Species Shifts in the Anopheles gambiae Complex: Do LLINs Successfully Control Anopheles arabiensis? [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
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. Shifts in malaria vector species ratio have coincided with the scale-up suggesting that some species are being controlled by ITNs/LLINs better than others.Between 2005-2006 six ...

Blood meal profile and positivity rate with malaria parasites among different malaria vectors in Sudan

Malaria Journal, 2022
Background Malaria is a life-threatening public health problem globally with particularly heavy burden in the sub-Saharan Africa including Sudan. The understanding of feeding preference of malaria vectors on different hosts is a major challenge for ...

The effect of cattle-administered ivermectin and fipronil on the mortality and fecundity of Anopheles arabiensis Patton

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background Malaria control primarily depends on two vector control strategies: indoor residual spraying (IRS) and long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLINs). Both IRS and LLIN target indoor-biting mosquitoes.

Entomologic Inoculation Rates of Anopheles arabiensis in Southwestern Ethiopia [PDF]

The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2013
We collected anophelines every second week for one year from randomly selected houses in southwestern Ethiopia by using Centers for Disease Control (CDC) light traps, pyrethrum spray catches, and artificial pit shelter constructions to detect circumsporozoite proteins and estimate entomologic inoculation rates (EIRs).

Malaria in migrant agricultural workers in western Ethiopia: entomological assessment of malaria transmission risk

Malaria Journal, 2021
Background Ethiopia has made great strides in malaria control over the last two decades. However, this progress has not been uniform and one concern has been reported high rates of malaria transmission in large agricultural development areas in western ...

Intraspecific Transcriptome Variation and Sex-Biased Expression inAnopheles arabiensis [PDF]

Genome Biology and Evolution, 2021
AbstractThe magnitude and functional patterns of intraspecific transcriptional variation in the anophelines, including those of sex-biased genes underlying sex-specific traits relevant for malaria transmission, remain understudied. As a result, how changes in expression levels drive adaptation in these species is poorly understood.

Delayed mating in the malaria vector Anopheles funestus compared to Anopheles arabiensis (Diptera: Culicidae). [PDF]

J Med Entomol
Abstract Mating is a vital behavior for mosquito reproduction, yet it remains poorly understood under captive conditions. We examined the copulation dynamics of 2 key malaria vectors, Anopheles funestus sensu stricto Giles and Anopheles arabiensis Patton, under laboratory settings in Tanzania. We conducted observations in 24-h cycles and

Insecticidal effect of ethnobotanical plant extracts against Anopheles arabiensis under laboratory conditions

Malaria Journal, 2021
The emergence and spread of resistant strains of malaria vectors to chemical insecticides are becoming major problems for malaria vector management. Natural plant products have a vital role to play in the current challenge of malaria control. The current

Increasing insecticide resistance in Anopheles funestus and Anopheles arabiensis in Malawi, 2011–2015 [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2016
La sensibilité des principaux vecteurs du paludisme à Anopheles aux insecticides courants a été surveillée sur une période de 5 ans à travers le Malawi pour informer et guider le programme national de lutte contre le paludisme. Des anophèles et des larves nourris au sang ont été prélevés sur plusieurs sites dans seize districts à travers le pays entre ...
