Land cover, land use and malaria in the Amazon: a systematic literature review of studies using remotely sensed data [PDF]

, 2013
The nine countries sharing the Amazon forest accounted for 89% of all malaria cases reported in the Americas in 2008. Remote sensing can help identify the environmental determinants of malaria transmission and their temporo-spatial evolution.

Natural Wolbachia infections are common in the major malaria vectors in Central Africa

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 12, Issue 8, Page 1583-1594, September 2019., 2019
Abstract During the last decade, the endosymbiont bacterium Wolbachia has emerged as a biological tool for vector disease control. However, for long time, it was believed that Wolbachia was absent in natural populations of Anopheles. The recent discovery that species within the Anopheles gambiae complex host Wolbachia in natural conditions has opened ...

Effects of the removal or reduction in density of the malaria mosquito, Anopheles gambiae s.l., on interacting predators and competitors in local ecosystems

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 33, Issue 1, Page 1-15, March 2019., 2019
Genetic control methods for anopheline mosquitoes may reduce their populations without direct effects on other species or the physical environment; indirect effects on predators or competitors may be of concern. The vast majority of Anopheles gambiae predators are broad generalists and consume many other insect species; there is no indication of a ...

A sensitive, specific and reproducible real-time polymerase chain reaction method for detection of Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparum infection in field-collected anophelines

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2015
We describe a simple method for detection of Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparum infection in anophelines using a triplex TaqMan real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay (18S rRNA).

K‐mer‐Based Motif Analysis in Insect Species across Anopheles, Drosophila, and Glossina Genera and Its Application to Species Classification

Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
Short k‐mer sequences from DNA are both conserved and diverged across species owing to their functional significance in speciation, which enables their use in many species classification algorithms. In the present study, we developed a methodology to analyze the DNA k‐mers of whole genome, 5′ UTR, intron, and 3′ UTR regions from 58 insect species ...

Biochemical Responses of Anopheles spp. Larvae to a Novel Brazilian BR101 Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis Formulation: Oxidative Stress, Detoxification Enzymes, and Safety for Nontarget Notonectidae and Gerridae Aquatic Insects

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 2, February 2026.
Bti BR101 exhibits strong larvicidal activity against Anopheles larvae spp., with dose‐dependent mortality and LC50 of 3.13 µg/mL. Bti increases ROS, lipid and protein oxidation, and activates antioxidant enzymes (SOD, CAT, GPx) and detoxification pathways (MFO and esterases), indicating moderate oxidative stress.

Biological Control of Mosquito‐Borne Diseases: The Potential of Wolbachia‐Based Interventions in an IVM Framework

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
People living in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world face an enormous health burden due to mosquito‐borne diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, and filariasis. Historically and today, targeting mosquito vectors with, primarily, insecticide‐based control strategies have been a key control strategy against major mosquito‐borne diseases ...
