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.

Identification of two insecticide resistance markers in Ethiopian Anopheles stephensi mosquitoes using a multiplex amplicon sequencing assay

Scientific Reports, 2023
Since its first detection in 2012 in Djibouti, Anopheles stephensi has invaded and established in the Horn of Africa, and more recently Nigeria.

First report of Anopheles stephensi in Southern Ethiopia [PDF]

, 2023
Abstract Background Anopheles stephensi is an emerging exotic invasive urban vector of malaria in East Africa. The World Health Organization recently announced an initiative to take concerted actions to limit this vector's expansion by strengthening surveillance and control in invaded and potentially receptive territories in Africa.

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.

Building the vector in: construction practices and the invasion and persistence of Anopheles stephensi in Jigjiga, Ethiopia

Lancet Planetary Health, 2023
Anopheles stephensi is a major vector of malaria in Asia and the Arabian Peninsula, and its recent invasion into Africa poses a major threat to malaria control and elimination efforts on the continent.

Differential susceptibilities of Anopheles albimanus and Anopheles stephensi mosquitoes to ivermectin [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2018
Vector control is a crucial element of anti-malaria campaigns and works best when there is a thorough knowledge of the biology and behaviour of the Anopheles vector species responsible for transmitting malaria within a given locale. With the push to eradicate malaria stronger than ever, there is a growing need to develop and deploy control strategies ...

Effects of Temperature and Nutrition during the Larval Period on Life History Traits in an Invasive Malaria Vector Anopheles stephensi

Insects, 2023
Simple Summary Anopheles stephensi is an Asian malaria vector, and it has recently been discovered in Africa since 2012 and is still likely to expand its distribution there. Anopheles stephensi differs from other African malaria vectors in that it breeds

Susceptibility of Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles stephensi to tropical isolates of Plasmodium falciparum [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2007
Abstract Background The susceptibility of anopheline mosquito species to Plasmodium infection is known to be variable with some mosquitoes more permissive to infection than others. Little work, however, has been carried out investigating the susceptibility of major malaria vectors to geographically diverse tropical ...

First detection of Anopheles stephensi in Ghana using molecular surveillance

bioRxiv, 2023
The invasive Anopheles stephensi mosquito has been rapidly expanding in range in Africa over the last decade, spreading from the Indian sub-continent to several East African countries (Djibouti, Ethiopia, Sudan, Somalia and Kenya) and now in West Africa,

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 ...
