Fitness consequences of Anopheles gambiae population hybridization [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2005
Abstract Background The use of transgenic mosquitoes with parasite inhibiting genes has been proposed as an integral strategy to control malaria transmission. However, release of exotic transgenic mosquitoes will bring in novel alleles along with parasite-inhibiting genes that may have unknown effects on native ...

The role of water temperature and food availability in shaping immunity and body condition of Odonata: Impacts of deprivation on larval development

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.
Larvae of Aeshna cyanea were reared at 17 or 21°C and fed either once or three times per week. Body condition and immune parameters were measured. Elevated temperature reduced haemocyte density. Low food availability reduced phenoloxidase (PO) activity, protein and fat content and growth.

First detection of the malaria vector Anopheles arabiensis in Côte d’Ivoire: urbanization in question

Malaria Journal, 2022
Background Previous studies have revealed high malaria transmission in Bouaké, Côte d’Ivoire. The sociopolitical crisis in the country and the resulting environmental changes have raised the need to update existing knowledge on mosquito vector species ...

Infection of Malaria (Anopheles gambiae s.s.) and Filariasis (Culex quinquefasciatus)Vectors with the Entomopathogenic Fungus Metarhizium Anisopliae. [PDF]

, 2003
Current intra-domiciliary vector control depends on the application of residual insecticides and/or repellents. Although biological control agents have been developed against aquatic mosquito stages, none are available for adults.

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.

Assessing the Use of Oxford Nanopore Technologies Sequencing for Detection of Stable Wolbachia Bacterial Strain in Symbiosis in Wild Anopheles Mosquitoes From the WHO African Region

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 10, October 2026.
This study assesses Oxford Nanopore Technology sequencing to detect Wolbachia in Anopheles mosquitoes. To do this, samples were analysed using the ONT field sequencing kit and sequenced using a minION flow cell and the ONT 16S barcoding kit and Rapid barcoding kit sequenced using Flongle flow cells.

High vector diversity and malaria transmission dynamics in five sentinel sites in Cameroon

Malaria Journal, 2023
Background Malaria remains one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in Cameroon. To inform vector control intervention decision making, malaria vector surveillance was conducted monthly from October 2018 to September 2020 in five selected ...
