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 ...

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.

Anopheles ecology, genetics and malaria transmission in northern Cambodia

Scientific Reports, 2021
In the Greater Mekong Subregion, malaria cases have significantly decreased but little is known about the vectors or mechanisms responsible for residual malaria transmission. We analysed a total of 3920 Anopheles mosquitoes collected during the rainy and

A CRISPR–Cas9 gene drive targeting doublesex causes complete population suppression in caged Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes

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.

Clock genes and environmental cues coordinate Anopheles pheromone synthesis, swarming, and mating

Science, 2021
Cuticular pheromone circadian regulation Several species of anopheline mosquitoes are important malaria vectors in Africa. Male mosquitoes show species-specific swarming behaviors at certain times of the day to attract females for mating.

Anopheles (Anopheles) plumbeus Stephens 1828

, 2022
24. Anopheles (Anopheles) plumbeus Stephens, 1828 (Fig. 4F) Published source: Remm (1957: 150). Voucher material: None. Comment: There are historical records of four An. plumbeus females collected from Estonia (Remm 1957). No specimens were identified during this study, but this may be because of collection bias.

Efficient population modification gene-drive rescue system in the malaria mosquito Anopheles stephensi

Nature Communications, 2020
Cas9/gRNA-mediated gene-drive systems have advanced development of genetic technologies for controlling vector-borne pathogen transmission. These technologies include population suppression approaches, genetic analogs of insecticidal techniques that ...
