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

Malar J, 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.

In Silico Karyotyping of Chromosomally Polymorphic Malaria Mosquitoes in the Anopheles gambiae Complex. [PDF]

G3 (Bethesda), 2019
Chromosomal inversion polymorphisms play an important role in adaptation to environmental heterogeneities. For mosquito species in the Anopheles gambiae complex that are significant vectors of human malaria, paracentric inversion polymorphisms are ...

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.

Characterisation of species and diversity of Anopheles gambiae Keele Colony [PDF]

, 2016
Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto was recently reclassified as two species, An. coluzzii and An. gambiae s.s., in wild-caught mosquitoes, on the basis of the molecular form, denoted M or S, of a marker on the X chromosome. The An.

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 ...
