The genetic basis of host preference and resting behavior in the major African malaria vector, Anopheles arabiensis [PDF]
, 2016 Malaria transmission is dependent on the propensity of Anopheles mosquitoes to bite humans (anthropophily) instead of other dead end hosts. Recent increases in the usage of Long Lasting Insecticide Treated Nets (LLINs) in Africa have been associated ...

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
