Comprehensive Genomic Discovery of Non-Coding Transcriptional Enhancers in the African Malaria Vector Anopheles coluzzii

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
Almost all regulation of gene expression in eukaryotic genomes is mediated by the action of distant non-coding transcriptional enhancers upon proximal gene promoters.

Advanced Techniques to Control Mosquitoes and their Disease Transmission: A Review

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology
Mosquitoes transmit life-threatening diseases to humans. The conventional mosquito control techniques that have been focused on population reduction by the application of insecticides or through source reduction by removing the larval habitat have become

Quantifying Reductions in Plasmodium falciparum Infectivity to Mosquitos: A Sample Size Calculator to Inform Clinical Trials on Transmission-Reducing Interventions

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Malaria transmission depends on the presence of mature Plasmodium transmission stages (gametocytes) that may render blood-feeding Anopheles mosquitos infectious.

Population genetic structure of Anopheles arabiensis and Anopheles gambiae in a malaria endemic region of southern Tanzania [PDF]

, 2011
<b>BACKGROUND:</b> Genetic diversity is a key factor that enables adaptation and persistence of natural populations towards environmental conditions.

Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles arabiensis population densities and infectivity in Kopere village, Western Kenya

Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2012
Introduction: This study was conducted in a sugar belt region of western Kenya interfacing epidemic and endemic malaria transmission. We investigated Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto (ss) and Anopheles arabiensis species compositions and densities, human

Zoophilic and anthropophilic behaviour in the Anopheles gambiae complex [PDF]

The work included in this thesis arose from a long-standing interest in the possible use of genetic control for one of the most important malaria vectors in Africa, Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto.

Co-occurrence and distribution of East (L1014S) and West (L1014F) African knock-down resistance in Anopheles gambiae sensu lato population of Tanzania. [PDF]

, 2014
OBJECTIVE: Insecticide resistance molecular markers can provide sensitive indicators of resistance development in Anopheles vector populations. Assaying these makers is of paramount importance in the resistance monitoring programme.

Adult-capture assays as a tool to measure insecticide resistance in Anopheles malaria vectors: a modeling comparison with larval-capture assays

Frontiers in Malaria
Systematic, long-term, and spatially representative monitoring of insecticide resistance in mosquito populations is urgently needed to quantify its impact on malaria transmission, and to combat failing interventions when resistance emerges.

Evaluation of Different Methods of Haemoglobin Estimation Among Malaria‐Infected Patients

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
This study compared haemoglobin concentrations measured with an automated Full Blood Count (Sysmex XN‐550) analyzer, the cyanmethemoglobin method, and a portable Hb meter (HemoCue Hb 301) in 100 patients with malaria. The three methods showed good agreement and broadly comparable measurements, though small systematic differences were observed.
