Zoophilic and anthropophilic behaviour in the Anopheles gambiae complex [PDF]

, 2013
The work included in this thesis \ud arose \ud from \ud a \ud long-standing interest in the \ud possible \ud use of genetic control for one of \ud the \ud most \ud important \ud malaria \ud vectors \ud in \ud Africa, Anopheles \ud gambiae sensu stricto. It was hoped that the \ud genes \ud involved in \ud animal \ud biting in the \ud sibling \ud species

Species Shifts in the Anopheles gambiae Complex: Do LLINs Successfully Control Anopheles arabiensis? [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
High coverage of conventional and long-lasting insecticide treated nets (ITNs and LLINs) in parts of E Africa are associated with reductions in local malaria burdens. Shifts in malaria vector species ratio have coincided with the scale-up suggesting that some species are being controlled by ITNs/LLINs better than others.Between 2005-2006 six ...

A pre-intervention study of malaria vector abundance in Rio Muni, Equatorial Guinea: Their role in malaria transmission and the incidence of insecticide resistance alleles [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2008
Background Following the success of the malaria control intervention on the island of Bioko, malaria control by the use of indoor residual spraying (IRS) and long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLITN) was extended to Rio Muni, on the mainland part of ...

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.

Malaria vector bionomics in Taita-Taveta County, coastal Kenya

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Background Estimation of the composition and densities of mosquito species populations is crucial for monitoring the epidemiology of mosquito-borne diseases and provide information on local vectors to public health officials and policy-makers. The aim of

Identification and Characterization of Two Novel RNA Viruses from Anopheles gambiae Species Complex Mosquitoes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Mosquitoes of the Anopheles gambiae complex display strong preference for human bloodmeals and are major malaria vectors in Africa. However, their interaction with viruses or role in arbovirus transmission during epidemics has been little examined, with ...

Changes in contributions of different Anopheles vector species to malaria transmission in east and southern Africa from 2000 to 2022

Parasites & Vectors, 2023
Background Malaria transmission in Africa is facilitated by multiple species of Anopheles mosquitoes. These vectors have different behaviors and vectorial capacities and are affected differently by vector control interventions, such as insecticide ...

Assessing Anopheles vector species diversity and transmission of malaria in four health districts along the borders of Côte d’Ivoire

Malaria Journal, 2021
Background Although malaria and Anopheles mosquito vectors are highly prevalent in Côte d’Ivoire, limited data are available to help understand the malaria vector density and transmission dynamics in areas bordering the country.

Status of insecticide susceptibility in Anopheles gambiae s.l. from malaria surveillance sites in The Gambia. [PDF]

, 2009
BACKGROUND: Vector control is an effective way of reducing malaria transmission. The main vector control methods include the use of insecticide-treated bed nets and indoor residual spraying (IRS).
