Changes in contributions of different Anopheles vector species to malaria transmission in east and southern Africa from 2000 to 2022

Parasites & Vectors, 2023
Background Malaria transmission in Africa is facilitated by multiple species of Anopheles mosquitoes. These vectors have different behaviors and vectorial capacities and are affected differently by vector control interventions, such as insecticide ...

Anopheles rufipes implicated in malaria transmission both indoors and outdoors alongside Anopheles funestus and Anopheles arabiensis in rural south-east Zambia

Malaria Journal, 2023
Background The primary malaria vector-control interventions, indoor residual spraying and long-lasting insecticidal nets, are effective against indoor biting and resting mosquito species.

Spatial distribution and ecological niche modeling of geographical spread of Anopheles gambiae complex in Nigeria using real time data

Scientific Reports, 2023
The need for evidence-based data, to inform policy decisions on malaria vector control interventions in Nigeria, necessitated the establishment of mosquito surveillance sites in a few States in Nigeria.

A Systematic Review on the Viruses of Anopheles Mosquitoes: The Potential Importance for Public Health

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2023
Anopheles mosquitoes are the vectors of Plasmodium, the etiological agent of malaria. In addition, Anopheles funestus and Anopheles gambiae are the main vectors of the O’nyong-nyong virus.

Temperature impacts the environmental suitability for malaria transmission by Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles stephensi

Ecology, 2022
Extrinsic environmental factors influence the spatiotemporal dynamics of many organisms, including insects that transmit the pathogens responsible for vector‐borne diseases (VBDs).

Anopheles stephensi in Africa requires a more integrated response

Malaria Journal, 2022
There are increasing reports of the Asian malaria mosquito, Anopheles stephensi invading and spreading in Eastern Africa. We discuss the importance of these invasions in the context of broader challenges facing malaria control in Africa and argue against

Key to the females of Afrotropical Anopheles mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae)

Malaria Journal, 2020
In 1987, Gillies and Coetzee published a pictorial key for the morphological identification of adult female mosquitoes. Since then, several new species of anopheline mosquitoes have been described.

A new malaria vector in Africa: Predicting the expansion range of Anopheles stephensi and identifying the urban populations at risk

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020
Significance In 2012, an unusual outbreak of malaria occurred in Djibouti City followed by increasingly severe annual outbreaks. Investigations revealed the presence of an Asian mosquito species; Anopheles stephensi, which thrives in urban environments ...
