Critical Steps of Plasmodium falciparum Ookinete Maturation [PDF]

, 2020
The egress and fertilization of Plasmodium gametes and development of a motile ookinete are the first crucial steps that mediate the successful transmission of the malaria parasites from humans to the Anopheles vector. However, limited information exists

The implementation of long-lasting insecticidal bed nets has differential effects on the genetic structure of the African malaria vectors in the Anopheles gambiae complex in Dielmo, Senegal

Malaria Journal, 2017
Background Mosquitoes belonging to the Anopheles gambiae complex are the main vectors of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa. Among these, An. gambiae, Anopheles coluzzii and Anopheles arabiensis are the most efficient vectors and are largely distributed in ...

The last bastion? X-chromosome genotyping of Anopheles gambiae species-pair males from a hybrid zone reveals complex recombination within the major candidate ‘genomic island of speciation’ [PDF]

, 2016
Speciation with gene flow may be aided by reduced recombination helping to build linkage between genes involved in the early stages of reproductive isolation.

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

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.

Tracing the origin of the early wet-season Anopheles coluzzii in the Sahel [PDF]

, 2017
In 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

Polymorphic inversion 2La frequencies associated with ecotypes in populations of Anopheles coluzzii from Southwest Nigeria

Scientific African, 2021
Chromosomal inversion 2La play a vital role in local adaptation of the malaria vector Anopheles. This polymorphic inversion, linked with ecological and behavioural plasticity, ensures adaptation of these species and continued transmission of the malaria ...

Spatio-temporal variations of Anopheles coluzzii and An. gambiae and their Plasmodium infectivity rates in Lobito, Angola [PDF]

, 2015
From 2003 to 2007, entomological surveys were conducted in Lobito town (Benguela Province, Angola) to determine which Anopheles species were present and to identify the vectors responsible for malaria transmission in areas where workers of the Sonamet ...
