Strategies for conducting Anopheles stephensi surveys in non-endemic areas

Acta Tropica, 2022
Anopheles stephensi, a malaria vector species previously only known from Asia, was first detected in Africa in Djibouti in 2012, has been subsequently collected in Ethiopia, Sudan, and Somalia, and may be spreading further.

Distinct Swimming Behaviours in Pupae of Aedes, Anopheles and Culex Mosquitoes

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
As improving our understanding of the ecology of mosquitoes, in particular of their juvenile stages, is required to develop or refine control strategies to prevent the transmission of deadly diseases, we here investigated the pupal surface swimming behaviour in 11 mosquito species of the genera Aedes, Anopheles and Culex.

Prevalence of Malaria and Associated Factors Among Adult Population in Borama Community, Somaliland: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Malaria is a global public health problem and remains a significant public health challenge in Somaliland, with a high burden of morbidity and mortality, particularly among vulnerable populations. Moreover, malaria infection in adults is a serious public health concern in tropical and subtropical areas, posing a severe risk.

Operationalising Environmental DNA (eDNA) Detection of Major Malaria Vector Species in Ghana

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 5, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The global landscape of vector‐borne diseases (VBDs) is shifting, driven by climate change, urbanisation and widespread habitat modification, requiring novel approaches to surveillance, prevention and control. To improve our capacity to respond to real‐time emergent VBD threats, this study undertook cross‐sectional sampling of suspected ...

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Multi‐Omics Analyses Elucidate the Venom Components of the Wasp Vespa mandarinia

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
The wasp Vespa mandarinia was widely reared in Yunnan province. The venom was responsible for their aggressive behavior. Tweety proteases, hyaluronidase, venom dipeptidyl peptidase 4, and phospholipase A1 and A2 isozyme were identified. In addition, organic heterocyclic compounds, organic acids, and derivatives were found.
