Humidity – The overlooked variable in the thermal biology of mosquito‐borne disease

Ecology Letters, Volume 26, Issue 7, Page 1029-1049, July 2023., 2023
This Perspectives explores how humidity shapes the thermal performance of mosquito‐borne pathogen transmission. We summarize what is known about its effects and propose a conceptual model for how temperature and humidity interact to shape the range of temperatures across which mosquitoes persist and achieve high transmission potential.

Repellency Potential, Chemical Constituents of Ocimum Plant Essential Oils, and Their Headspace Volatiles against Anopheles gambiae s. s., Malaria Vector

Journal of Chemistry, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
African malaria mosquitoes (Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto) transmit a malaria parasite (Plasmodium falciparum) to humans. The current control strategies for the vector have mainly focussed on synthetic products, which negatively impact the environment and human health.

Molecular Evidence of Wolbachia Species in Wild‐Caught Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti Mosquitoes in Four States of Northeast India

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Wolbachia, a Gram‐negative intracellular bacterium, naturally infects many arthropods, including mosquito vectors responsible for the spread of arboviral diseases such as Zika, chikungunya, and dengue fever. Certain Wolbachia strains are involved in inhibiting arbovirus replication in mosquitoes, and this phenomenon is currently being studied to combat

A Study on the Bionomics of Primary Malaria Vectors Anopheles minimus and Anopheles baimaii in Some States of North East Region of India

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Northeast region (NER) states of India remain highly malarious due to their geographical and ecotype diversity. Furthermore, rapid urbanization and change in climate are also affecting the vector biology and behavior of the existing species. Hence, a study is conducted in the states of Tripura and Meghalaya to generate data on the bionomics of the ...

Drug targeting of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases in Anopheles species and Aedes aegypti that cause malaria and dengue

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background Mosquito-borne diseases have a devastating impact on human civilization. A few species of Anopheles mosquitoes are responsible for malaria transmission, and while there has been a reduction in malaria-related deaths worldwide, growing ...

Anopheles gambiae strain (Ag55) cultured cells originated from Anopheles coluzzii and are phagocytic with hemocyte‐like gene expression

Insect Science, Volume 29, Issue 5, Page 1346-1360, October 2022., 2022
Anopheles gambiae cultured Ag55 cells originated from Anopheles coluzzi, have a hemocyte‐like transcriptome and are phagocytic. Abstract Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles coluzzii are closely related species that are predominant vectors of malaria in Africa. Recently, A. gambiae form M was renamed A.
