Cryopreservation of Anopheles gambiae Larvae. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Mosquitoes remain a significant global health concern due to their role in transmitting deadly diseases including malaria, dengue, and yellow fever. Recent advances in genetic modification technologies have enabled researchers to better study disease transmission and is an emerging approach for vector ...

Tools forAnopheles gambiaeTransgenesis [PDF]
AbstractTransgenesis is an essential tool to investigate gene function and to introduce desired characters in laboratory organisms. Setting-up transgenesis in non-model organisms is challenging due to the diversity of biological life traits and due to knowledge gaps in genomic information.

Population Structure of Anopheles gambiae in Africa [PDF]
The population structure of Anopheles gambiae in Africa was studied using 11 microsatellite loci in 16 samples from 10 countries. All loci are located outside polymorphic inversions. Heterogeneity among loci was detected and two putative outlier loci were removed from analyses aimed at capturing genome-wide patterns. Two main divisions of the gene pool

Status of insecticide resistance in Anopheles gambiae (s.l.) of The Gambia [PDF]
Vector control activities, namely long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLIN) and indoor residual spraying (IRS), have contributed significantly to the decreasing malaria burden observed in The Gambia since 2008. Nevertheless, insecticide resistance may threaten such success; it is important to regularly assess the susceptibility of local malaria vectors to ...

The distribution of hatching time in Anopheles gambiae [PDF]
Abstract Background Knowledge of the ecological differences between the molecular forms of Anopheles gambiae and their sibling species, An. arabiensis might lead to understanding their unique contribution to disease transmission and to better vector control as well as to understanding the evolutionary forces that have

Demasculinization of the Anopheles gambiae X chromosome [PDF]
Abstract Background In a number of organisms sex-biased genes are non-randomly distributed between autosomes and the shared sex chromosome X (or Z). Studies on Anopheles gambiae have produced conflicting results regarding the ...

Dry season ecology of Anopheles gambiae complex mosquitoes in The Gambia [PDF]
Abstract Background Malaria in The Gambia is highly seasonal, with transmission occurring as Anopheles gambiae s.l. populations expand during and immediately after a single annual rainy season that lasts from June to October.
