Variations in household microclimate affect outdoor-biting behaviour of malaria vectors [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Mosquito behaviours including the degree to which they bite inside houses or outside is a crucial determinant of human exposure to malaria.

Shrubs and trees as natural insect protection for grazing animals in Switzerland and the alpine region: A systematic review of in vitro, in vivo and clinical trials Sträucher und Bäume als natürlicher Insektenschutz für Weidetiere in der Schweiz und im Alpenraum: Eine systematische Literaturübersicht über in vitro‐, in vivo‐ und klinische Studien

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Biting or irritating insects are a threat to the health and welfare of grazing animals. This systematic review reveals that several shrubs and bushes growing in the alpine area have insecticidal, insect‐repellent and/or attractant properties. The alder Alnus glutinosa, juniper Juniperus communis, spruce Picea abies and walnut Juglans regia are ...

Composition of mosquito fauna and insecticide resistance status of Anopheles gambiae sensu lato in Itang special district, Gambella, Southwestern Ethiopia

Malaria Journal, 2022
Background Anopheles arabiensis, member species of the Anopheles gambiae complex, is the primary vector of malaria and is widely distributed in Ethiopia.

Genome-wide patterns of polymorphism in an inbred line of the African malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae. [PDF]

, 2014
Anopheles gambiae is a major mosquito vector of malaria in Africa. Although increased use of insecticide-based vector control tools has decreased malaria transmission, elimination is likely to require novel genetic control strategies.

Unravelling the biochemical aspects of the interaction between ticks and Leishmania using a tick cell line

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Leishmania infantum propagated in IDE8 tick cell line in vitro. L. infantum reduces tick cell viability and induces reactive oxygen species production. Lipidic profile of IDE8 tick cell line is altered during Leishmania infection. Abstract Leishmaniasis comprises a group of vector‐borne neglected tropical diseases caused by species of the obligatory ...

Full‐length coding sequence analysis of the voltage‐gated sodium channel and acetylcholinesterase genes reveals target‐site mutations and acetylcholinesterase gene duplication in housefly (Musca domestica) populations in Japanese livestock barns

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
We simultaneously analysed insecticide resistance mutations in VGSC and AChE using NGS and hybridization probe capture in houseflies collected from livestock facilities for the first time. Resistance mutations in both VGSC and AChE were detected in most wild populations, suggesting widespread distribution of resistance genes.

Multiple insecticide resistance target sites in adult field strains of An. gambiae (s.l.) from southeastern Senegal

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background High coverage of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) are the cornerstones of vector control strategy in Senegal where insecticide resistance by the target vectors species is a great of concern.

Zooprophylaxis as a control strategy for malaria caused by the vector Anopheles arabiensis (Diptera: Culicidae) : a systematic review [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Zooprophylaxis is the use of wild or domestic animals, which are not the reservoir host of a given disease, to divert the blood-seeking malaria vectors from human hosts.

A multiplex assay to detect mosquito species, bloodmeal host source and Plasmodium in malaria vectors using Nanopore amplicon sequencing

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Insectary‐reared mosquitoes were simultaneously assessed for species identification, bloodmeal source analysis and Plasmodium detection, using a single multiplexed sequencing run on the MinION sequencing platform. The method was applied to 150 insectary‐reared mosquitoes, representing nine species blood‐fed with five vertebrate hosts and 40 samples for

Molecular bases of insect odorant receptor function: specificity and evolution

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 1036-1049, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Insect odorant receptors (ORs) are a class of chemoreceptors that insects use to detect volatile cues in their environment. In recent years, major advances in the field of structural biology have made it possible to obtain the first structures of insect ORs.
