Horizontal Transmission of the Symbiont Microsporidia MB in Anopheles arabiensis [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
The recently discovered Anopheles symbiont, Microsporidia MB, has a strong malaria transmission-blocking phenotype in Anopheles arabiensis, the predominant Anopheles gambiae species complex member in many active transmission areas in eastern Africa.

Species shifts in the Anopheles gambiae complex: do LLINs successfully control Anopheles arabiensis? [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
INTRODUCTION: High coverage of conventional and long-lasting insecticide treated nets (ITNs and LLINs) in parts of E Africa are associated with reductions in local malaria burdens.

Increasing role of Anopheles funestus and Anopheles arabiensis in malaria transmission in the Kilombero Valley, Tanzania [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2014
In order to sustain the gains achieved by current malaria control strategies, robust surveillance systems that monitor dynamics of vectors and their roles in malaria transmission over time are essential. This longitudinal study demonstrates the trends in

Feeding and resting behaviour of malaria vector, Anopheles arabiensis with reference to zooprophylaxis [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2007
Background The most important factor for effective zooprophylaxis in reducing malaria transmission is a predominant population of a strongly zoophilic mosquito, Anopheles arabiensis. The feeding preference behaviour of Anopheline mosquitoes was evaluated

First detection of the malaria vector Anopheles arabiensis in Côte d’Ivoire: urbanization in question

Malaria Journal, 2022
Background Previous studies have revealed high malaria transmission in Bouaké, Côte d’Ivoire. The sociopolitical crisis in the country and the resulting environmental changes have raised the need to update existing knowledge on mosquito vector species ...
