The genetic basis of host preference and resting behavior in the major African malaria vector, Anopheles arabiensis [PDF]
, 2016 Malaria transmission is dependent on the propensity of Anopheles mosquitoes to bite humans (anthropophily) instead of other dead end hosts. Recent increases in the usage of Long Lasting Insecticide Treated Nets (LLINs) in Africa have been associated ...

Implication of Anopheles funestus in malaria transmission in the city of Yaoundé, Cameroon
Parasite, 2020 The contribution of Anopheles funestus to malaria transmission in the urban environment is still not well documented. The present study assesses the implication of An.

Behavioral Cost & Overdominance in Anopheles gambiae
PLOS ONE, 2015 In response to the widespread use of control strategies such as Insecticide Treated Nets (ITN), Anopheles mosquitoes have evolved various resistance mechanisms. Kdr is a mutation that provides physiological resistance to the pyrethroid insecticides family (PYR).

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.

A low-cost microfluidic chip for rapid genotyping of malaria-transmitting mosquitoes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Vector control is one of the most effective measures to prevent the transmission of malaria, a disease that causes over 600,000 deaths annually. Around 30-40 Anopheles mosquito species are natural vectors of malaria parasites.

An expression map for Anopheles gambiae [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2011 Abstract Background Quantitative transcriptome data for the malaria-transmitting mosquito Anopheles gambiae covers a broad range of biological and experimental conditions, including development, blood feeding and infection.

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 ...

Novel transposable elements from Anopheles gambiae [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2011 Abstract Background Transposable elements (TEs) are DNA sequences, present in the genome of most eukaryotic organisms that hold the key characteristic of being able to mobilize and increase their copy number within chromosomes.
