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.

Targeting Bottlenecks in Malaria Transmission: Antibody‐Epitope Descriptions Guide the Design of Next‐Generation Biomedical Interventions

Immunological Reviews, Volume 330, Issue 1, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Malaria continues to pose a significant burden to global health. Thus, a strong need exists for the development of a diverse panel of intervention strategies and modalities to combat malaria and achieve elimination and eradication goals. Deploying interventions that target bottlenecks in the transmission life cycle of the causative agent of ...

Characterization of swarming and mating behaviour between Anopheles coluzzii and Anopheles melas in a sympatry area of Benin

Acta Tropica, 2014
The swarm structure of two sibling species, Anopheles gambiae coluzzii and Anopheles melas, was characterize to explore the ecological and environmental parameters associated with the formation of swarms and their spatial distribution. Swarms and breeding sites were searched and sampled between January and December 2010, and larval and adult samples ...

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

Strong resistance to β‐cyfluthrin in a strain of the beetle Alphitobius diaperinus: a de novo transcriptome analysis

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 1, Page 209-226, February 2025.
An RNA‐Seq approach, enhanced by biochemical analyses, established that one of the main reasons for the high resistance to β‐cyfluthrin in an Alphitobius diaperinus strain comes from high basal activities for detoxification enzymes. Abstract The lesser mealworm, Alphitobius diaperinus, is an invasive tenebrionid beetle and a vector of pathogens. Due to

Rapid high throughput SYBR green assay for identifying the malaria vectors Anopheles arabiensis, Anopheles coluzzii and Anopheles gambiae s.s. Giles

PLOS ONE, 2018
AbstractThe Anopheles gambiae sensu lato species complex consists of a number of cryptic species with different habitats and behaviours. These morphologically indistinct species are identified by chromosome banding and molecular diagnostic techniques which are still under improvement even though the current SINE method for identification between An ...

Homozygous multiple‐insecticide resistance in Australian invasive serpentine leafminer Liriomyza huidobrensis (Blanchard) (Diptera: Agromyzidae)

Austral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 1, February 2025.
Abstract In October 2020, Liriomyza huidobrensis (serpentine leafminer [SLM]) was first detected in Western Sydney, New South Wales (NSW), and subsequently Southern Queensland (QLD). Control failures were reported, and insecticide resistance was confirmed via bioassay, but mechanisms causing resistance remained unknown.

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.

Expanding the transgene expression toolbox of the malaria vector Anopheles stephensi

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 104-110, February 2025.
An. stephensi lipophorin (lp) gene fragment drives expression of the ZsYellow marker protein in the fat body of aquatic and adult life stages of An. stephensi validating its utility for expression in these tissues. The lp‐driven expression is distinguishable from the commonly utilised 3xP3 promoter, suggesting that both promoters could be used ...

Physico-chemical characterization of Anopheles gambiae s.l. breeding sites and kdr mutations in urban areas of Cotonou and Natitingou, Benin

BMC Infectious Diseases
Background This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the physicochemical characteristics of An. gambiae s.s. and An. coluzzii breeding sites, the susceptibility profiles to commonly used insecticides in public health, and the underlying ...
