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 ...

Anopheles stephensi Mosquitoes as Vectors of Plasmodium vivax and falciparum, Horn of Africa, 2019
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2021 Anopheles stephensi mosquitoes, efficient vectors in parts of Asia and Africa, were found in 75.3% of water sources surveyed and contributed to 80.9% of wild-caught Anopheles mosquitoes in Awash Sebat Kilo, Ethiopia.

Increased Threat of Urban Malaria from Anopheles stephensi Mosquitoes, Africa [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2019 Malaria continues to be a major health threat in Africa, mainly in rural areas. Recently, the urban malaria vector Anopheles stephensi invaded Djibouti and Ethiopia, potentially spreading to other areas of Africa. Urgent action is needed to prevent urban

Nature Biotechnology, 2018 In the human malaria vector Anopheles gambiae, the gene doublesex (Agdsx) encodes two alternatively spliced transcripts, dsx-female (AgdsxF) and dsx-male (AgdsxM), that control differentiation of the two sexes.

Role of Anopheles stephensi Mosquitoes in Malaria Outbreak, Djibouti, 2019
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2021 Anopheles stephensi mosquitoes share urban breeding sites with Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes in the Republic of Djibouti. We present evidence that A.

Pyrethroid Resistance Situation across Different Eco-Epidemiological Settings in Cameroon
Molecules, 2022 Rapid emergence and spread of pyrethroid resistance in Anopheles gambiae populations is among the main factors affecting malaria vector control in Cameroon, but there is still not enough data on the exact pyrethroid resistance status across Cameroon. The

Reduced bio-efficacy of permethrin EC impregnated bednets against an Anopheles gambiae strain with oxidase-based pyrethroid tolerance [PDF]
, 2004 BACKGROUND: Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) are an integral component of malaria control programmes in Africa. How much pyrethroid resistance in malaria vectors will impact on the efficacy of ITNs is controversial.
