Ecological immunology of mosquito-malaria interactions: Of non-natural versus natural model systems and their inferences [PDF]

, 2009
There has been a recent shift in the literature on mosquito/Plasmodium interactions with an increasingly large number of theoretical and experimental studies focusing on their population biology and evolutionary processes.

Metabolic pathways inAnopheles stephensimitochondria [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 2008
No studies have been performed on the mitochondria of malaria vector mosquitoes. This information would be valuable in understanding mosquito aging and detoxification of insecticides, two parameters that have a significant impact on malaria parasite transmission in endemic regions.

Anopheles stephensi p38 MAPK signaling regulates innate immunity and bioenergetics during Plasmodium falciparum infection. [PDF]

, 2015
BackgroundFruit flies and mammals protect themselves against infection by mounting immune and metabolic responses that must be balanced against the metabolic needs of the pathogens.

First record of Anopheles stephensi in Sri Lanka: a potential challenge for prevention of malaria reintroduction

Malaria Journal, 2017
Background The major malaria vector in Sri Lanka is reported to be Anopheles culicifacies with Anopheles subpictus, Anopheles annularis, and Anopheles varuna considered as potential vectors.

Inference of the oxidative stress network in Anopheles stephensi upon Plasmodium infection. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Ookinete invasion of Anopheles midgut is a critical step for malaria transmission; the parasite numbers drop drastically and practically reach a minimum during the parasite's whole life cycle.

The angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene family of Anopheles gambiae [PDF]

, 2005
Background Members of the M2 family of peptidases, related to mammalian angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), play important roles in regulating a number of physiological processes.

Laser induced mortality of Anopheles stephensi mosquitoes [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2016
AbstractSmall, flying insects continue to pose great risks to both human health and agricultural production throughout the world, so there remains a compelling need to develop new vector and pest control approaches. Here, we examined the use of short (<25 ms) laser pulses to kill or disable anesthetized femaleAnopheles stephensimosquitoes, which ...

Speculation on the possibility for introducing Anopheles stephensi as a species complex: preliminary evidence based on odorant binding protein 1 intron I sequence

Malaria Journal, 2018
Background Anopheles stephensi is considered an important malaria vector in Iran, Asia, and recently in the Horn of Africa. Recently, Ansteobp1 intron I sequence has been introduced a new molecular marker for identification of its biological forms ...

Identification of a biological form in the Anopheles stephensi laboratory colony using the odorant-binding protein 1 intron I sequence.

PLoS ONE, 2022
BackgroundAnopheles stephensi Listen (1901) is a major vector of malaria in Asia and has recently been found in some regions of Africa. The An. stepehnsi species complex is suspected to have three sibling species: type, intermediate, and mysorensis, each

Relative Toxicity of Leaf Extracts of Eucalyptus globulus and Centella asiatica against Mosquito Vectors Aedes aegypti and Anopheles stephensi [PDF]

, 2014
The larvicidal activity of different solvent leaf extracts (hexane, diethyl ether, dichloromethane, and methanol) of Eucalyptus globulus and Centella asiatica against two geographically different strains of Aedes aegypti and Anopheles stephensi was ...
