Potential distribution of dominant malaria vector species in tropical region under climate change scenarios.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Risk assessment regarding the distribution of malaria vectors and environmental variables underpinning their distribution under changing climates is crucial towards malaria control and eradication. On this basis, we used Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) Model to

Chromosome-level genome assemblies of the malaria vectors Anopheles coluzzii and Anopheles arabiensis

bioRxiv, 2020
Background Anopheles coluzzii and An. arabiensis belong to the An. gambiae complex and are among the major malaria vectors in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, chromosome-level reference genome assemblies are still lacking for these medically important ...

Resting behaviour as a target for innovative mosquito control strategies

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, Page 1890-1905, September 2025.
Abstract This work reviews and discusses how a deeper knowledge of mosquito time‐allocation, particularly resting periods, can enhance the effectiveness and deployment of classical vector control tools. As more high‐resolution data are gathered by novel tracking devices, follow‐up questions investigating mosquito behaviour are likely to arise ...

Bionomics of Anopheles stephensi across the urban–rural landscapes of Eastern Ethiopia

Malaria Journal
Background Invasion and spread of Anopheles stephensi in sub-Saharan Africa poses a threat to malaria control and elimination efforts in the continent. This study aimed to determine the distribution and bionomics of An.

Detection of alleles associated with resistance to chemical insecticide in the malaria vector Anopheles arabiensis in Santiago, Cabo Verde

Malaria Journal, 2019
Background Mosquitoes of the Anopheles gambiae complex are the main malaria vectors worldwide. Due to the lack of a vaccine to prevent malaria, the principal way to reduce the impact of this disease relies on the use of chemical insecticides to control ...

Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles arabiensis population densities and infectivity in Kopere village, Western Kenya

The Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2012
Introduction: This study was conducted in a sugar belt region of western Kenya interfacing epidemic and endemic malaria transmission. We investigated Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto (ss) and Anopheles arabiensis species compositions and densities, human host choice, and infectivity.

Semipermeable species boundaries betweenAnopheles gambiaeandAnopheles arabiensis: Evidence from multilocus DNA sequence variation [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2003
Attempts to reconstruct the phylogenetic history of theAnopheles gambiaecryptic species complex have yielded strongly conflicting results. In particular,An. gambiae, the primary African malaria vector, is variously placed as a sister taxon to eitherAnopheles arabiensisorAnopheles merus. The recent divergence times for members of this complex complicate

Genome-wide gene expression profiling reveals that cuticle alterations and P450 detoxification are associated with deltamethrin and DDT resistance in Anopheles arabiensis populations from Ethiopia.

Pest Management Science, 2019
BACKGROUND Vector control is the main intervention in malaria control and elimination strategies. However, the development of insecticide resistance is one of the major challenges for controlling malaria vectors.

The Influence of Climatic Factors on Age‐Group‐Specific Malaria Burden in Western Kenya

Public Health Challenges, Volume 4, Issue 2, June 2025.
This study shows that climatic variables, particularly rainfall patterns, significantly influence malaria transmission dynamics among school‐aged children. The findings therefore suggested a need for targeted expanded surveillance and interventions, including school‐aged children.
