Diversity and Plasticity in Mosquito Feeding Patterns: A Meta‐Analysis of ‘Universal’ DNA Diet Studies

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 6, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Although mosquitoes can have innate preferences for particular blood‐meal hosts, their realised feeding patterns on different host species can be modified under climate and land use change with implications for disease spread. Therefore, it is important to understand the niche breadth of vectors and the extent to which shifts in feeding ...

Janibacter anophelis sp. nov., isolated from the midgut of Anopheles arabiensis [PDF]

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2006
A Gram-positive, aerobic, non-motile strain, H2.16BT, isolated from the midgut of the mosquito Anopheles arabiensis was investigated using a polyphasic approach. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity studies, strain H2.16BT was shown to belong to the genus Janibacter, being most closely related to Janibacter melonis (98·3 %), Janibacter ...

Differential contribution of Anopheles coustani and Anopheles arabiensis to the transmission of Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax in two neighbouring villages of Madagascar

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Malaria is still a heavy public health concern in Madagascar. Few studies combining parasitology and entomology have been conducted despite the need for accurate information to design effective vector control measures. In a Malagasy region of moderate to

Insecticide‐treated nets distribution campaign: Physical integrity, usage and sustainable disposal of end‐of‐life insecticide‐treated nets under operational settings in Odisha, India

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 30, Issue 6, Page 509-520, June 2025.
Abstract Objectives Prior to 2017, Odisha accounted for 50% of all Plasmodium falciparum cases in India. The ‘National Strategic Plan’ for malaria elimination had distributed 11.3 million insecticidal treated nets (ITNs) to 23 million individuals in Odisha's 17 malaria‐endemic districts by 2017.

Size and sex in early developmental stages in a frog‐biting mosquito

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 5, Page 425-434, May 2025.
Our knowledge of the morphological scaling of body parts over development across sexes in mosquitoes mainly focuses on well‐studied anthropophilic species, leaving a noticeable gap in our understanding of the developmental biology of mosquitoes with limited medical consequences.

Seasonal abundance, blood meal sources and insecticide susceptibility in major anopheline malaria vectors from southern Mauritania

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Malaria is endemic in the southernmost Sahelian zone of Mauritania where the major known mosquito vector is Anopheles arabiensis. Understanding seasonal population dynamics, feeding preferences and insecticide resistance status of these ...

Using mid-infrared spectroscopy and supervised machine-learning to identify vertebrate blood meals in the malaria vector, Anopheles arabiensis

Malaria Journal, 2019
The propensity of different Anopheles mosquitoes to bite humans instead of other vertebrates influences their capacity to transmit pathogens to humans. Unfortunately, determining proportions of mosquitoes that have fed on humans, i.e.

Genomic Analysis Reveals a New Cryptic Taxon Within the Anopheles gambiae Complex With a Distinct Insecticide Resistance Profile in the Coast of East Africa

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 10, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Anopheles mosquitoes are major malaria vectors, encompassing several species complexes with diverse life histories, transmission risks and insecticide resistance profiles that challenge malaria control efforts. This study investigated the genetic structure and insecticide resistance profiles of Anopheles gambiae complex mosquitoes in Tanzania.

Effect of LongRange™ eprinomectin on Anopheles arabiensis by feeding on calves treated with the drug

Malaria Journal, 2019
Background Misuse of long-lasting insecticidal nets together with resistance of vectors to most of the insecticides for indoor residual spraying and impregnated nets threaten malaria vector control interventions, requiring search for alternative control ...

Impact of combining indoor residual spraying and long-lasting insecticidal nets on Anopheles arabiensis in Ethiopia: results from a cluster randomized controlled trial

Malaria Journal, 2019
Indoor residual house spraying (IRS) and long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) are the key front-line malaria vector interventions against Anopheles arabiensis, the sole primary malaria vector in Ethiopia.
