Bionomics and distribution of malaria vectors in Kisumu city, Western Kenya: implications for urban malaria transmission

Malaria Journal
Background Increasing unplanned urbanization in tropical Africa may create new niches for malaria vectors, raising transmission risk, yet control efforts focus on rural ecosystems.

Wild Animal Suffering Is Not Intractable: A Precautionary Approach to Compassionate Intervention

Journal of Applied Philosophy, Volume 43, Issue 2, Page 471-490, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Wild animals suffer due to human activity, yet natural factors contribute far more significantly to their suffering. In light of this, some propose that we have a pro tanto obligation to intervene in ecosystems to improve wild animal welfare.

Identification and mapping of potential and highly likely vectors for selected vector‐borne diseases in the EU and neighbouring countries

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract This report addresses Term of Reference 1.2 by providing a comprehensive knowledge‐mapping of arthropod vector species competent to transmit selected vector‐borne diseases (VBDs) including VBDs listed under Regulation (EU) 2016/429 and Regulation (EU) 2020/687, as well as additional non‐listed pathogens with potential epidemiological relevance.

Isolation and Characterization of Larvicidal Phenolic Acids from Kotschya thymodora Leaves

Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2020
Malaria is a vector borne disease responsible for high morbidity, mortality and poverty in many tropical and subtropical countries. The disease is transmitted through a bite from an infected female Anopheles mosquito, amongst which Anopheles gambiae s.s

PCR cloning of a histone H1 gene from Anopheles stephensi mosquito cells: comparison of the protein sequence with histone H1-like, C-terminal extensions on mosquito ribosomal protein S6

BMC Genomics, 2005
Background In Aedes and Anopheles mosquitoes, ribosomal protein RPS6 has an unusual C-terminal extension that resembles histone H1 proteins. To explore homology between a mosquito H1 histone and the RPS6 tail, we took advantage of the Anopheles gambiae ...

Signatures of adaptation at key insecticide resistance loci in Anopheles gambiae in Southern Ghana revealed by reduced-coverage WGS

Scientific Reports
Resistance to insecticides and adaptation to a diverse range of environments present challenges to Anopheles gambiae s.l. mosquito control efforts in sub-Saharan Africa.

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

Malaria 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 ...

The problem of exophily in Anopheles gambiae.

Bulletin of the World Health Organization, 1956
Studies of the exophily exhibited by anophelines in a humid coastal area and in an arid inland region of Tanganyika gave very different results. In the former area, catches of A. gambiae were scanty and largely composed of unfed and gravid females, while in the latter, large numbers of mosquitos were caught outside and a great many of them were ...

Seasonal abundance, blood meal sources and insecticide susceptibility in major anopheline malaria vectors from southern Mauritania

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Malaria is endemic in the southernmost Sahelian zone of Mauritania where the major known mosquito vector is Anopheles arabiensis. Understanding seasonal population dynamics, feeding preferences and insecticide resistance status of these ...
