Blood meal identification in the cryptic species Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles coluzzii using MALDI-TOF MS [PDF]

Parasite, 2018
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) has recently emerged in entomology as a technique to identify arthropods and their blood meal source. In this study, female Anopheles gambiae were fed on five host blood sources: ocelot (Leopardus pardalis), binturong (Arctictis binturong), springbok (Antidorcas

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 ...

Investigation of the seasonal microbiome of Anopheles coluzzii mosquitoes in Mali

PLOS ONE, 2018
The poorly understood mechanisms of dry season persistence of Anopheles spp. mosquitoes through the dry season in Africa remain a critical gap in our knowledge of Plasmodium disease transmission. While it is thought that adult mosquitoes remain in a dormant state throughout this seven-month dry season, the nature of this state remains unknown and has ...

Oviposition and Development ofAnopheles coluzziicoetzee and Wilkerson in Salt Water [PDF]

Malaria Research and Treatment, 2019
Anopheles coluzziiis an important vector of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa particularly of the most dangerous malaria parasite.It completes its life cycle in water and a change in physicochemical properties particularly that of salinity of water may affect egg laying and perhaps the development of eggs to maturity. Studies have shown that climate change

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 ...

BiteOscope, an open platform to study mosquito biting behavior

eLife, 2020
Female mosquitoes need a blood meal to reproduce, and in obtaining this essential nutrient they transmit deadly pathogens. Although crucial for the spread of mosquito-borne diseases, blood feeding remains poorly understood due to technological ...

Intense malarial transmission during the dry season in irrigated rice-growing areas: a case study in Sakassou, Côte d'Ivoire

Journal of Water and Health
The health district of Sakassou is one of the 83 health districts in Côte d'Ivoire, located in a zone with very high malarial transmission rates, with an incidence rate of ≥40% Therefore, to guide vector control methods more effectively, it was crucial ...
