Does artemether–lumefantrine administration affect mosquito olfactory behaviour and fitness?

Malaria Journal, 2019
Background Artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) is the recommended treatment against uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum infections, and ACT is widely used. It has been shown that gametocytes may be present after ACT and transmission to mosquitoes

Validation of a method for the dry preservation and rehydration of Anopheles gambiae sensu lato for parity analysis to assess the impact of vector control measures in the field

Parasites & Vectors, 2023
Background As the control of malaria remains heavily dependent on vector management interventions, it is important to understand the impact of these on mosquito populations.

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.

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.

Characterization of the reproductive behavior of the natural population of Anopheles coluzzii and Anopheles gambiae in Senegal.

, 2019
Background The main malaria vector in Africa, Anopheles gambiae s.s., was originally considered as one species with two different forms M and S. These are now considered to be two separate species Anopheles coluzzii and Anopheles gambiae, respectively.

Oviposition Response to Light With Different Spectra in the Crepuscular Moth Grapholita molesta

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.
The crepuscular moth Grapholita molesta can discriminate differences in light wavelength, exhibiting a strong preference to lay eggs in UV light. ABSTRACT The light spectrum is a critical visual feature influencing insect behavior. The crepuscular moth Grapholita molesta (Busck), a significant pest of stone and pome fruits worldwide, has been shown to ...

Molecular mechanism of ATP‐binding cassette transporter‐mediated insecticide resistance

New Plant Protection, Volume 2, Issue 3, September 2025.
Advances in functional genomics (RNAi and CRISPR/Cas9) and artificial intelligence‐driven structure prediction (e.g., AlphaFold) are elucidating how ATP‐binding cassette transporters mediate insecticide resistance to both synthetic chemicals and Bacillus thuringiensis toxins.

A combination of metabolic resistance and high frequency of the 1014F kdr mutation is driving pyrethroid resistance in Anopheles coluzzii population from Guinea savanna of Cameroon

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background The scale-up in the distribution of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying has significantly reduced malaria burden and mortality.

Multiple insecticide resistance target sites in adult field strains of An. gambiae (s.l.) from southeastern Senegal

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background High coverage of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) are the cornerstones of vector control strategy in Senegal where insecticide resistance by the target vectors species is a great of concern.
