Photoperiodic responses of Sahelian malaria mosquitoes Anopheles coluzzii and An. arabiensis [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2017
Background Throughout large parts of sub-Saharan Africa, seasonal malaria transmission follows mosquito density, approaching zero during the dry season and peaking during the wet season.

Assessment of the ecologically dependent post-zygotic isolation between Anopheles coluzzii and Anopheles gambiae. [PDF]

PLOS ONE, 2020
Within the Anopheles gambiae complex, the sibling species An. coluzzii and An. gambiae are undergoing sympatric speciation. These species are characterized by rare hybrids in most of their geographical distribution.

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

Malaria Journal, 2017
Background: The reproductive success and population dynamics, of Anopheles malaria mosquitoes is strongly influenced by the oviposition site selection of gravid females.

Spontaneous mutation rate estimates for the principal malaria vectors Anopheles coluzzii and Anopheles stephensi [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2022
Using high-depth whole genome sequencing of F0 mating pairs and multiple individual F1 offspring, we estimated the nuclear mutation rate per generation in the malaria vectors Anopheles coluzzii and Anopheles stephensi by detecting de novo genetic ...

Microsporidia MB is found predominantly associated with Anopheles gambiae s.s and Anopheles coluzzii in Ghana [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2021
A vertically transmitted microsporidian, Microsporidia MB, with the ability to disrupt Plasmodium development was reported in Anopheles arabiensis from Kenya, East Africa.

Anopheles coluzzii and Anopheles amharicus, new members of the Anopheles gambiae complex

Zootaxa, 2013
Two new species within the Anopheles gambiae complex are here described and named. Based on molecular and bionomical evidence, the An. gambiae molecular "M form" is named Anopheles coluzzii Coetzee & Wilkerson sp.

Mating competitiveness of sterile male Anopheles coluzzii in large cages [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2014
BACKGROUND: Understanding the factors that account for male mating competitiveness is critical to the development of the sterile insect technique (SIT).

Population genetics of Anopheles coluzzii immune pathways and genes.

G3 Genes|Genomes|Genetics, 2014
International audienceNatural selection is expected to drive adaptive evolution in genes involved in host-pathogen interactions. In this study, we use molecular population genetic analyses to understand how natural selection operates on the immune system

Mitochondrial Variation in Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles coluzzii: Phylogeographic Legacy and Mitonuclear Associations With Metabolic Resistance to Pathogens and Insecticides. [PDF]

Genome Biol Evol
Mitochondrial DNA has been a popular marker in phylogeography, phylogeny, and molecular ecology, but its complex evolution is increasingly recognized.

Antibiotic Treatment in Anopheles coluzzii Affects Carbon and Nitrogen Metabolism [PDF]

Pathogens, 2020
International audienceThe mosquito microbiota reduces the vector competence of Anopheles to Plasmodium and affects host fitness; it is therefore considered as a potential target to reduce malaria transmission.
