Anopheles stephensi ecology and control in Africa [PDF]

Trends in Parasitology, 2023
The encroachment and rapid spread of Anopheles stephensi across Africa presents a significant challenge to malaria control and elimination efforts. Understanding the ecology and behavior of An. stephensi will critically inform control measures and provide prerequisite knowledge for exploring new larval and adult control tools to contain its spread.

Cryopreservation of Anopheles stephensi embryos [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2022
AbstractThe ability to cryopreserve mosquitoes would revolutionize work on these vectors of major human infectious diseases by conserving stocks, new isolates, lab-bred strains, and transgenic lines that currently require continuous life cycle maintenance.

Ecology of Anopheles stephensi in a malarious area, southeast of Iran.

Acta medica Iranica, 2012
District of Jiroft is situated in south-east of Iran which is one of the malarious regions. Anopheles stephensi is considered as one of the main malaria vector in this region. Ecology of this species was studied in the area to understand its vector behavior for implementation of effective vector control measures. Different methods like total catch, pit
