Genetic Surveillance Reveals Differential Evolutionary Dynamic of Anopheles gambiae Under Contrasting Insecticidal Tools Used in Malaria Control. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Malaria, a febrile disease caused by the Plasmodium parasites and transmitted by mosquitoes, is a leading cause of mortality in children under 5 in endemic countries. The widespread deployment of insecticide‐treated bed nets (ITNs) has significantly reduced malaria transmission, but rising levels of insecticide resistance threaten to halt the ...

Member species of the Anopheles gambiae complex can be misidentified as Anopheles leesoni

Malaria Journal, 2020
Background Accurate Anopheles species identification is key for effective malaria vector control. Identification primarily depends on morphological analysis of field samples as well as molecular species-specific identifications.

Entomological drivers of uneven malaria transmission in urban lowland areas in Bouaké, Côte d’Ivoire

Malaria Journal, 2023
Background The use of urban lowlands for agriculture contributes to the food security of city- dwellers, but promotes malaria transmission. The objective of the study was to characterize the entomological drivers of malaria transmission in two lowlands ...
