Larvicidal and Ovicidal Effects of Methanol Extracts From Selected Ethiopian Medicinal Plants Against Anopheles arabiensis and Aedes aegypti

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Synthetic insecticides face challenges, such as resistance, environmental damage, and harm to nontarget species, highlighting the need for alternative methods. Medicinal plants, along with their bioactive compounds, offer a promising solution. Objective This study investigated the efficacy of methanol extracts derived from traditionally used

Anopheles stephensi ecology and control in Africa

Trends in Parasitology
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.

Engineered single nucleotide polymorphisms in the mosquito MEK docking site alter Plasmodium berghei development in Anopheles gambiae. [PDF]

, 2014
BackgroundSusceptibility to Plasmodium infection in Anopheles gambiae has been proposed to result from naturally occurring polymorphisms that alter the strength of endogenous innate defenses.

Iran’s Journey Through Malaria: From Past Challenges to Future Elimination—A Narrative Review

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Malaria remains a persistent public health concern in Iran, particularly in southeastern regions bordering Afghanistan and Pakistan. Despite substantial progress over recent decades, challenges such as cross‐border transmission, insecticide resistance, and health system disruptions continue to threaten elimination goals.

DDT-resistance in Anopheles stephensi.

Bulletin of the World Health Organization, 1998
In view of the increasing number of reports from different parts of the world indicating resistance to DDT in both adults and larvae of Anopheles stephensi, an important malaria vector, a series of laboratory studies has been carried out on the degree, the pattern and the mode of inheritance of resistance in this species.

Modeling Control of Invasive Fire Ants by Gene Drive

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 46, December 11, 2025.
The fire ant Solenopsis invicta is characterized by exceptional invasive capabilities, rendering conventional control ineffective. Here, we explore the use of homing suppression gene drive in fire ants by developing a spatially explicit model. Overall, these results show that target population suppression requires an extended time scale, but that gene ...

AgamOBP1‐Directed Discovery of Repellents to Control the Spread of Mosquito‐Borne Diseases

ChemMedChem, Volume 20, Issue 21, November 6, 2025.
Toward the discovery of novel mosquito repellents, a library of potential binders of AgamOBP1 (secondary amines) generated from two amines and seven aldehydes was designed aiming to enable interactions with critical amino acids at the DEET‐site and to bridge the DEET‐ and Icaridin sIC‐binding pockets. 1H STD NMR spectroscopy in the presence of AgamOBP1
