First detection of N1575Y mutation in pyrethroid resistant Anopheles gambiae in Southern Côte d’Ivoire [version 1; referees: 2 approved]

Wellcome Open Research, 2017
Background. The intensification of insecticide use for both public health and agriculture in Africa has contributed to growing insecticide resistance. Today, resistance to World Health Organization (WHO)-approved insecticide classes is widespread.

Tracing the origin of the early wet‐season Anopheles coluzzii in the Sahel

Evolutionary Applications, 2017
AbstractIn arid environments, the source of the malaria mosquito populations that re‐establish soon after first rains remains a puzzle and alternative explanations have been proposed. Using genetic data, we evaluated whether the early rainy season (RS) population of Anopheles coluzzii is descended from the preceding late RS generation at the same ...

Presence of Plasmodium vivax in Anopheles gambiae and absence in other malaria vectors in Cove-Zagnanando-Ouinhi health zone in southern Benin, West Africa

Malaria Journal
Background Malaria remains a major public health problem in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in Benin. The present study aims to evaluate the different Plasmodium species transmitted by malaria vectors in the communes of Cove, Zagnanado and Ouinhi ...

Characterization and abundance of malaria vectors in Sakassou, Central Côte d’Ivoire

Malaria Journal
Background Before implementing vector control interventions, it is important to assess the mosquito species composition and their biting and resting behaviour.

First report of the pyrethroid-resistance-associated V1016I mutation in Aedes aegypti at the seaport of Cotonou, Benin, West Africa

Tropical Medicine and Health
Background Monitoring insecticide resistance in disease vectors is a key strategy to anticipate emerging and re-emerging diseases, particularly in the context of interventions such as vector control interventions.

Impact of mating on Anopheles coluzzii in response to infection

, 2017
Mating causes dramatic changes of female physiology, behaviour, and immunity in many insects, often inducing oogenesis, oviposition, and refractoriness to further mating. Females from the Anopheles gambiae species complex typically mate only once in their lifetime during which they receive sperm and seminal fluid proteins as well as a mating plug that ...

Behavioral ecology and spatial dynamics of Anopheles coluzzii swarms

Swarming is a feature of the mating system of malaria mosquitoes, yet the mechanisms shaping its dynamics and the contribution of females remain largely overlooked. In this thesis, I investigate the behavioral ecology and spatial dynamics of Anopheles coluzzii swarms using a combination of laboratory and semi-field recordings with three-dimensional ...

Natural variation in timing of egg hatching, response to water agitation, and bidirectional selection of early and late hatching strains of the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae sensu lato

Parasites & Vectors
Background Eggs of anopheline mosquitoes hatch within a few days of laying and require high levels of humidity to survive. Assessing natural variation in egg hatching and its environmental and genetic determinants in sibling species of the malaria vector

Species composition and distribution of the Anopheles gambiae complex circulating in Kinshasa

GigaByte
Understanding the distribution of Anopheles species is essential for planning and implementing malaria control programmes. This study assessed the composition and distribution of cryptic species of the main malaria vector, the Anopheles ...
