Insecticide resistance status of Anopheles arabiensis in irrigated and non-irrigated areas in western Kenya

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background Malaria control in Kenya is based on case management and vector control using long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS).

Effects of Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis on Anopheles arabiensis

Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 2011
Studies have shown that Culex quinquefasciatus oviposits fewer eggs in water treated with Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (Bti). The present study examined the effects of Bti on adults of Anopheles arabiensis. Anopheles arabiensis oviposited in both treated and untreated water with a similar frequency.

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.

Comparative attraction of Anopheles quadriannulatus and Anopheles arabiensis to humans estimated by comparing their relative abundance in samples of mosquito larvae and adults collected across an ecologically heterogeneous landscape in southern Tanzania Utafiti wa kulinganisha mvuto wa mbu aina ya Anopheles arabiensis na Anopheles quadriannulatus kwa binadamu katika mandhari yenye mazingira mbalimbali kusini mwa Tanzania [PDF]

Med Vet Entomol
Light and barrier traps near human activity selectively captured more Anopheles arabiensis, indicating a strong attraction to humans and explicit bias in adult sampling methods. Traps placed in open glades away from humans captured species proportions similar to larval samples, suggesting reduced sampling bias in those settings. Visits by entomological

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.

Status of insecticide susceptibility in Anopheles arabiensis and detection of the knockdown resistance mutation (kdr) concerning agricultural practices from Northern Sudan state, Sudan

Journal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, 2021
Chemical control has been the most efficient method in mosquito control, the development of insecticide resistance in target populations has a significant impact on vector control.

Additional evidence on the efficacy of different Akirin vaccines assessed on Anopheles arabiensis (Diptera: Culicidae)

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background Anopheles arabiensis is an opportunistic malaria vector that rests and feeds outdoors, circumventing current indoor vector control methods. Furthermore, this vector will readily feed on both animals and humans.

Toxicity and Oviposition Deterrent Activities of Thyme Essential Oils against Anopheles arabiensis

, 2021
Background. Malaria is one of the deadliest mosquito-borne diseases in sub-Saharan Africa and Ethiopia. Owing to their costs and environmental issues, synthetic insecticides are poor choices to control mosquitoes.

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 ...
