Bionomics and distribution of malaria vectors in Kisumu city, Western Kenya: implications for urban malaria transmission

Malaria Journal
Background Increasing unplanned urbanization in tropical Africa may create new niches for malaria vectors, raising transmission risk, yet control efforts focus on rural ecosystems.

Innate preference for host-odor blends modulates degree of anthropophagy of Anopheles gambiae sensu lato (Diptera: Culicidae) [PDF]

In field studies, Anopheles gambiae Giles sensu stricto obtains most blood meals from humans, whereas Anopheles quadriannulatus Theobald bites predominantly bovids. We investigated whether host odors modulate the host preference of these mosquito species.

Evaluation of Methods for Sampling the Malaria Vector Anopheles darlingi (Diptera, Culicidae) in Suriname and the Relation With Its Biting Behavior [PDF]

, 2011
The effectiveness of CO2-baited and human-baited mosquito traps for the sampling of Anopheles darlingi Root was evaluated and compared with human landing collections in Suriname.

Genomic Signatures of Microgeographic Adaptation in Anopheles coluzzii Across Urban, Rural, and Forested Environments in Gabon

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 8, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Species distributed across heterogeneous environments often evolve locally adapted populations, but understanding how these persist in the presence of homogenizing gene flow remains puzzling. In Gabon, Anopheles coluzzii, a major African malaria mosquito, is found in various ecological settings, including urban areas, remote rural villages ...

PCR cloning of a histone H1 gene from Anopheles stephensi mosquito cells: comparison of the protein sequence with histone H1-like, C-terminal extensions on mosquito ribosomal protein S6

BMC Genomics, 2005
Background In Aedes and Anopheles mosquitoes, ribosomal protein RPS6 has an unusual C-terminal extension that resembles histone H1 proteins. To explore homology between a mosquito H1 histone and the RPS6 tail, we took advantage of the Anopheles gambiae ...

\ud Detection and Monitoring of Insecticide Resistance in Malaria Vectors in Tanzania Mainland\ud [PDF]

, 2011
\ud Vector control is a major component of the global strategy for malaria control which aims to prevent parasite transmission mainly through interventions targeting adult Anopheline vectors.

Evaluation of textile substrates for dispensing synthetic attractants for malaria mosquitoes [PDF]

, 2014
Background: The full-scale impact of odour-baited technology on the surveillance, sampling and control of vectors of infectious diseases is partly limited by the lack of methods for the efficient and sustainable dispensing of attractants.

Genetic Basis of Cuticular Hydrocarbon Variation in the Desert Ant Cataglyphis niger

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) are a ubiquitous component of ant cuticles that are used for a wide range of chemical signaling functions, especially recognition. Here we tested for a genetic basis of CHC variation in the desert ant Cataglyphis niger. We applied a genomic mapping approach to discover associations between CHCs and 20 quantitative trait ...

Signatures of adaptation at key insecticide resistance loci in Anopheles gambiae in Southern Ghana revealed by reduced-coverage WGS

Scientific Reports
Resistance to insecticides and adaptation to a diverse range of environments present challenges to Anopheles gambiae s.l. mosquito control efforts in sub-Saharan Africa.

Variation in the susceptibility of Anopheles gambiae to botanicals across a metropolitan region of Nigeria [PDF]

, 2019
Pesticide resistance is normally associated with genetic changes, resulting in varied responses to insecticides between different populations. There is little evidence of resistance to plant allelochemicals; it is likely that their efficacy varies ...
