Spontaneous mutation rate estimates for the principal malaria vectors Anopheles coluzzii and Anopheles stephensi

Scientific Reports, 2022
Using high-depth whole genome sequencing of F0 mating pairs and multiple individual F1 offspring, we estimated the nuclear mutation rate per generation in the malaria vectors Anopheles coluzzii and Anopheles stephensi by detecting de novo genetic ...

High susceptibility of wild Anopheles funestus to infection with natural Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes using membrane feeding assays. [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND Anopheles funestus is a major vector of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa. However, because it is difficult to colonize, research on this mosquito species has lagged behind other vectors, particularly the understanding of its susceptibility and ...

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

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.

Reticulate evolutionary history and extensive introgression in mosquito species revealed by phylogenetic network analysis [PDF]

, 2016
The role of hybridization and subsequent introgression has been demonstrated in an increasing number of species. Recently, Fontaine et al. (Science, 347, 2015, 1258524) conducted a phylogenomic analysis of six members of the Anopheles gambiae species ...

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.

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

When intensity of deltamethrin resistance in Anopheles gambiae s.l. leads to loss of Long Lasting Insecticidal Nets bio-efficacy : a case study in north Cameroon [PDF]

, 2016
Background: In Cameroon, insecticide resistance in Anopheles (An.) gambiae s.l. has been reported in several foci, prompting further investigations on associated patterns of Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs) bio-efficacy.

Sugar diet affects Culex pipiens early‐life mortality, biochemical parameters, and immunocompetence

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2025.
Abstract Mosquitoes obtain carbohydrates from plants, providing a fundamental source of energy for their metabolism. These nutrients influence mosquito immunocompetence and longevity, which has potential implications for the transmission of mosquito‐borne pathogens.
