The Evolution of Locally Adaptive Chromosome Inversions in Mimulus guttatus
ABSTRACT Chromosomal inversion polymorphisms are ubiquitous across the diversity of diploid organisms and play a significant role in the evolution of adaptations in those species. Inversions are thought to operate as supergenes by trapping adaptive alleles at multiple linked loci through the suppression of recombination. While there is now considerable

Fluralaner treatment of chickens kills the southern house mosquito, Culex quinquefasciatus
Chickens treated with fluralaner, fenbendazole or ivermectin did not repel Culex quinquefasciatus from feeding. The mortality of Culex quinquefasciatus feeding on fluralaner‐treated chickens was significantly higher than that of those fed on control chickens at 3 and 7 days post‐treatment.

Anti‐mosquito salivary gland antibodies were detected in the sera of macaques (Macaca arctoides, M. leonina and M. fascicularis) from Kaeng Krachan, Khao Yai and Mu Ko Ranong National Parks, respectively. For M. leonina and M. fascicularis, the highest titres were against Ae. aegypti while Ae. albopictus antibody titres were observed in M.

Influence of Land-use on the Fitness of Anopheles gambiae, the Principal Vector of Malaria in Nigeria [PDF]
Background: Urbanization often results in profound environmental alterations that may promote the transmission of malaria. Though, land-use practices in urban areas have been linked with proliferations of suitable larval breeding habitats of malaria ...

Eliminating Malaria Vectors. [PDF]
Malaria vectors which predominantly feed indoors upon humans have been locally eliminated from several settings with insecticide treated nets (ITNs), indoor residual spraying or larval source management. Recent dramatic declines of An.

River Murray mosquito communities in South Australia have geographic structure with differences in dominate species, measures of diversity and abundance. Species richness and diversity was stable over 20 years in the upper river but declined in the lower river.

The principal arboviral vector Aedes aegypti can develop in coastal brackish water field habitats (0.5–15 g/L salt) with larvae possessing thicker cuticles and greater resistance to the larvicide Temephos. Females emerging from brackish water‐developing preimaginal stages are now shown to have thicker and remodelled leg and abdominal cuticles and ...

We identified Culex pipiens bloodmeals at the species level in natural, agricultural and peri‐urban habitats and calculated host preferences based on forage ratios. This analysis showed Passeriformes, and in particular Columba livia, Passer montanus and Turdus sp., to be the preferred Cx. pipiens hosts.

An affordable, quality-assured community-based system for high-resolution entomological surveillance of vector mosquitoes that reflects human malaria infection risk patterns. [PDF]
: BACKGROUND: More sensitive and scalable entomological surveillance tools are required to monitor low levels of transmission that are increasingly common across the tropics, particularly where vector control has been successful.
