Preimaginal development of Aedes aegypti L. (Diptera: Culicidae) in brackish water gives rise to adult mosquitoes with thicker cuticles and greater insecticide resistance

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
The principal arboviral vector Aedes aegypti can develop in coastal brackish water field habitats (0.5–15 g/L salt) with larvae possessing thicker cuticles and greater resistance to the larvicide Temephos. Females emerging from brackish water‐developing preimaginal stages are now shown to have thicker and remodelled leg and abdominal cuticles and ...

Effects of Asaia spp. on the development, size and associated microbiomes of two mosquito species of medical importance

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Addition of Asaia species to the rearing water of mosquito larvae can affect the structure of the larval microbiome, although these bacteria do not persist to the pupal stage. Asaia inoculation can increase the adult size of males of two mosquito species. The impact of Asaia inoculation on development rate and female size depended on bacterial and host

Anopheline bionomics, insecticide resistance and transnational dispersion in the context of controlling a possible recurrence of malaria transmission in Jaffna city in northern Sri Lanka

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background Malaria was eliminated from Sri Lanka in 2013. However, the influx of infected travelers and the presence of potent anopheline vectors can re-initiate transmission in Jaffna city, which is separated by a narrow strait from the malaria-endemic ...

Assessing the Use of Oxford Nanopore Technologies Sequencing for Detection of Stable Wolbachia Bacterial Strain in Symbiosis in Wild Anopheles Mosquitoes From the WHO African Region

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 10, October 2026.
This study assesses Oxford Nanopore Technology sequencing to detect Wolbachia in Anopheles mosquitoes. To do this, samples were analysed using the ONT field sequencing kit and sequenced using a minION flow cell and the ONT 16S barcoding kit and Rapid barcoding kit sequenced using Flongle flow cells.

Susceptibility of wild and colonized Anopheles stephensi to Plasmodium vivax infection

Malaria Journal, 2018
Background As much as 80% of global Plasmodium vivax infections occur in South Asia and there is a shortage of direct studies on infectivity of P. vivax in Anopheles stephensi, the most common urban mosquito carrying human malaria.

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 ...

Susceptibility Status of Anopheles Stephensi Liston the Main Malaria Vector, to Deltamethrin and Bacillus Thuringiensis in the Endemic Malarious Area of Hormozgan Province, Southern Iran [PDF]

Journal of Kerman University of Medical Sciences, 2012
Background & Aims: Anopheles stephensi is one of the most important malaria vectors in Hormozgan province, southern Iran. This species with high density has an effective role in malaria transmission, especially in plain and coastal areas. At present, the

A Genetically Encoded Marker for Imaging of Internal Plasmodium Membranes

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 126, Issue 4, Page 462-472, October 2026.
IMMP is a peptide‐based marker that labels internal membranes across multiple stages and species of the malaria‐causing parasite Plasmodium. It works in both live and fixed samples and supports long‐term live‐cell imaging. ABSTRACT Fluorescence microscopy is a powerful tool to analyze the subcellular architecture, and long‐term live‐cell imaging ...

Optimal life stage for radiation sterilization of Anopheles males and their fitness for release.

, 2005
Mating by male Anopheles mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) was evaluated in the laboratory to assess fitness effects of radio-sterilization applied during different life stages of the malaria vectors An. stephensi Liston and An. gambiae Giles sensu stricto.
