The distribution of two major malaria vectors, Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles arabiensis, in Nigeria [PDF]

Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2001
The distribution of Anopheles gambiae and An. arabiensis across the ecological zones of Nigeria (arid savanna in the north gradually turns into humid forest in the south) was investigated. Results of the present study were compared to the distributions determined from samples of indoor-resting females reported by an earlier study over 20 years ago ...

Indoor and outdoor malaria vector surveillance in western Kenya: implications for better understanding of residual transmission

Malaria Journal, 2017
Background The widespread use of indoor-based malaria vector control interventions has been shown to alter the behaviour of vectors in Africa. There is an increasing concern that such changes could sustain residual transmission.

Status of insecticide susceptibility in Anopheles gambiae s.l. from malaria surveillance sites in The Gambia. [PDF]

, 2009
BACKGROUND: Vector control is an effective way of reducing malaria transmission. The main vector control methods include the use of insecticide-treated bed nets and indoor residual spraying (IRS).

Co-occurrence and distribution of East (L1014S) and West (L1014F) African knock-down resistance in Anopheles gambiae sensu lato population of Tanzania. [PDF]

, 2014
OBJECTIVE: Insecticide resistance molecular markers can provide sensitive indicators of resistance development in Anopheles vector populations. Assaying these makers is of paramount importance in the resistance monitoring programme.

Evaluating preservation methods for identifying Anopheles gambiae s.s. and Anopheles arabiensis complex mosquitoes species using near infra-red spectroscopy. [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been successfully used on fresh and RNAlater-preserved members of the Anopheles gambiae complex to identify sibling species and age.

Residual malaria transmission and the role of Anopheles arabiensis and Anopheles melas in central Senegal

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2023
Abstract Understanding the behavior and ecology of local malaria vectors is essential for the effectiveness of the commonly used vector-targeted malaria control tools in areas of low malaria transmission. This study was conducted to determine species composition, biting behavior and infectivity of the major Anopheles vectors of ...

Zoophagic behaviour of anopheline mosquitoes in southwest Ethiopia: opportunity for malaria vector control

Parasites & Vectors, 2015
Background Increased understanding of the feeding behaviours of malaria vectors is important to determine the frequency of human-vector contact and to implement effective vector control interventions.

Is aging raw cattle urine efficient for sampling Anopheles arabiensis Patton? [PDF]

, 2010
Background: To ensure sustainable routine surveillance of mosquito vectors, simple, effective and ethically acceptable tools are required. As a part of that, we evaluated the efficiency of resting boxes baited with fresh and aging cattle urine for indoor

A microsporidian impairs Plasmodium falciparum transmission in Anopheles arabiensis mosquitoes [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2020
Abstract A possible malaria control approach involves the dissemination in mosquitoes of inherited symbiotic microbes to block Plasmodium transmission. However, in the Anopheles gambiae complex, the primary African vectors of malaria ...
