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

Pengendalian malaria dengan pemanfaatan ikan Oreocromis niloticus sebagai predator larva

Jurnal Vektor Penyakit, 2022
Oreochromis niloticus is a type of fish that is a natural enemy of Anopheles mosquito larvae, a vector for transmitting malaria. This method can be used as an alternative tools and integrated with other malaria control methods. This study aims to compare

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.

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.

Anopheles larval species composition and characterization of breeding habitats in two localities in the Ghibe River Basin, southwestern Ethiopia

Malaria Journal, 2020
Documentation of the species composition of Anopheles mosquitoes and characterization of larval breeding sites is of major importance for the implementation of larval control as part of malaria vector control interventions in Ethiopia.

Horizontal Transmission of the Symbiont Microsporidia MB in Anopheles arabiensis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
The recently discovered Anopheles symbiont, Microsporidia MB, has a strong malaria transmission-blocking phenotype in Anopheles arabiensis, the predominant Anopheles gambiae species complex member in many active transmission areas in eastern Africa.

Molecular bases of insect odorant receptor function: specificity and evolution

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Insect odorant receptors (ORs) are a class of chemoreceptors that insects use to detect volatile cues in their environment. In recent years, major advances in the field of structural biology have made it possible to obtain the first structures of insect ORs.

Panoramic view of diversity and function of cuticular proteins in insects and mosquitoes biology

Frontiers in Insect Science
AimThe insect cuticle, vital for structural maintenance, forms their exoskeleton. It is mainly composed of an intermesh of – structural cuticle proteins (CPs) with polysaccharide chitin. The insect CPs encoded by CP genes are indispensable for morphology,
