Neemazal ® as a possible alternative control tool for malaria and African trypanosomiasis? [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Research efforts to identify possible alternative control tools for malaria and African trypanosomiasis are needed. One promising approach relies on the use of traditional plant remedies with insecticidal activities.

Species Delimitation Using Genomic Data: Options and Limitations

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 8, April 2025.
ABSTRACT The most effective approaches for species discovery and species validation with genomic data remain underexplored. This study evaluates the merits and limitations of phylogenetic approaches based on the multispecies coalescent model and population genetic approaches for species discovery, i.e., species delimitation in the absence of prior ...

Insect repellents mediate species-specific olfactory behaviours in mosquitoes

Malaria Journal, 2020
Background The species-specific mode of action for DEET and many other mosquito repellents is often unclear. Confusion may arise for many reasons. First, the response of a single mosquito species is often used to represent all mosquito species.

Targeting Bottlenecks in Malaria Transmission: Antibody‐Epitope Descriptions Guide the Design of Next‐Generation Biomedical Interventions

Immunological Reviews, Volume 330, Issue 1, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Malaria continues to pose a significant burden to global health. Thus, a strong need exists for the development of a diverse panel of intervention strategies and modalities to combat malaria and achieve elimination and eradication goals. Deploying interventions that target bottlenecks in the transmission life cycle of the causative agent of ...

Multiple insecticide resistance in an infected population of the malaria vector Anopheles funestus in Benin. [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND Knowledge on the spread and distribution of insecticide resistance in major malaria vectors such as Anopheles funestus is key to implement successful resistance management strategies across Africa. Here, by assessing the susceptibility status

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.

Fresh-blood-free diet for rearing malaria mosquito vectors [PDF]

, 2018
Mosquito breeding depends on the supply of fresh vertebrate blood, a major bottleneck for large-scale production of Anopheles spp. Feeding alternatives to fresh blood are thus a priority for research, outdoor large-cage trials and control interventions ...
