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.

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.

Responses of Anopheles gambiae complex mosquitoes to the use of untreated bednets in The Gambia

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 1989
ABSTRACT. Population dynamics of the Anopheles gambiae complex of malaria vector mosquitoes were studied in four small hamlets in The Gambia. Bednets were used to reduce man/vector contact in two of the hamlets. High densities of An. gambiae, sensu lato,

Dry season ecology of Anopheles gambiae complex mosquitoes in The Gambia [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2008
Abstract Background Malaria in The Gambia is highly seasonal, with transmission occurring as Anopheles gambiae s.l. populations expand during and immediately after a single annual rainy season that lasts from June to October.

Entomological drivers of uneven malaria transmission in urban lowland areas in Bouaké, Côte d’Ivoire

Malaria Journal, 2023
Background The use of urban lowlands for agriculture contributes to the food security of city- dwellers, but promotes malaria transmission. The objective of the study was to characterize the entomological drivers of malaria transmission in two lowlands ...
