The Anopheles gambiae complex and malaria transmission around Kisumu, Kenya

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1972
Abstract 1. 1. The environment surrounding Kisumu in Kenya is described, emphasizing the importance of the Nyando valley as a highly malarious area as compared with the Nandi and Kisii hills where only epidemic malaria occurs. 2. 2. Available data on malaria transmission are summarized in detail.

Insecticide resistance mechanisms in Anopheles gambiae complex populations from Burkina Faso, West Africa.

Acta Tropica, 2019
Vector control constitutes a fundamental approach in reducing vector density and the efficient option to break malaria transmission in Africa. Malaria vectors developed resistance to almost all classes of insecticides recommended by WHO for vector ...

Anopheles gambiae Complex

Nature, 1962
THE existence of two fresh-water forms (A and B) of Anopheles gambiae Giles which, when crossed, produce sterile F1 males has been established by Davidson and Jackson1. A salt-water tolerant strain of the same species from near Tanga, Tanganyika, has been shown to be partially incompatible with two strains of the group A fresh-water form2,3, while the ...

Genomic Analysis Reveals a New Cryptic Taxon Within the Anopheles gambiae Complex With a Distinct Insecticide Resistance Profile in the Coast of East Africa

Molecular Ecology
Anopheles mosquitoes are major malaria vectors, encompassing several species complexes with diverse life histories, transmission risks and insecticide resistance profiles that challenge malaria control efforts.

Loop‐mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assays for Anopheles funestus group and Anopheles gambiae complex species

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 2020
Species of the genus Anopheles vary with regard to their vector capacity for Plasmodium spp., the causative agent of malaria, and their accurate identification is often required.

Cannibalism and predation among larvae of the Anopheles gambiae complex

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 2003
Abstract. Among the aquatic developmental stages of the Anopheles gambiae complex (Diptera: Culicidae), both inter‐ and intra‐specific interactions influence the resulting densities of adult mosquito populations.

Reconstructing Ancestral Autosomal Arrangements in theAnopheles gambiaeComplex

Journal of Computational Biology, 2008
Members of the Anopheles gambiae complex have remarkably distinct ecological adaptations, behaviors, and degrees of vectorial capacity. Inferring phylogenetic relationships in the complex is crucial for identifying the genomic changes associated with the origin and loss of epidemiologically important traits.

A Polytene Chromosome Analysis of the Anopheles gambiae Species Complex

Science, 2002
Field-collected specimens of all known taxa in the Anopheles gambiae complex were analyzed on the basis of chromosome inversions with reference to a standard polytene chromosome map. The phylogenetic relationships among the seven described species in the complex could be inferred from the distribution of fixed ...

Pyrethroid‐treated bednet effects on mosquitoes of the Anopheles gambiae complex in The Gambia

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 1991
Abstract. The response of Anopheles gambiae complex mosquitoes to men sleeping under insecticide‐impregnated or untreated bednets in six verandali trap huts was studied during the dry season in The Gambia.
