Dual role of the Anopheles coluzzii Venus Kinase Receptor in both larval growth and immunity

, 2019
International audienceVector-borne diseases and especially malaria are responsible for more than half million deaths annually. The increase of insecticide resistance in wild populations of Anopheles malaria vectors emphasises the need for novel vector ...

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.

Plasmodium falciparum sporozoite loads in Anopheles gambiae s.l. across agro-ecological zones of Benin: a cross-sectional field study

Tropical Medicine and Health
Background Malaria transmission depends critically on the vectorial competence of Anopheles mosquitoes, which is partly reflected by the quantity of infectious Plasmodium falciparum forms harboured in the salivary glands.

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 ...

Genetic and ecological processes of speciation in the Anopheles coluzzii and Anopheles gambiae sibling species [PDF]

, 2019
Malaria is a leading cause of death, killing thousands every year. Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest mortality rate, with pregnant women and children under the age of five most affected. The culprits responsible for transmission of the disease are mosquitoes of the genus Anopheles.

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 ...
