Molecular Insights and Repellent Efficacy of the Essential Oil and Major Compounds From Piper cyrtopodon (Miq.) C.DC (Piperaceae) Against Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus, 1762) (Culicidae)

Archiv der Pharmazie, Volume 359, Issue 6, June 2026.
The essential oil and major compounds from Piper cyrtopodon exhibit potent, long‐lasting repellent activity against Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, combined with low cytotoxicity and favorable molecular docking interactions with odorant‐binding proteins. These findings highlight its potential for the development of alternative products for bite prevention ...

Genome mapping and characterization of the Anopheles gambiae heterochromatin [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2010
Heterochromatin plays an important role in chromosome function and gene regulation. Despite the availability of polytene chromosomes and genome sequence, the heterochromatin of the major malaria vector Anopheles gambiae has not been mapped and characterized.To determine the extent of heterochromatin within the An.

Impact of Seasonal Meteorological Variability on Malaria Incidence in Côte d'Ivoire: A Retrospective Study (2021–2023)

GeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Metrological variations strongly influence malaria transmission by affecting mosquito breeding and survival. Côte d'Ivoire, located within a tropical climate zone, is particularly vulnerable to metrological variations that can alter disease patterns.

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.

Exploring marking methods for the predatory hoverfly Sphaerophoria rueppellii (Diptera: Syrphidae)

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 1109-1122, June 2026.
As important pollinators and predators of aphids, hoverflies play an important role in ecosystems. This study focuses on identifying the best marking technique for the model species Sphaerophoria rueppellii that can be used to track hoverfly feeding and oviposition sites, evaluating three methods: rubidium (RbCl), fluorescein, and fluorescent dusts ...
