Gene copy number and function of the APL1 immune factor changed during Anopheles evolution

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background The recent reference genome assembly and annotation of the Asian malaria vector Anopheles stephensi detected only one gene encoding the leucine-rich repeat immune factor APL1, while in the Anopheles gambiae and sibling Anopheles coluzzii, APL1

A Simple CO₂ Generating System Incorporated with CDC Light Trap for Sampling Mosquito Vectors

Insects, 2022
Traps for capturing mosquitoes and other blood-feeding arthropods are often baited with carbon dioxide (CO2) as an attractant. Dry ice is popularly used as a CO2 source due to its high efficiency and ease of use.

Progression of Watermelon Bud Necrosis Virus Infection in Its Vector, Thrips palmi

Cells, 2021
Thrips are important pests of agricultural, horticultural, and forest crops worldwide. In addition to direct damages caused by feeding, several thrips species can transmit diverse tospoviruses. The present understanding of thrips–tospovirus relationships

Late-acting dominant lethal genetic systems and mosquito control. [PDF]

, 2007
BACKGROUND: Reduction or elimination of vector populations will tend to reduce or eliminate transmission of vector-borne diseases. One potential method for environmentally-friendly, species-specific population control is the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT)

Highly focused transcriptional response of Anopheles coluzzii to O’nyong nyong arbovirus during the primary midgut infection

BMC Genomics, 2018
Background Anopheles mosquitoes are efficient vectors of human malaria, but it is unknown why they do not transmit viruses as well as Aedes and Culex mosquitoes.

Learning and Memory in Disease Vector Insects [PDF]

Trends in Parasitology, 2016
Learning and memory plays an important role in host preference and parasite transmission by disease vector insects. Historically there has been a dearth of standardized protocols that permit testing their learning abilities, thus limiting discussion on the potential epidemiological consequences of learning and memory to a largely speculative extent ...

Spatial and temporal distribution of the malaria mosquito Anopheles arabiensis in northern Sudan: influence of environmental factors and implications for vector control. [PDF]

, 2009
BACKGROUND: Malaria is an important public health problem in northern Sudan, but little is known about the dynamics of its transmission. Given the characteristic low densities of Anopheles arabiensis and the difficult terrain in this area, future vector ...
