Identification and expression of odorant-binding proteins of the malaria-carrying mosquitoes Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles arabiensis

, 2005
Host preference and blood feeding are restricted to female mosquitoes. Olfaction plays a major role in host-seeking behaviour, which is likely to be associated with a subset of mosquito olfactory genes.

Integrated malaria vector control in different agro-ecosystems in western Kenya [PDF]

, 2009
Malaria is a complex disease and its transmission is a function of the interaction between the Anopheles mosquito vector, the Plasmodium parasite, the hosts and the environment.

Innate preference for host-odor blends modulates degree of anthropophagy of Anopheles gambiae sensu lato (Diptera: Culicidae) [PDF]

, 2001
In field studies, Anopheles gambiae Giles sensu stricto obtains most blood meals from humans, whereas Anopheles quadriannulatus Theobald bites predominantly bovids. We investigated whether host odors modulate the host preference of these mosquito species.

Comparative efficacies of permethrin-, deltamethrin- and alpha-cypermethrin-treated nets, against Anopheles arabiensis and Culex quinquefasciatus in northern Tanzania.

, 2008
Mosquito nets treated with permethrin, deltamethrin or alpha-cypermethrin at 25 mg/m(2) were evaluated in experimental huts in an area of rice irrigation near Moshi, in northern Tanzania. The nets were deliberately holed to resemble worn nets.

Utilization of ‘swamp’ rice fields by members of the anopheles Gambiae complex in Gambia [PDF]

, 2009
Background Whilst it is well known that rice production in Africa increases the production of Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes, most studies have investigated this in irrigation schemes. Here I examine the colonisation of 'swamp' rice fields by An.

Reduced susceptibility to DDT in field populations of Anopheles quadriannulatus and Anopheles arabiensis in Malawi: evidence for larval selection

, 2008
Bioassays for insecticide resistance in adult mosquitoes were conducted on samples of Anopheles gambiae Giles s.l. (Diptera: Culicidae) species collected as larvae from breeding sites in the lower Shire Valley, Malawi.

Transmission of malaria in the Tesseney area of Eritrea: parasite prevalence in children, and vector density, host preferences, and sporozoite rate. [PDF]

, 2005
Malaria transmission was studied from July to September, 2002 in three villages of the Tesseney sub-zone, in the western lowlands of Eritrea. The three methods used for mosquito collection were light traps, pyrethrum spray catches, and pit shelter ...

Insecticide susceptibility status of Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes and the effect of pre-exposure to a piperonyl butoxide (PBO) synergist on resistance to deltamethrin in northern Namibia

Malaria Journal
Background Pyrethroid-based indoor residual spraying (IRS) and long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) have been employed as key vector control measures against malaria in Namibia.

Longitudinal survey of insecticide resistance in a village of central region of Burkina Faso reveals co-occurrence of 1014F, 1014S and 402L mutations in Anopheles coluzzii and Anopheles arabiensis

Malaria Journal
Background Pyrethroid resistance is one of the major threats for effectiveness of insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs) in malaria vector control. Genotyping of mutations in the voltage gated sodium channel (VGSC) gene is widely used to easily assess the ...
