Abundance and species diversity of mosquitoes (Diptera, Culicidae) in endemic areas for arboviruses in the Eastern Amazon, Brazil Abundância e diversidade de espécies de mosquitos (Diptera, Culicidae) em áreas endêmicas para arboviroses na Amazônia Oriental, Brasil

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
A total of 3671 adult specimens of Culicidae were identified, comprising 35 species distributed across 11 genera. Species of the genera Anopheles, Aedes, Psorophora, Haemagogus, Culex, Coquillettidia and Mansonia were identified in both localities and are considered of medical and epidemiological importance in the transmission of arboviruses ...

First record of Anopheles balabacensis from western Sumbawa Island, Indonesia. [PDF]

, 2009
An anopheline mosquito surveillance was conducted in the malaria endemic areas of Utan Rhee and Lunyuk counties, eastern Sumbawa Island, in 2004 and 2005. Eight species of Anopheles were collected, including a new record of An.

The role of water temperature and food availability in shaping immunity and body condition of Odonata: Impacts of deprivation on larval development

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.
Larvae of Aeshna cyanea were reared at 17 or 21°C and fed either once or three times per week. Body condition and immune parameters were measured. Elevated temperature reduced haemocyte density. Low food availability reduced phenoloxidase (PO) activity, protein and fat content and growth.

Effectiveness of synthetic versus natural human volatiles as attractants for Anopheles gambiae (Diptera: Culicidae) sensu stricto [PDF]

, 2010
Females of the African malaria vector, Anopheles gambiae Giles sensu stricto, use human volatiles to find their blood-host. Previous work has shown that ammonia, lactic acid, and aliphatic carboxylic acids significantly affect host orientation and ...

Repurposing Drugs for Malaria through a Human Dose Prediction: A Case Study with Berzosertib

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, Volume 120, Issue 5, Page 1315-1325, November 2026.
Repurposing drugs whose clinical safety has been established offers a valuable approach to reduce the cost and time associated with the development of new drugs for malaria. Here, we investigate the potential to repurpose the anticancer kinase inhibitor berzosertib for the treatment of malaria, by assessing whether a predicted efficacious human dose ...

Characterization of the Anopheles funestus group, including Anopheles funestus-like, from Northern Malawi

, 2013
Background Limited information is available on malaria vector composition, feeding habits and malaria transmission in northern Malawi. Evidence of mosquito species diversity in this area was established in 2009, when Anopheles funestus-like, a new member

Development of a gravid trap for collecting live malaria vectors Anopheles gambiae s.l. [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: Effective malaria vector control targeting indoor host-seeking mosquitoes has resulted in fewer vectors entering houses in many areas of sub-Saharan Africa, with the proportion of vectors outdoors becoming more important in the transmission ...

Copy Number Variation‐Based Molecular Sexing of Ixodes scapularis and Rhipicephalus microplus Immature Stages Using qPCR and ddPCR Approaches

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2026.
We developed and validated a copy number variation (CNV)‐based molecular method to accurately determine the sex of immature ticks, Ixodes scapularis and Rhipicephalus microplus, which lack morphological sexual dimorphism. Using qPCR and ddPCR assays targeting female‐enriched genes, sex was reliably identified from DNA extracted non‐destructively from a

Knockdown resistance mutations (kdr) and insecticide susceptibility to DDT and pyrethroids in Anopheles gambiae from Equatorial Guinea.

, 2008
OBJECTIVES: To determine the frequency of knockdown resistance (kdr) mutations in the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae s.s. from continental Equatorial Guinea; and to relate kdr genotypes with susceptibility to DDT and pyrethroid insecticides in this ...
