A targeted amplicon sequencing panel to simultaneously identify mosquito species and Plasmodium presence across the entire Anopheles genus

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 22, Issue 1, Page 28-44, January 2022., 2022
Abstract Anopheles is a diverse genus of mosquitoes comprising over 500 described species, including all known human malaria vectors. While a limited number of key vector species have been studied in detail, the goal of malaria elimination calls for surveillance of all potential vector species. Here, we develop a multilocus amplicon sequencing approach

Anopheline salivary protein genes and gene families: an evolutionary overview after the whole genome sequence of sixteen Anopheles species [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Mosquito saliva is a complex cocktail whose pharmacological properties play an essential role in blood feeding by counteracting host physiological response to tissue injury.

A morphological trait involved in reproductive isolation between Drosophila sister species is sensitive to temperature

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 12, Page 7492-7506, June 2021., 2021
The closely related species Drosophila yakuba and Drosophila santomea have distinctive ventral branches, a male genital structure involved in reproductive isolation. We designed a semi‐automatic method to measure the shape of the ventral branches and found that temperature does not affect ventral branches in D. yakuba but that in D.

Advantages and Limitations of Commercially Available Electrocuting Grids for Studying Mosquito Behaviour. [PDF]

, 2013
Mosquito feeding behaviour plays a major role in determining malaria transmission intensity and the impact of specific prevention measures. Human Landing Catch (HLC) is currently the only method that can directly and consistently measure the biting rates

Differences in the intestinal microbiota between insecticide‐resistant and ‐sensitive Aedes albopictus based on full‐length 16S rRNA sequencing

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 10, Issue 2, April 2021., 2021
In this study, we used third‐generation sequencing technology to determine the full‐length of 16S rRNA and to analyze the differences in the intestinal symbionts between deltamethrin‐resistant and sensitive Aedes albopictus. Significant differences in diversity and abundance have been found.

Larval habitat associations with human land uses, roads, rivers and land cover for Anopheles albimanus, An. pseudopunctipennis and An. punctimacula (Diptera: Culicidae) in coastal and highland Ecuador

Frontiers in Physiology, 2012
Larval habitat for three highland Anopheles species: Anopheles albimanus Wiedemann, Anopheles pseudopunctipennis Theobald, and Anopheles punctimacula Dyar & Knab was related to human land uses, rivers, roads, and remotely sensed land cover ...

Juvenile hormone controls ovarian development in female Anopheles albimanus mosquitoes. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2019
AbstractAnophelinae mosquitoes are vectors of human malaria, a disease that infects hundreds of millions of people and causes almost 600,000 fatalities annually. Despite their medical importance, laboratory studies on key aspects of Anophelinae reproductive biology have been limited, and in particular, relatively little is known about the role of ...
