Prophylaxis - A key component in malaria control

South African Family Practice, 2018
With the summer holidays fast approaching, holidaymakers will be planning their trip across Africa and the globe. Patients need to be aware of the risks of mosquito bites and contracting malaria. Malaria is endemic in the Limpopo, Mpumalanga and Northern

A microsporidian impairs Plasmodium falciparum transmission in Anopheles arabiensis mosquitoes

Nature Communications, 2020
A possible malaria control approach involves the dissemination in mosquitoes of inherited symbiotic microbes to block Plasmodium transmission. However, in the Anopheles gambiae complex, the primary African vectors of malaria, there are limited reports of

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

Genome variation and population structure among 1142 mosquitoes of the African malaria vector species Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles coluzzii

Genome Research, 2020
Mosquito control remains a central pillar of efforts to reduce malaria burden in sub-Saharan Africa. However, insecticide resistance is entrenched in malaria vector populations, and countries with a high malaria burden face a daunting challenge to ...

Olfaction in Anopheles mosquitoes.

Chemical Sensors, 2021
As vectors for disease, mosquitoes are a global threat to human health. The Anopheles mosquito is the deadliest mosquito species as the insect vector for the malaria-causing parasite, which kills hundreds of thousands every year.

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.

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.

Investigating the potential sibling species status of Anopheles fluviatilis in Gadchiroli, Maharashtra, India

Journal of Vector Borne Diseases
Background & objectives: India has made significant progress in combating malaria and reducing malaria-related mortality and morbidity. Yet, local transmission and malaria hotspots are important hurdles as India looks to achieve malaria elimination by ...

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
