Composition of Anopheles coluzzii and Anopheles gambiae microbiota from larval to adult stages

Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2014
During their immature life stages, malaria mosquitoes are exposed to a wide array of microbes and contaminants from the aquatic habitats. Although prior studies have suggested that environmental exposure shapes the microbial community structure in the adult mosquito, most reports have focused on laboratory-based experiments and on a single mosquito ...

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

Temporal and biting dynamics of the chromosomal inversion 2La in the malaria vectors Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles coluzzii in Bangui, Central African Republic

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
The chromosomal rearrangement 2La has been directly involved in the ecological and deadly epidemiological success of the malaria mosquitoes Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles coluzzii in sub-Saharan Africa.

Low prevalence of Plasmodium and absence of malaria transmission in Conakry, Guinea : prospects for elimination [PDF]

, 2016
Over the past 15 years, mortality and morbidity due to malaria have been reduced substantially in sub-Saharan Africa and local elimination has been achieved in some settings.

Dissecting the organ specificity of insecticide resistance candidate genes in Anopheles gambiae : known and novel candidate genes [PDF]

, 2014
Background The elevated expression of enzymes with insecticide metabolism activity can lead to high levels of insecticide resistance in the malaria vector, Anopheles gambiae.

Uncovering transposable element variants and their potential adaptive impact in urban populations of the malaria vector Anopheles coluzzii

, 2021
V2.[Background] Anopheles coluzzii is one of the primary vectors of human malaria in sub-Saharan Africa. Recently, it has colonized the main cities of Central Africa threatening vector control programs. The adaptation of An.

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 ...

Genetic variation at the Cyp6m2 putative insecticide resistance locus in Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles coluzzii [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2020
Abstract Background The emergence of insecticide resistance is a major threat to malaria control programmes in Africa, with many different factors contributing to insecticide resistance in its vectors, Anopheles mosquitoes.

Tracing the origin of the early wet‐season Anopheles coluzzii in the Sahel

Evolutionary Applications, 2017
AbstractIn 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 of Anopheles coluzzii is descended from the preceding late RS generation at the same ...
