Constituents of the Essential Oil of Suregada Zanzibariensis Leaves are Repellent to the Mosquito, Anopheles Gambiae s.s. [PDF]

, 2010
In traditional African communities, repellent volatiles from certain plants generated by direct burning or by thermal expulsion have played an important role in protecting households against vectors of malaria and other diseases.

Composition of Anopheles Species Collected from Selected Malarious Areas of Afghanistan and Iran

Journal of Arthropod-Borne Diseases, 2017
Background: Malarious areas in Iran are close to Afghanistan and Pakistan that urge the researchers to extend their knowledge on malaria epidemiology to the neighboring countries as well. Vectorial capacity differs at species or even at population level,

A systematic review of interventions targeting Anopheles stephensi

Wellcome Open Research
Background Anopheles stephensi , a malaria mosquito originally from South Asia and the Middle East, has been expanding across both Asia and Africa in recent decades. The invasion of this species into sub-Saharan Africa is of particular concern given its potential to increase malaria burden ...

First detection and entomological characterisation of invasive malaria vector Anopheles stephensi in sympatry with other vectors in Gayi Southern Niger Republic

Scientific Reports
Anopheles stephensi, an invasive vector is aggressively expanding its geographic range across Africa, posing significant threat to malaria control. Surveillance of its spread is crucial for mitigating its impact on malaria transmission.

Comparative assessment of An. gambiae and An. stephensi mosquitoes to determine transmission-reducing activity of antibodies against P. falciparum sexual stage antigens

Parasites & Vectors, 2017
Background With the increasing interest in vaccines to interrupt malaria transmission, there is a demand for harmonization of current methods to assess Plasmodium transmission in laboratory settings.

Characterization of the 3-HKT gene in important malaria vectors in India, viz: Anopheles culicifacies and Anopheles stephensi (Diptera: Culicidae)

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2008
The 3-hydroxykynurenine transaminase (3-HKT) gene plays a vital role in the development of malaria parasites by participating in the synthesis of xanthurenic acid, which is involved in the exflagellation of microgametocytes in the midgut of malaria ...

piRNA genes in Anopheles stephensi

, 2014
The ability of transposons to mobilize to new places in a genome enables them to introgress rapidly into populations. The piRNA pathway has been characterized recently in the germ line of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, and is responsible for downregulating transposon mobility.

“Salivary gland cellular architecture in the Asian malaria vector mosquito Anopheles stephensi”

Parasites & Vectors, 2015
Background Anopheles mosquitoes are vectors for malaria, a disease with continued grave outcomes for human health. Transmission of malaria from mosquitoes to humans occurs by parasite passage through the salivary glands (SGs).
