Molecular mechanism of ATP‐binding cassette transporter‐mediated insecticide resistance

New Plant Protection, Volume 2, Issue 3, September 2025.
Advances in functional genomics (RNAi and CRISPR/Cas9) and artificial intelligence‐driven structure prediction (e.g., AlphaFold) are elucidating how ATP‐binding cassette transporters mediate insecticide resistance to both synthetic chemicals and Bacillus thuringiensis toxins.

Dominance and Diversity of Anopheles gambiae s.l (Female Mosquitoes) Collected from Six Local Government Areas in Adamawa State, Northeastern Nigeria

Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management
Malaria continues to pose a formidable health challenge, particularly in regions where Anopheles mosquitoes are highly effective vectors for disease transmission.

A combination of metabolic resistance and high frequency of the 1014F kdr mutation is driving pyrethroid resistance in Anopheles coluzzii population from Guinea savanna of Cameroon

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background The scale-up in the distribution of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying has significantly reduced malaria burden and mortality.

Vector Abundance and Genetic Diversity of Anopheles Mosquitoes Collected in a Laboratory–Office Complex in Vom, Nigeria: Implications for Vector Control

Public Health Challenges, Volume 4, Issue 3, September 2025.
Genetically diverse Anopheles spp. were detected in a laboratory–office complex in Vom, Nigeria, highlighting workplace malaria risk. Molecular barcoding identified Anopheles funestus, Anopheles gambiae s.l., and Anopheles rufipes. These findings emphasize the need to integrate workplace environments into malaria control strategies through subnational ...

Insecticide susceptibility status of Anopheles gambiae (s.l.) in South-West Cameroon four years after long-lasting insecticidal net mass distribution

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Members of the Anopheles gambiae (s.l.) complex are one of the major vectors of malaria in Africa. LLINs and IRS are the most effective tools used in vector control of malaria.

Lords of the flies: dipteran migrants are diverse, abundant and ecologically important

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 4, Page 1635-1659, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Insect migrants are hugely abundant, with recent studies identifying the megadiverse order Diptera as the major component of many migratory assemblages. Despite this, their migratory behaviour has been widely overlooked in favour of more ‘charismatic’ migrant insects such as butterflies, dragonflies, and moths.

The effect of size on mate selection, fecundity and survival in Culex pipiens mosquitoes

Physiological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 2, Page 204-215, June 2025.
Larval diet affects male and female adult size, female fecundity and female survival. Large non‐blood–fed females lived longer than small non‐blood–fed females. Mate size did not influence mating rate (insemination status). Even though larger females are more fit, males mated equally to large and small females when given the option. Blood feeding has a

Chemical composition and Larvicidal efficacy of Ficus sycomorus leaf extract against major malaria vector Anopheles coluzzii

The Proceedings of the Nigerian Academy of Science
Resistance to synthetic insecticides used in control of malaria vectors is a major threat to malaria control globally. Natural insecticides of plant origin provide environmentally safe alternativess. This study characterized the phytochemical contents of

Genomic Analysis Reveals a New Cryptic Taxon Within the Anopheles gambiae Complex With a Distinct Insecticide Resistance Profile in the Coast of East Africa

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 10, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Anopheles mosquitoes are major malaria vectors, encompassing several species complexes with diverse life histories, transmission risks and insecticide resistance profiles that challenge malaria control efforts. This study investigated the genetic structure and insecticide resistance profiles of Anopheles gambiae complex mosquitoes in Tanzania.

Insect repellents mediate species-specific olfactory behaviours in mosquitoes

Malaria Journal, 2020
Background The species-specific mode of action for DEET and many other mosquito repellents is often unclear. Confusion may arise for many reasons. First, the response of a single mosquito species is often used to represent all mosquito species.
