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&

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 ...

Developmental expression of Ap‐Vas proteins in aphids and flies reveals their evolutionary roles in insects

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 217-231, June 2026.
Duplication of vas genes is universally observed in aphids, and phylogenetic analysis indicates that this event predates the divergence of Aphididae and Phylloxeridae. Ap‐vas1 is germline‐specific, whereas Ap‐vas2–4 exhibit somatic expression, indicating functional divergence during aphid embryogenesis.

Spatial distribution of malaria transmission in relationship to "Anopheles gambiae" complex members in Sudan savanna and irrigated rice cultivation areas of Mali [PDF]

, 2007
Malaria remains a major public health problem that is exacerbated by poor implementation of control measures, and by the spread of drug-resistant parasites and insecticide resistant vectors. Preventive measures, including those targeted at vectors, are

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, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 221-245, June 2026.
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 ...

Clarification of anomalies in the application of a 2La molecular karyotyping method for the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae [PDF]

, 2008
BACKGROUND:Chromosomal inversions have been considered to be potentially important barriers to gene flow in many groups of animals through their effect on recombination suppression in heterokaryotypic individuals.

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

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 350-359, June 2026.
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 ...

Utilization of ‘swamp’ rice fields by members of the anopheles Gambiae complex in Gambia [PDF]

, 2009
Background Whilst it is well known that rice production in Africa increases the production of Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes, most studies have investigated this in irrigation schemes. Here I examine the colonisation of 'swamp' rice fields by An.
