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 ...

Parasites & Vectors, 2019 In the scope of climate change the possible recurrence and/or expansion of vector-borne diseases poses a major concern. The occurrence of vector competent Anopheles species as well as favorable climatic conditions may lead to the re-emergence of ...

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Parasites are expected to hybridise in similar ways to free‐living organisms, although this may be modified by their reduced genome architecture. Recombinant strains and taxa of hybrid origin can be studied in nature where hosts come into secondary contact. Here we apply genome‐wide analysis to parasites from a contact previously characterised

A Simple and Efficient Tool for Trapping Gravid Anopheles at Breeding Sites. [PDF]
, 2011 No effective tool currently exists for trapping ovipositing malaria vectors. This creates a gap in our ability to investigate the behavior and ecology of gravid Anopheles.\ud Here we describe a simple trap that collects ovipositing Anopheline and ...

Landscape and Climate‐Associated Selection in the Native and Widespread Bumblebee, Bombus terrestris
Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Anthropogenic land‐use and climate change pose novel selection pressures on bees, yet their evolutionary responses in terms of morphological or physiological adaptations remain unclear. While adaptive responses are expected, these may be constrained by gene flow when changes in selection pressures are spatially heterogeneous.

Сеченовский вестник, 2012 The aim of the study was to determine the degree of contamination of three kinds of female mosquitoes (Culex, Aedes, Anopheles) in some areas of Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod regions at different times of the warm season of the year (from May to September).

Biologically meaningful coverage indicators for eliminating malaria transmission. [PDF]
, 2012 Mosquitoes, which evade contact with long-lasting insecticidal nets and indoor residual sprays, by feeding outdoors or upon animals, are primary malaria vectors in many tropical countries.

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.The principal arboviral vector Aedes aegypti can develop in coastal brackish water field habitats (0.5–15 g/L salt) with larvae possessing thicker cuticles and greater resistance to the larvicide Temephos. Females emerging from brackish water‐developing preimaginal stages are now shown to have thicker and remodelled leg and abdominal cuticles and ...
