Spatial distribution and ecological niche modeling of geographical spread of Anopheles gambiae complex in Nigeria using real time data

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
The need for evidence-based data, to inform policy decisions on malaria vector control interventions in Nigeria, necessitated the establishment of mosquito surveillance sites in a few States in Nigeria.

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

open access: yesMalaria 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.

Is Anopheles gambiae a Natural Host of Wolbachia?

open access: yesmBio, 2019
Wolbachia (Alphaproteobacteria, Rickettsiales) is an intraovarially transmitted symbiont of insects able to exert striking phenotypes, including reproductive manipulations and pathogen blocking.

Insecticide resistance in Anopheles gambiae from the northern Democratic Republic of Congo, with extreme knockdown resistance (kdr) mutation frequencies revealed by a new diagnostic assay

open access: yesMalaria Journal, 2018
Background Mutations in the voltage-gated sodium channel at codon 1014 confer knock-down resistance (kdr) to pyrethroids in a wide range of insects. Anopheles gambiae exhibits two mutant alleles at codon 1014, serine and phenylalanine; and both are now ...

Cryopreservation of Anopheles gambiae Larvae. [PDF]

open access: yesAdv Biol (Weinh)
Advancements in vector control methods have resulted in a rapidly growing collection of critically important mosquito strains necessitating the development of cryopreservation protocols to minimize the risk of genetic drift, cross‐contamination, or catastrophic loss.

Dual effector population modification gene-drive strains of the African malaria mosquitoes, Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles coluzzii

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2023
Significance Novel genetic strategies for the malaria eradication agenda exploit Cas9/gRNA (guide RNA)-based autonomous gene-drive systems carrying antiparasite effector genes, and these effectively reduce prevalence and numbers of the human parasite ...

Temperature impacts the environmental suitability for malaria transmission by Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles stephensi

open access: yesEcology, 2022
Extrinsic environmental factors influence the spatiotemporal dynamics of many organisms, including insects that transmit the pathogens responsible for vector‐borne diseases (VBDs).
