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 ...

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

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 ...

Differential behaviour of Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto (Diptera: Culicidae) to human and cow odours in the laboratory. [PDF]

, 2001
A dual port olfactometer was used to study the response of Anopheles gambiae Giles sensu stricto to odours of human and animal origin. Human odour consisted of human skin emanations collected on a nylon stocking, which was worn for 24 h.

Implication of Anopheles funestus in malaria transmission in the city of Yaoundé, Cameroon

Parasite, 2020
The contribution of Anopheles funestus to malaria transmission in the urban environment is still not well documented. The present study assesses the implication of An.

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 ...

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

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 ...

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).
