The role of water temperature and food availability in shaping immunity and body condition of Odonata: Impacts of deprivation on larval development

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.
Larvae of Aeshna cyanea were reared at 17 or 21°C and fed either once or three times per week. Body condition and immune parameters were measured. Elevated temperature reduced haemocyte density. Low food availability reduced phenoloxidase (PO) activity, protein and fat content and growth.

Pyrethroid resistance/susceptibility and differential urban/rural distribution of Anopheles arabiensis and An. gambiae s.s. malaria vectors in Nigeria and Ghana.

, 2003
Resistance to pyrethroid insecticides and DDT caused by the kdr gene in the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae Giles s.s. (Diptera: Culicidae) has been reported in several West African countries.

A reliable morphological method to assess the age of male Anopheles gambiae [PDF]

, 2006
<b>Background</b> Release of genetically-modified (GM) or sterile male mosquitoes for malaria control is hampered by inability to assess the age and mating history of free-living male <i>Anopheles</i>. <b>Methods</b&

Transposable Element–Driven PIEZO Mutation Enhances Locust Flight in Plateau Hypoxia

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 57, 14 October 2026.
Why transposable elements (TEs) persisted or expanded in genomes remains a mystery. Using integrated analysis of TE macro‐ and microevolution in locusts, our results showed that thousands of TE insertions promoted widespread adaptive variation. Subfamilies of candidate adaptive TEs amplified and reshaped species‐level genomic architecture.

Development of a gravid trap for collecting live malaria vectors Anopheles gambiae s.l. [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: Effective malaria vector control targeting indoor host-seeking mosquitoes has resulted in fewer vectors entering houses in many areas of sub-Saharan Africa, with the proportion of vectors outdoors becoming more important in the transmission ...

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.

Mosaic Genome Architecture of the Anopheles gambiae Species Complex

PLoS ONE, 2007
Attempts over the last three decades to reconstruct the phylogenetic history of the Anopheles gambiae species complex have been important for developing better strategies to control malaria transmission.We used fingerprint genotyping data from 414 field-collected female mosquitoes at 42 microsatellite loci to infer the evolutionary relationships of ...

Innate preference for host-odor blends modulates degree of anthropophagy of Anopheles gambiae sensu lato (Diptera: Culicidae) [PDF]

, 2001
In field studies, Anopheles gambiae Giles sensu stricto obtains most blood meals from humans, whereas Anopheles quadriannulatus Theobald bites predominantly bovids. We investigated whether host odors modulate the host preference of these mosquito species.

Trends in the selection of insecticide resistance in Anopheles gambiae s.l. mosquitoes in northwest Tanzania during a community randomized trial of longlasting insecticidal nets and indoor residual spraying. [PDF]

, 2014
Anopheles gambiae s.l. (Diptera: Culicidae) in Muleba, Tanzania has developed high levels of resistance to most insecticides currently advocated for malaria control. The kdr mutation has almost reached fixation in An. gambiae s.s. in Muleba.

Estimation of Adult Census Size From Close‐Kin Dyads in the Malaria Mosquito Anopheles gambiae

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Accurate estimates of adult mosquito abundance are central to the design and evaluation of vector control strategies, yet they are difficult to obtain from natural populations. Conventional mark‐recapture methods for estimating adult mosquito census size pose logistical and other challenges. A recently developed close‐kin mark‐recapture (CKMR)
