Experiences of Community Members and Health Workers Regarding Malaria Control Programmes in the Rural Ingwavuma Community, uMkhanyakude District Municipality, KwaZulu‐Natal Province, South Africa

Public Health Challenges, Volume 4, Issue 4, December 2025.
Community and healthcare worker perspectives reveal strong acceptance of malaria control programmes in the rural settings of South Africa, though challenges persist with cross‐border movement, local protests and negative spraying experiences. Strengthening community engagement remains critical for sustaining malaria elimination efforts.

Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) for Rapid Identification of Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles arabiensis Mosquitoes [PDF]

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2009
The main malaria vectors of sub-Saharan Africa, Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto and Anopheles arabiensis are morphologically indistinguishable, but often occur in sympatry and differ in feeding preference and vector competence. It is important to assess vector species identity for understanding the vectorial system and establishing appropriate vector ...

Rapid Discrimination between Anopheles gambiae s.s. and Anopheles arabiensis by High-Resolution Melt (HRM) Analysis [PDF]

Journal of Biomolecular Techniques : JBT, 2013
There is a need for more cost-effective options to more accurately discriminate among members of the Anopheles gambiae complex, particularly An. gambiae and Anopheles arabiensis. These species are morphologically indistinguishable in the adult stage, have overlapping distributions, but are behaviorally and ecologically different, yet both are efficient

Must Epidemiologically Impactful Vector Control Interventions Disrupt Mosquito Population Structure? A Case Study of a Cluster‐Randomised Controlled Trial

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 18, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Large epidemiological impacts resulting from disease vector control interventions are typically associated with significant disruption of vector populations. While vector density is a frequently measured response, impacts on demography and connectivity are suspected but rarely quantified.

The role of grass volatiles on oviposition site selection by Anopheles arabiensis and Anopheles coluzzii [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2017
The reproductive success and population dynamics, of Anopheles malaria mosquitoes is strongly influenced by the oviposition site selection of gravid females. Mosquitoes select oviposition sites at different spatial scales, starting with selecting a habitat in which to search.

Bionomics and distribution of malaria vectors in Kisumu city, Western Kenya: implications for urban malaria transmission

Malaria Journal
Background Increasing unplanned urbanization in tropical Africa may create new niches for malaria vectors, raising transmission risk, yet control efforts focus on rural ecosystems.

Climate Change Favors African Malaria Vector Mosquitoes

Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 11, November 2025.
Malaria is a deadly parasitic disease that is transmitted by mosquitoes. This study investigates occurrence patterns of malaria mosquito species to predict how climate change will affect their range in sub‐Saharan African, where most malaria deaths occur.

Population Genetic Structure of Anopheles arabiensis Mosquitoes in Ethiopia and Eritrea [PDF]

Journal of Heredity, 2003
This study examined the population genetic structure of the major malaria vector, Anopheles arabiensis mosquitoes, in Ethiopia and Eritrea. Ethiopia and Eritrea have great geographical diversity, with high mountains, rugged plateaus, deep gorges, and rolling plains.

Vector Abundance and Genetic Diversity of Anopheles Mosquitoes Collected in a Laboratory–Office Complex in Vom, Nigeria: Implications for Vector Control

Public Health Challenges, Volume 4, Issue 3, September 2025.
Genetically diverse Anopheles spp. were detected in a laboratory–office complex in Vom, Nigeria, highlighting workplace malaria risk. Molecular barcoding identified Anopheles funestus, Anopheles gambiae s.l., and Anopheles rufipes. These findings emphasize the need to integrate workplace environments into malaria control strategies through subnational ...

Sibling species of the major malaria vector Anopheles gambiae display divergent preferences for aquatic breeding sites in southern Nigeria

Malaria Journal
Background When integrated with insecticide-treated bed nets, larval control of Anopheles mosquitoes could fast-track reductions in the incidence of human malaria.
