Genetic diversity and phylogeny of Anopheles nuneztovari C and Anopheles albimanus, vectors of malaria in the department of Córdoba, Colombia [PDF]

Heliyon, 2023
In the department of Córdoba, 21 widely distributed Anopheles species have been described, of which Anopheles triannulatus, Anopheles nuneztovari, Anopheles albimanus, and Anopheles darlingi are the most abundant species, and the last three play a ...

Entomological parameters and population structure at a microgeographic scale of the main Colombian malaria vectors Anopheles albimanus and Anopheles nuneztovari. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2023
Population subdivision among several neotropical malaria vectors has been widely evaluated; however, few studies have analyzed population variation at a microgeographic scale, wherein local environmental variables may lead to population differentiation ...

Oral susceptibility to ivermectin is over fifty times greater in a wild population of Anopheles albimanus mosquitoes from Belize than the STECLA laboratory reference strain of this mosquito [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2022
Background The STECLA strain of Anopheles albimanus has been in continuous colony for many years and is the reference strain on which genomic studies for the species are based.

Entomological characterization of malaria in northern Colombia through vector and parasite species identification, and analyses of spatial distribution and infection rates [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2017
Background Malaria remains a worldwide public health concern and, in Colombia, despite the efforts to stop malaria transmission, the incidence of cases has increased over the last few years.

Anopheles albimanus (Diptera: Culicidae) Ensemble Distribution Modeling: Applications for Malaria Elimination [PDF]

Insects, 2022
In the absence of entomological information, tools for predicting Anopheles spp. presence can help evaluate the entomological risk of malaria transmission. Here, we illustrate how species distribution models (SDM) could quantify potential dominant vector

Models of effectiveness of interventions against malaria transmitted by Anopheles albimanus [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2019
Background Most impact prediction of malaria vector control interventions has been based on African vectors. Anopheles albimanus, the main vector in Central America and the Caribbean, has higher intrinsic mortality, is more zoophilic and less likely to ...

Dietary para-aminobenzoic acid, uric acid, and antibiotics modulate the susceptibility of Anopheles darlingi and Anopheles albimanus to Plasmodium berghei [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
BackgroundMalaria, caused by Plasmodium, is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. Anopheles darlingi and Anopheles albimanus are primary vectors in South and Central America, with An.

Precopulatory acoustic interactions of the New World malaria vector Anopheles albimanus (Diptera: Culicidae) [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Anopheles albimanus is a malaria vector in Central America, northern South America and the Caribbean. Although a public health threat, An. albimanus precopulatory mating behaviors are unknown.

Physiological Impacts on the Mosquito Vector Hosts Refine Vectorial Capacity Estimates of Mayaro Virus Transmission Risk [PDF]

Viruses
Mayaro virus (MAYV) is an alphavirus transmitted by mosquito vectors. Among the three MAYV genotypes (D, L, and N), genotype D has the broadest geographical distribution in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Insecticide susceptibility status of Anopheles albimanus populations in historical malaria foci in Quintana Roo, Mexico [PDF]

Malaria Journal
Background Mexico has experienced a significant reduction in malaria cases over the past two decades. Certification of localities as malaria-free areas (MFAs) has been proposed as a steppingstone before elimination is achieved throughout the country. The
