Role of Anopheles (Cellia) rufipes (Gough, 1910) and other local anophelines in human malaria transmission in the northern savannah of Cameroon: a crosssectional survey [PDF]

, 2017
Background As part of a study to determine the impact of insecticide resistance on the effectiveness of longlasting insecticide treated nets (LLINs) in the north of Cameroon, the unexpectedly high density and anthropophilic behaviour of Anopheles ...

Signatures of adaptation at key insecticide resistance loci in Anopheles gambiae in Southern Ghana revealed by reduced-coverage WGS

Scientific Reports
Resistance to insecticides and adaptation to a diverse range of environments present challenges to Anopheles gambiae s.l. mosquito control efforts in sub-Saharan Africa.

Exposure of Anopheles mosquitoes to trypanosomes reduces reproductive fitness and enhances susceptibility to Plasmodium.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020
During a blood meal, female Anopheles mosquitoes are potentially exposed to diverse microbes in addition to the malaria parasite, Plasmodium. Human and animal African trypanosomiases are frequently co-endemic with malaria in Africa.

Must Epidemiologically Impactful Vector Control Interventions Disrupt Mosquito Population Structure? A Case Study of a Cluster‐Randomised Controlled Trial

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 18, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Large epidemiological impacts resulting from disease vector control interventions are typically associated with significant disruption of vector populations. While vector density is a frequently measured response, impacts on demography and connectivity are suspected but rarely quantified.

Validation of a method for the dry preservation and rehydration of Anopheles gambiae sensu lato for parity analysis to assess the impact of vector control measures in the field

Parasites & Vectors, 2023
Background As the control of malaria remains heavily dependent on vector management interventions, it is important to understand the impact of these on mosquito populations.

Differential effects of azithromycin, doxycycline and co-trimoxazole in ingested blood on the vectorial capacity of malaria mosquitoes [PDF]

, 2016
Background.  The gut microbiota of malaria vector mosquitoes grows after a blood meal and limits Plasmodium infection. We previously showed that penicillin and streptomycin in the ingested blood affect bacterial growth and positively impact mosquito ...

Climate Change Favors African Malaria Vector Mosquitoes

Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 11, November 2025.
Malaria is a deadly parasitic disease that is transmitted by mosquitoes. This study investigates occurrence patterns of malaria mosquito species to predict how climate change will affect their range in sub‐Saharan African, where most malaria deaths occur.
