Entomological Surveillance of Behavioural Resilience and Resistance in Residual Malaria Vector Populations. [PDF]

, 2013
The most potent malaria vectors rely heavily upon human blood so they are vulnerable to attack with insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) within houses. Mosquito taxa that can avoid feeding or resting indoors, or by obtaining

Genetic engineering for SIT application: a fruit fly‐focused review

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 703-723, April 2026.
Abstract Sterile insect technique (SIT) has become a key component of efficient pest control. Fruit fly pests from the Drosophilidae and Tephritidae families pose a substantial and overwhelmingly increasing threat to the agricultural industry, aggravated by climate change and globalization among other contributors.

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

Implications of bio-efficacy and persistence of insecticides when indoor residual spraying and longlasting insecticide nets are combined for malaria prevention. [PDF]

, 2012
Bio-efficacy and residual activity of insecticides used for indoor residual spraying (IRS) and long-lasting insecticide nets (LLINs) were assessed against laboratory-reared and wild populations of the malaria vector, Anopheles arabiensis in south eastern

Selection, counterselection, and conditional gene expression for genetic biocontrol of insects

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 724-743, April 2026.
Selection, counterselection, and conditional expression can be used for sex separation. Selection (S) and counterselection (CS) genes are linked to the sex chromosomes (e.g., the X and Y chromosomes) to confer sex‐specific selection or counterselection based on the presence or absence of the S or CS genes.

Demasculinization of the Anopheles gambiae X chromosome [PDF]

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2012
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 ...

Synthetic biology approaches to generate temperature‐sensitive alleles for the Sterile Insect Technique

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 517-532, April 2026.
Abstract The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is an environmentally friendly, sustainable pest control approach, which uses large‐scale releases of sterile insects to suppress or eradicate target populations through infertile matings. The efficiency of SIT is enhanced by male‐only releases requiring genetic sexing strains (GSSs) that are classically ...

The expanding Anopheles gambiae species complex [PDF]

Pathogens and Global Health, 2020
Many species of Anopheles mosquitoes exist as part of species complexes; that is groups of very closely related species. A prime example of this is the Anopheles gambiae s.l.

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 ...

Neoclassical development of genetic sexing strains for insect pest and disease vector control

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 618-639, April 2026.
The sterile insect technique has been effectively used for decades, and an important component is the availability of sex separation systems, in particular genetic sexing strains. Classical approaches, such as irradiation‐induced chromosomal translocations, have yielded stable strains for species like the Mediterranean fruit fly.
