Comparative susceptibility to Plasmodium falciparum of the molecular forms M and S of Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles arabiensis

Malaria Journal, 2011
Background The different taxa belonging to Anopheles gambiae complex display phenotypic differences that may impact their contribution to malaria transmission.

Anopheles parensis contributes to residual malaria transmission in South Africa

Malaria Journal, 2019
Background Understanding the contribution of outdoor-resting Anopheles mosquitoes to residual malaria transmission is important in terms of scaling up vector control towards malaria elimination in South Africa.

Anopheles mosquito diversity, entomological indicators of malaria transmission and challenges of morphological identification in southwestern Ethiopia

Tropical Medicine and Health, 2023
Background A number of Anopheles species play either a primary or secondary role in malaria transmission. This necessitates understanding the species composition, bionomics, and behaviors of malaria mosquitoes in a particular geographic area, which is ...

DDT and pyrethroid resistance in Anopheles arabiensis from South Africa [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2013
Abstract Background Pyrethroid resistance has been well documented in Anopheles arabiensis, one of the major African malaria vectors, and the predominant malaria vector in South Africa. Methods In this study, the genetic basis of pyrethroid resistance in a selected ...

Genetic engineering for SIT application: a fruit fly‐focused review

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Sterile insect technique (SIT) has become a key component of efficient pest control. Fruit fly pests from the Drosophilidae and Tephritidae families pose a substantial and overwhelmingly increasing threat to the agricultural industry, aggravated by climate change and globalization among other contributors.

POPULATION STRUCTURE OF ANOPHELES ARABIENSIS ON LA RÉUNION ISLAND, INDIAN OCEAN [PDF]

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2005
Anopheles arabiensis, together with Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto, are the most important vectors of human malaria in sub-Saharan Africa. The malaria situation keeps worsening, with 1 to 3 million deaths a year, and alternative strategies are needed to decrease malaria transmission intensity.

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

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

Anopheles arabiensis and Anopheles funestus biting patterns in Dielmo, an area of low level exposure to malaria vectors

Malaria Journal, 2020
In Dielmo, Senegal, the widespread use of long-lasting insecticidal nets has decreased both the incidence of malaria and the density of the Anopheles population.

Selection, counterselection, and conditional gene expression for genetic biocontrol of insects

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Selection, counterselection, and conditional expression can be used for sex separation. Selection (S) and counterselection (CS) genes are linked to the sex chromosomes (e.g., the X and Y chromosomes) to confer sex‐specific selection or counterselection based on the presence or absence of the S or CS genes.

Synthetic biology approaches to generate temperature‐sensitive alleles for the Sterile Insect Technique

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is an environmentally friendly, sustainable pest control approach, which uses large‐scale releases of sterile insects to suppress or eradicate target populations through infertile matings. The efficiency of SIT is enhanced by male‐only releases requiring genetic sexing strains (GSSs) that are classically ...
