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 ...

Organophosphate and carbamate susceptibility profiling of Anopheles gambiae sl. across different ecosystems in southern Benin [version 2; peer review: 2 approved]

Wellcome Open Research
Background To overcome the spread of high pyrethroid resistance in the main malaria vectors and malaria disease persistence, it is crucial to look for effective and better resistance management strategies.

Relationship between the L1014F mutation in the kdr gene and the endophagic and exophagic behaviors of Anopheles coluzzii and Anopheles gambiae in Benin

Journal of Basic and Applied Zoology
Background The increasing resistance exhibited by Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles coluzzii to insecticides represents a major challenge for malaria vector control strategies. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the L1014F mutation in

Ingestion of attractive toxic sugar baits containing ivermectin before and after blood feeding affects the biology and reproduction of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae)

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Attractive toxic sugar bait containing ivermectin (ATSB‐IVM) ingestion markedly reduced blood feeding, survival, oviposition, egg production and larval hatching, with the strongest effects when baits were ingested before blood feeding. Timing of ingestion (48–96 h before or after blood feeding) shaped sublethal impacts across the first and second ...

Introgression between Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles coluzzii in Burkina Faso and its associations with kdr resistance and Plasmodium infection

Malaria Journal, 2019
Background Insecticide resistance in Anopheles coluzzii mosquitoes has become widespread throughout West Africa including in Burkina Faso. The insecticide resistance allele (kdr or L1014F) is a prime indicator that is highly correlated with phenotypic ...

Mosquito and arbovirus surveillance in wetlands of South‐East England: Comparison of two adult mosquito traps, use of a novel trap with FTA™ cards and arbovirus testing

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 407-421, June 2026.
Trap performance: Mosquito Magnet® captured significantly more mosquitoes overall, while BG‐Sentinel showed greater species evenness and was more effective for Culex pipiens s.l. and broader species representation. Spatial variation: Mosquito abundance and species composition varied significantly between wetlands, highlighting the importance of site ...

Sibling species of the major malaria vector Anopheles gambiae display divergent preferences for aquatic breeding sites in southern Nigeria

Malaria Journal
Background When integrated with insecticide-treated bed nets, larval control of Anopheles mosquitoes could fast-track reductions in the incidence of human malaria.

Identification and mapping of potential and highly likely vectors for selected vector‐borne diseases in the EU and neighbouring countries

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract This report addresses Term of Reference 1.2 by providing a comprehensive knowledge‐mapping of arthropod vector species competent to transmit selected vector‐borne diseases (VBDs) including VBDs listed under Regulation (EU) 2016/429 and Regulation (EU) 2020/687, as well as additional non‐listed pathogens with potential epidemiological relevance.

Ecological plasticity to ions concentration determines genetic response and dominance of Anopheles coluzzii larvae in urban coastal habitats of Central Africa

Scientific Reports, 2021
In Central Africa, the malaria vector Anopheles coluzzii is predominant in urban and coastal habitats. However, little is known about the environmental factors that may be involved in this process.
