Genetics and immunity of Anopheles response to the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae overlap with immunity to Plasmodium

Scientific Reports, 2022
Entomopathogenic fungi have been explored as a potential biopesticide to counteract the insecticide resistance issue in mosquitoes. However, little is known about the possibility that genetic resistance to fungal biopesticides could evolve in mosquito ...

Spatial Heterogeneity of CYP9K1 Gene Overexpression Driving Cross‐Resistance to Insecticide in Anopheles Mosquitoes Across Sub‐Saharan Africa: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Insecticide resistance in Anopheles mosquitoes poses a growing challenge to malaria elimination efforts across sub‐Saharan Africa, threatening the continued effectiveness of frontline interventions. Among the metabolic mechanisms driving resistance, the cytochrome P450 monooxygenase gene CYP9K1 has been increasingly associated with detoxification and ...

Unexpected anthropophagic behaviour in Anopheles quadriannulatus. [PDF]

, 2001
The strongly anthropophilic behaviour of Anopheles gambiae Giles sensu stricto (Diptera: Culicidae), the most important malaria vector in Africa, has been demonstrated by field and laboratory studies. Other members of the An.

Larvicidal and Ovicidal Effects of Methanol Extracts From Selected Ethiopian Medicinal Plants Against Anopheles arabiensis and Aedes aegypti

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Synthetic insecticides face challenges, such as resistance, environmental damage, and harm to nontarget species, highlighting the need for alternative methods. Medicinal plants, along with their bioactive compounds, offer a promising solution. Objective This study investigated the efficacy of methanol extracts derived from traditionally used

Seasonality and Locality Affect the Diversity of Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles coluzzii Midgut Microbiota from Ghana

PLOS ONE, 2016
Symbiotic bacteria can have important implications in the development and competence of disease vectors. In Anopheles mosquitoes, the composition of the midgut microbiota is largely influenced by the larval breeding site, but the exact factors shaping this composition are currently unknown.

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.

Mapping the Insecticide Resistance Landscape of Malaria Vectors in Odisha, India (1993–2024): A Scoping Review

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Vector‐borne​ diseases (VBDs) are a serious threat to public health, globally. Different genera of mosquitoes, acting as disease vectors, transmit diseases such as malaria, filariasis, dengue, chikungunya, Zika fever, and others. Malaria in humans is caused by Plasmodium species transmitted by Anopheles mosquitoes.

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 ...

Characterization of the swarming behavior of Anopheles coluzzii and Anopheles gambiae (Diptera: Culicidae) populations in a hybrid zone of Senegal.

Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles coluzzii, often found in sympatry and synchronous, have undergone a premating reproductive isolation across their distribution range.
