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.

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).

In silico karyotyping of chromosomally polymorphic malaria mosquitoes in the Anopheles gambiae complex [PDF]
, 2019 Chromosomal inversion polymorphisms play an important role in adaptation to environmental heterogeneities. For mosquito species in the Anopheles gambiae complex that are significant vectors of human malaria, paracentric inversion polymorphisms are ...

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.

Factors influencing infection and transmission of Anopheles gambiae densovirus (AgDNV) in mosquitoes [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Anopheles gambiae densovirus (AgDNV) is a potential microbial agent for paratransgenesis and gene transduction in An. gambiae, the major vector of human malaria in sub-Saharan Africa. Understanding the interaction between AgDNV and An.

Entomological and Molecular Surveillance of Anopheles Mosquitoes in Freetown, Sierra Leone, 2019
Frontiers in Public Health, 2021 Background: Malaria is endemic in Sierra Leone, with stable and perennial transmission in all parts of the country. At present, the main prevention and control measures for mosquito vectors here involve insecticide treated nets (ITN) and indoor residual ...
