Functional redundancy dampens precipitation change impacts on species‐rich invertebrate communities across the Neotropics

Functional Ecology, Volume 36, Issue 7, Page 1559-1572, July 2022., 2022
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Animal community responses to extreme climate events can be predicted from the functional traits represented within communities. However, it is unclear whether geographic variation in the response of functional community structure to climate change is primarily driven ...

Colonisation resistance in the sand fly gut:Leishmania protects Lutzomyia longipalpis from bacterial infection [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND: Phlebotomine sand flies transmit the haemoflagellate Leishmania, the causative agent of human leishmaniasis. The Leishmania promastigotes are confined to the gut lumen and are exposed to the gut microbiota within female sand flies.

Ecological Niche Modeling of Seventeen Sandflies Species (Diptera, Psychodidae, Phlebotominae) from Venezuela

International Journal of Zoology, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
The purpose of this study is to create distribution models of seventeen Lutzomyia species in Venezuela. Presence records were obtained from field collections over 30 years by several research teams. We used maximum entropy method for model construction based on 30 arc‐second resolution environmental layers: 19 bioclimatic variables, elevation, and land

ABCH2 transporter mediates deltamethrin uptake and toxicity in the malaria vector Anopheles coluzzii

PLoS Pathogens, 2023
Contact insecticides are primarily used for the control of Anopheles malaria vectors. These chemicals penetrate mosquito legs and other appendages; the first barriers to reaching their neuronal targets.

Attraction Of The Sand Fly Nyssomyia Neivai (diptera: Psychodidae) To Chemical Compounds In A Wind Tunnel. [PDF]

, 2015
Similar to other hematophagous insects, male and female sand flies must feed on plants to obtain sugar and, subsequently, energy to complete their life cycles.

Evidence for a role of Anopheles stephensi in the spread of drug- and diagnosis-resistant malaria in Africa

Nature Medicine, 2023
Anopheles stephensi , an Asian malaria vector, continues to expand across Africa. The vector is now firmly established in urban settings in the Horn of Africa.

Annotated checklist, distribution, and taxonomic bibliography of the mosquitoes (Insecta: Diptera: Culicidae) of Argentina [PDF]

, 2015
A decade and a half have passed since the last publication of the mosquito distribution list in Argentina. During this time several new records have been added, and taxonomic modifications have occurred at the genus and subgenus level.

Dual effector population modification gene-drive strains of the African malaria mosquitoes, Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles coluzzii

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2023
Significance Novel genetic strategies for the malaria eradication agenda exploit Cas9/gRNA (guide RNA)-based autonomous gene-drive systems carrying antiparasite effector genes, and these effectively reduce prevalence and numbers of the human parasite ...

Changes in contributions of different Anopheles vector species to malaria transmission in east and southern Africa from 2000 to 2022

Parasites & Vectors, 2023
Background Malaria transmission in Africa is facilitated by multiple species of Anopheles mosquitoes. These vectors have different behaviors and vectorial capacities and are affected differently by vector control interventions, such as insecticide ...
