Ecology of malaria vectors in the Americas and future direction [PDF]
Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1992 The resurgence of malaria in the Americas has renewed interest in Anopheles biology. Anopheles darlingi, An. albimanus, An. nuneztovai and An. aquasalis are reconfirmed as major malaria vectors and other species are playing important roles in regional malaria transmission. Adult biting activity and larval ecology are discussed in detail.

Ecology of parasite-vector interactions: expect the unexpected [PDF]
, 2013 As revealed by the previous chapters, a wealth of information has become available on the biology and ecology of parasite-vector interactions. This has led to a greater understanding of the more fundamental aspects on how parasites manipulate their arthropod hosts, as well as on how the arthropod’s immune system responds to this. Most interestingly, it

Ecology of urban malaria vectors in Niamey, Republic of Niger [PDF]
Malaria Journal, 2016 Urbanization in African cities has major impact on malaria risk. Niamey, the capital of the Republic of Niger, is situated in the West African Sahel zone. The short rainy season and human activities linked with the Niger River influence mosquito abundance.

Ecological effects on underdominance threshold drives for vector control [PDF]
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2018 Underdominance gene drives are frequency-dependent drives that aim to spread a desired homozygote genotype within a population. When the desired homozygote is released above a threshold frequency, heterozygote fitness disadvantage acts to drive the desired trait to fixation.
