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.

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

Malaria mosquito antimicrobial defence requires immunity and detoxification gene regulation by Lola

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 576-593, October 2026.
Malaria mosquito antimicrobial defence requires upregulation of lola. Attenuation of lola in the midgut of Anopheles albimanus mosquitoes inhibits the upregulation of immunity genes induced by challenge. Putative target genes of the Lola transcription factor were revealed by lola attenuation, including Cecropin‐C, Draper, PPAF2, Clip‐domain serine ...

Effectiveness of synthetic versus natural human volatiles as attractants for Anopheles gambiae (Diptera: Culicidae) sensu stricto [PDF]

, 2010
Females of the African malaria vector, Anopheles gambiae Giles sensu stricto, use human volatiles to find their blood-host. Previous work has shown that ammonia, lactic acid, and aliphatic carboxylic acids significantly affect host orientation and ...

Genome‐wide identification of olfactory receptor and odorant‐binding protein gene families and their roles in Heliothine chemosensory evolution

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 594-612, October 2026.
Genome‐wide systematic annotation identified 81 odorant receptors (ORs) and 49 odorant‐binding proteins (OBPs) in the tobacco budworm, Chloridea virescens. Phylogenetic analyses revealed chemosensory gene diversification in Heliothinae and extensive lineage‐specific duplications in C.

Hybridization studies to modify the host preference of Anopheles gambiae.

, 2014
A strategy to decrease the vector competence of Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto (Diptera: Culicidae), the most efficient malaria vector in Africa, may consist of exploiting the genes involved in zoophily.

Laboratory evaluation of fipronil, a phenylpyrazole insecticide, against adult Anopheles (Diptera: Culicidae) and investigation of its possible cross-resistance with dieldrin in Anopheles stephensi. [PDF]

, 2001
Adult mosquitoes from two strains of Anopheles gambiae and from three strains of Anopheles stephensi were exposed to 0.25% fipronil-treated papers in WHO test kits or to 500 mg fipronil m-2 impregnated mosquito netting in bioassay spheres. For comparison,

Predictive Modelling of Climate‐Driven Malaria Transmission for Optimal Control Using a Coupled SEIR–SEI and GIS Framework

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
A climate‐sensitive SEIR–SEI model coupled with GIS mapping across Zimbabwe's Mberengwa District projected a 4‐fold rise in malaria transmission under mid‐century warming. However, it showed that indoor residual spraying at 80% coverage can still achieve elimination, prioritising five high‐risk catchments for climate‐resilient intervention.

Comparative susceptibility to Plasmodium falciparum of the molecular forms M and S of Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles arabiensis

Malaria Journal, 2011
Background The different taxa belonging to Anopheles gambiae complex display phenotypic differences that may impact their contribution to malaria transmission.

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

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 465-477, September 2026.
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
