Phylogeny of Anophelinae using mitochondrial protein coding genes [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2017
Malaria is a vector-borne disease that is a great burden on the poorest and most marginalized communities of the tropical and subtropical world. Approximately 41 species of Anopheline mosquitoes can effectively spread species of Plasmodium parasites that

Distribution of Anophelinae (Diptera: Culicidae) and challenges for malaria elimination in Brazil [PDF]

Memorias Do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz
In 1909, Arthur Neiva published an article titled “Contribuição para os estudos dos dipteros. Observação sobre a biolojia e sistematica das anofelinas brasileiras e suas relações com o impaludismo”, highlighting the biology, ecology, and distribution of Anophelinae mosquitoes and the need for more taxonomic studies in Brazil.

Culicidae vector ecology in southern Iran: Integrating Faunistics and molecular analysis of blood-feeding preferences to strengthen malaria surveillance in transition zones [PDF]

Parasite Epidemiology and Control
Culicidae mosquitoes are pivotal vectors of malaria and arboviral diseases, necessitating continuous surveillance in transitional zones where ecological and anthropogenic factors amplify transmission risks.

Species Diversity of Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) in Various Coastal Bioecological Regions of Southern Iran. [PDF]

J Trop Med
Blood‐feeding mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) impose a major public‐health burden in tropical regions of the world. They transmit many pathogens to humans and domesticated animals. This study investigated the diversity and abundance of mosquito larvae and adults in nine bioecological regions of Bushehr Province, southern Iran, from May to December 2022.

Vector role and human biting activity of Anophelinae mosquitoes in different landscapes in the Brazilian Amazon [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background Environmental disturbance, deforestation and socioeconomic factors all affect malaria incidence in tropical and subtropical endemic areas. Deforestation is the major driver of habitat loss and fragmentation, which frequently leads to shifts in

Genetic Diversity and Phylogenetic Relationships of Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) in Central Nepal [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study presents a molecular survey of mosquitoes in central Nepal, analyzing 18 species across eight genera using mitochondrial COI sequencing. The results revealed significant genetic divergence, clarify phylogenetic relationships, and confirm the presence of newly recorded species, including Aedes japonicus, Anopheles farauti, and Culex sasai ...

The chromosome-scale genome assembly for the West Nile vector Culex quinquefasciatus uncovers patterns of genome evolution in mosquitoes [PDF]

BMC Biology
Background Understanding genome organization and evolution is important for species involved in transmission of human diseases, such as mosquitoes.

A novel broad-spectrum antibacterial and anti-malarial Anopheles gambiae Cecropin promotes microbial clearance during pupation. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens
Anophelinae mosquitoes are exposed to a variety of microbes including Plasmodium parasites that cause malaria. When infected, mosquitoes mount versatile immune responses, including the production of antimicrobial peptides.

Cladistic analysis of the subgenus Anopheles (Anopheles) Meigen (Diptera: Culicidae) based on morphological characters [PDF]

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2007
In the present study, we used morphological characters to estimate phylogenetic relationships among members of the subgenus Anopheles Meigen. Phylogenetic analyses were carried out for 36 species of Anopheles (Anopheles). An.

Investigation on key aspects of mating biology in the mosquito Aedes koreicus

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 37, Issue 4, Page 826-833, December 2023., 2023
A laboratory colony of Aedes koreicus derived from the area of initial introduction and establishment in Italy did not display autogenic behaviour. We observed repeated attempts at insemination and an aggressive and disruptive behaviour of Aedes albopictus males towards Ae.
