Change in Composition of the Anopheles Gambiae Complex and its Possible Implications for the Transmission of Malaria and Lymphatic Filariasis in North-Eastern Tanzania. [PDF]

, 2012
A dramatic decline in the incidence of malaria due to Plasmodium falciparum infection in coastal East Africa has recently been reported to be paralleled (or even preceded) by an equally dramatic decline in malaria vector density, despite absence of ...

First detection of the malaria vector Anopheles arabiensis in Côte d’Ivoire: urbanization in question

Malaria Journal, 2022
Background Previous studies have revealed high malaria transmission in Bouaké, Côte d’Ivoire. The sociopolitical crisis in the country and the resulting environmental changes have raised the need to update existing knowledge on mosquito vector species ...

Anopheline species composition and the 1014F-genotype in different ecological settings of Burkina Faso in relation to malaria transmission

Malaria Journal, 2019
Background A three-year longitudinal study was conducted in four sentinel sites from different ecological settings in Burkina Faso, between 2008 and 2010 to identify longitudinal changes in insecticide resistance within Anopheles gambiae complex species ...

Diversity and behavioral activity of Anopheles mosquitoes on the slopes of Mount Cameroon

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Background Malaria remains endemic in Cameroon, with heterogeneous transmission related to eco-climatic variations, vector diversity and spatial distribution.

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 low-cost microfluidic chip for rapid genotyping of malaria-transmitting mosquitoes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Vector control is one of the most effective measures to prevent the transmission of malaria, a disease that causes over 600,000 deaths annually. Around 30-40 Anopheles mosquito species are natural vectors of malaria parasites.
