Change in Composition of the Anopheles Gambiae Complex and its Possible Implications for the Transmission of Malaria and Lymphatic Filariasis in North-Eastern Tanzania. [PDF]

, 2012
A dramatic decline in the incidence of malaria due to Plasmodium falciparum infection in coastal East Africa has recently been reported to be paralleled (or even preceded) by an equally dramatic decline in malaria vector density, despite absence of ...

Systematic studies on Anopheles galvaoi Causey, Deane & Deane from the subgenus Nysssorhynchus blanchard (Diptera: Culicidae)

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2002
Anopheles galvaoi, a member of the subgenus Nyssorhynchus, is redescribed based on morphological characters of the adults male and female, fourth-instar larva and pupa. Female, male genitalia, larval and pupal stages are illustrated.

Review of genetic diversity in malaria vectors (Culicidae: Anophelinae)

Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2012
We review previous studies on the genetic diversity of malaria vectors to highlight the major trends in population structure and demographic history. In doing so, we outline key information about molecular markers, sampling strategies and approaches to investigate the causes of genetic structure in Anopheles mosquitoes.

K‐mer‐Based Motif Analysis in Insect Species across Anopheles, Drosophila, and Glossina Genera and Its Application to Species Classification

Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
Short k‐mer sequences from DNA are both conserved and diverged across species owing to their functional significance in speciation, which enables their use in many species classification algorithms. In the present study, we developed a methodology to analyze the DNA k‐mers of whole genome, 5′ UTR, intron, and 3′ UTR regions from 58 insect species ...

Positive selection in multiple salivary gland proteins of Anophelinae reveals potential targets for vector control [PDF]

Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2021
AbstractAnophelesis a genus belonging to the Culicidae family, which has great medical importance due to its role as a vector ofPlasmodium, the parasite responsible for malaria. FromAnopheles’functional genomics, great focus has been given to the salivary gland proteins (SGPs) group. This class of proteins is essential to blood-feeding behavior as they

Biological Control of Mosquito‐Borne Diseases: The Potential of Wolbachia‐Based Interventions in an IVM Framework

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
People living in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world face an enormous health burden due to mosquito‐borne diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, and filariasis. Historically and today, targeting mosquito vectors with, primarily, insecticide‐based control strategies have been a key control strategy against major mosquito‐borne diseases ...
