Member species of the Anopheles gambiae complex can be misidentified as Anopheles leesoni [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2020
Background Accurate Anopheles species identification is key for effective malaria vector control. Identification primarily depends on morphological analysis of field samples as well as molecular species-specific identifications.

Spatial distribution and ecological niche modeling of geographical spread of Anopheles gambiae complex in Nigeria using real time data [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2023
The need for evidence-based data, to inform policy decisions on malaria vector control interventions in Nigeria, necessitated the establishment of mosquito surveillance sites in a few States in Nigeria.

Assessing species composition and insecticide resistance of Anopheles gambiae complex members in three coastal health districts of Côte d'Ivoire. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Although malaria is endemic in coastal Côte d'Ivoire, updated data on the resistance profile of the main vector, Anopheles gambiae sensu lato (s.l.), are still lacking, thus compromising decision-making for an effective vector control intervention.

The dynamic gut microbiota of zoophilic members of the Anopheles gambiae complex (Diptera: Culicidae). [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2022
The gut microbiota of mosquitoes plays a critical role in the life history of the animal. There is a growing body of research characterising the gut microbiota of a range of mosquito species, but there is still a paucity of information on some members of

High-throughput barcoding method for the genetic surveillance of insecticide resistance and species identification in Anopheles gambiae complex malaria vectors. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2022
Surveillance of malaria vector species and the monitoring of insecticide resistance are essential to inform malaria control strategies and support the reduction of infections and disease.

A population genomic unveiling of a new cryptic mosquito taxon within the malaria-transmitting Anopheles gambiae complex. [PDF]

Mol Ecol, 2021
The Anopheles gambiae complex consists of multiple morphologically indistinguishable mosquito species including the most important vectors of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum in sub-Saharan Africa.

Sympatric Populations of the <i>Anopheles gambiae</i> Complex in Southwest Burkina Faso Evolve Multiple Diverse Resistance Mechanisms in Response to Intense Selection Pressure with Pyrethroids. [PDF]

Insects, 2022
Simple Summary Targeting mosquitoes with insecticides is one of the most effective methods to prevent malaria transmission. Although numbers of malaria cases have declined substantially this century, this pattern is not universal and Burkina Faso has one

Population genomic evidence of a putative 'far-west' African cryptic taxon in the Anopheles gambiae complex. [PDF]

Commun Biol
The two main Afrotropical malaria vectors - Anopheles coluzzii and An. gambiae – are genetically distinct and reproductively isolated across West Africa.

Structural Variation of the X Chromosome Heterochromatin in the Anopheles gambiae Complex. [PDF]

Genes (Basel), 2020
Heterochromatin is identified as a potential factor driving diversification of species. To understand the magnitude of heterochromatin variation within the Anopheles gambiae complex of malaria mosquitoes, we analyzed metaphase chromosomes in An ...

Evidence for natural hybridization and novel Wolbachia strain superinfections in the Anopheles gambiae complex from Guinea. [PDF]

R Soc Open Sci, 2021
Wolbachia, a widespread bacterium which can influence mosquito-borne pathogen transmission, has recently been detected within Anopheles (An.) species that are malaria vectors in Sub-Saharan Africa.
