach to mosquito and arbovirus surveillance, enabling parallel identification of mosquito vectors, circulating ...

Impact of vector control interventions on malaria transmission intensity, outdoor vector biting rates and Anopheles mosquito species composition in Tororo, Uganda

Malaria Journal, 2019
Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying of insecticide (IRS) are widely recommended for the prevention of malaria in endemic regions.

Ecosystem services provided by spiders

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Spiders, ubiquitous and abundant predators in terrestrial ecosystems, often are the subjects of an unjust negative perception. However, these remarkable creatures stand as unsung heroes within our ecosystems, contributing a multitude of ecosystem services critical to human well‐being.

CRISPR/Cas9 -mediated gene knockout of Anopheles gambiae FREP1 suppresses malaria parasite infection

PLoS Pathogens, 2018
Plasmodium relies on numerous agonists during its journey through the mosquito vector, and these agonists represent potent targets for transmission-blocking by either inhibiting or interfering with them pre- or post-transcriptionally.

Anopheles arabiensis and Anopheles funestus biting patterns in Dielmo, an area of low level exposure to malaria vectors

Malaria Journal, 2020
In Dielmo, Senegal, the widespread use of long-lasting insecticidal nets has decreased both the incidence of malaria and the density of the Anopheles population.

The disappearance of malaria from Denmark, 1862–1900

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract The reason for malaria's disappearance from northwestern Europe in the early twentieth century has long been discussed but remains an unresolved conundrum. This is partially due to a previous focus on the early modern era, and partially because various theories have never been tested against each other.

A Systematic Review of Mosquito Coils and Passive Emanators: Defining Recommendations for Spatial Repellency Testing Methodologies. [PDF]

, 2012
Mosquito coils, vaporizer mats and emanators confer protection against mosquito bites through the spatial action of emanated vapor or airborne pyrethroid particles.

The Anopheles coluzzii microbiome and its interaction with the intracellular parasite Wolbachia

Scientific Reports, 2020
Wolbachia, an endosymbiotic alpha-proteobacterium commonly found in insects, can inhibit the transmission of human pathogens by mosquitoes. Biocontrol programs are underway using Aedes aegypti mosquitoes trans-infected with a non-natural Wolbachia strain
