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.

The expanding Anopheles gambiae species complex [PDF]

Pathogens and Global Health, 2020
Many species of Anopheles mosquitoes exist as part of species complexes; that is groups of very closely related species. A prime example of this is the Anopheles gambiae s.l.

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

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.

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 ...

Impact of sugarcane irrigation on malaria vector Anopheles mosquito fauna, abundance and seasonality in Arjo-Didessa, Ethiopia

Malaria Journal, 2020
Background Despite extensive irrigation development in Ethiopia, limited studies assessed the impact of irrigation on malaria vector mosquito composition, abundance and seasonality.

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.

A new species in the major malaria vector complex sheds light on reticulated species evolution [PDF]

, 2019
Complexes of closely related species provide key insights into the rapid and independent evolution of adaptive traits. Here, we described and studied Anopheles fontenillei sp.n., a new species in the Anopheles gambiae complex that we recently discovered ...

Deep learning and wing interferential patterns identify Anopheles species and discriminate amongst Gambiae complex species

Scientific Reports, 2023
We present a new and innovative identification method based on deep learning of the wing interferential patterns carried by mosquitoes of the Anopheles genus to classify and assign 20 Anopheles species, including 13 malaria vectors. We provide additional
