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.

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

Antimicrobial properties of Anopheles albimanus pericardial cells. [PDF]

Cell Tissue Res, 2013
Insect pericardial cells (PCs) are strategically located along the dorsal vessel where they encounter a high hemolymph flow enabling them to undertake their osmoregulatory, detoxifying, and scavenging functions. In this location, PCs also encounter foreign molecules and microorganisms. The response of PCs of the mosquito Anopheles albimanus, one of the

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.

Ecoregional and altitudinal distribution of the principal malaria vectors in Colombia [PDF]

Malaria Journal
Background In Colombia, with over 100,000 cases reported in 2023, malaria is a significant vector-borne disease. The wide range of climates and highly variable topography and land cover of the country support a high species richness, favouring different ...

Knockdown resistance (kdr) and organochlorine insecticide resistance in malaria vectors: a systematic review [PDF]

Malaria Journal
Background Anopheles albimanus, Anopheles darlingi, Anopheles dirus, and Anopheles punctipennis are key malaria vectors across multiple regions. Insecticide resistance especially to organochlorines poses a major challenge to vector control.

Transcriptome of the adult female malaria mosquito vector Anopheles albimanus [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2012
Background Human Malaria is transmitted by mosquitoes of the genus Anopheles. Transmission is a complex phenomenon involving biological and environmental factors of humans, parasites and mosquitoes.

Genome-wide cataloging and orthology analysis of long noncoding RNA expression in three species of Anopheles mosquito [PDF]

BMC Genomics
Background Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are versatile regulatory molecules that affect cellular phenotypes through context-specific expression. While their role in controlling cellular pathways is well-established in insects, investigating lncRNA ...
