Highly specific PCR-RFLP assays for karyotyping the widespread 2Rb inversion in malaria vectors of the Anopheles gambiae complex. [PDF]

Parasit Vectors, 2020
Chromosomal inversion polymorphisms play a role in adaptation to heterogeneous environments. Inversion polymorphisms are implicated in the very high ecological flexibility of the three main malaria vector species of the Afrotropical Anopheles gambiae ...

Species composition and distribution of the Anopheles gambiae complex circulating in Kinshasa [PDF]

GigaByte
Understanding the distribution of Anopheles species is essential for planning and implementing malaria control programmes. This study assessed the composition and distribution of cryptic species of the main malaria vector, the Anopheles ...

Inversion Genotyping in the Anopheles gambiae Complex Using High-Throughput Array and Sequencing Platforms. [PDF]

G3 (Bethesda), 2020
Chromosomal inversion polymorphisms have special importance in the Anopheles gambiae complex of malaria vector mosquitoes, due to their role in local adaptation and range expansion.

Premeiotic and meiotic failures lead to hybrid male sterility in the Anopheles gambiae complex. [PDF]

Proc Biol Sci, 2019
Hybrid male sterility (HMS) contributes to speciation by restricting gene flow between related taxa. Detailed cytological characterization of reproductive organs in hybrid males is important for identifying phenotypes that can help guide searches of ...

Spatial and temporal development of deltamethrin resistance in malaria vectors of the Anopheles gambiae complex from North Cameroon. [PDF]

PLoS One, 2019
The effectiveness of insecticide-based malaria vector control interventions in Africa is threatened by the spread and intensification of pyrethroid resistance in targeted mosquito populations.

Susceptibility of Anopheles gambiae complex mosquitoes to microbial larvicides in diverse ecological settings in western Kenya. [PDF]

Med Vet Entomol, 2019
The microbial larvicides Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (Bti) and Bacillus sphaericus (Bs) (Bacillales: Bacillaceae) are well known for their efficacy and safety in mosquito control.

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 ...

The effects of larval organic fertiliser exposure on the larval development, adult longevity and insecticide tolerance of zoophilic members of the Anopheles gambiae complex (Diptera: Culicidae). [PDF]

PLoS One, 2019
Zoophilic members of the Anopheles gambiae complex are often associated with cattle. As such, it is likely that the immature aquatic stages will be exposed to cattle faeces as a pollutant.

Molecular evolution of gustatory receptors in the Anopheles gambiae complex. [PDF]

BMC Ecol Evol
AbstractBackgroundMosquitoes in theAnopheles(An.)gambiaespecies complex are major vectors ofPlasmodium falciparummalaria. One reason for this is the high anthropophily of the constituent speciesAn. coluzzii,An. gambiaesensu stricto, andAn. arabiensis. In contrast, their sister speciesAn.
