Malaria vector bionomics in Taita-Taveta County, coastal Kenya
Parasites & Vectors, 2022 Background Estimation of the composition and densities of mosquito species populations is crucial for monitoring the epidemiology of mosquito-borne diseases and provide information on local vectors to public health officials and policy-makers. The aim of

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.

Insecticide resistance and the future of malaria control in Zambia. [PDF]
, 2011 BACKGROUND: In line with the Global trend to improve malaria control efforts a major campaign of insecticide treated net distribution was initiated in 1999 and indoor residual spraying with DDT or pyrethroids was reintroduced in 2000 in Zambia.

A new species in the major malaria vector complex sheds light on reticulated species evolution [PDF]
, 2019 Complexes of closely related species provide key insights into the rapid and independent evolution of adaptive traits. Here, we described and studied Anopheles fontenillei sp.n., a new species in the Anopheles gambiae complex that we recently discovered ...

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 ...

Complex genome evolution in Anopheles coluzzii associated with increased insecticide usage in Mali. [PDF]
, 2015 In certain cases, a species may have access to important genetic variation present in a related species via adaptive introgression. These novel alleles may interact with their new genetic background, resulting in unexpected phenotypes.
