New Evidence of TLR4 and TLR9 Variants Influencing Parasitaemia and Symptoms of Plasmodium vivax Infection

International Journal of Immunogenetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Toll‐like receptors (TLRs) induce the production of pro‐inflammatory cytokines and regulate the immune response to Plasmodium vivax infection. Genetic variants of TLRs are associated with susceptibility and severity of malaria in different populations. This study aimed to evaluate the association between polymorphisms in TLR1, TLR4, TLR7, TLR8,

The genetic architecture of target‐site resistance to pyrethroid insecticides in the African malaria vectors Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles coluzzii

bioRxiv, 2018
Resistance to pyrethroid insecticides is a major concern for malaria vector control, because these are the compounds used in almost all insecticide-treated bed-nets (ITNs), and are also widely used for indoor residual spraying (IRS).

Transcriptomic, proteomic and biochemical comparison of luminescent and non‐luminescent Keroplatinae larvae (Diptera: Keroplatidae)

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Transcriptomic and proteomic comparison of luminescent O. fultoni and non‐luminescent Neoditomyia sp show that the substrate binding fraction (SBF) has a similar abundance of hexamerins and the presence of flavin‐dependent reductases. In addition to the high content of keroplatin, SBF also contains considerable amounts of riboflavin and displays ...

Genomic signatures of population decline in the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae [PDF]

, 2016
Population genomic features such as nucleotide diversity and linkage disequilibrium are expected to be strongly shaped by changes in population size, and might therefore be useful for monitoring the success of a control campaign.

Transcriptomic meta-signatures identified in Anopheles gambiae populations reveal previously undetected insecticide resistance mechanisms

Nature Communications, 2018
Increasing insecticide resistance in malaria-transmitting vectors represents a public health threat, but underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, a data integration approach is used to analyse transcriptomic data from comparisons of insecticide

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

Evaluation of alternative mosquito sampling methods for malaria vectors in Lowland South - East Zambia. [PDF]

, 2013
Sampling malaria vectors and measuring their biting density is of paramount importance for entomological surveys of malaria transmission. Human landing catch (HLC) has been traditionally regarded as a gold standard method for surveying human exposure to ...
