Behavioral cost & overdominance in Anopheles gambiae. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
In response to the widespread use of control strategies such as Insecticide Treated Nets (ITN), Anopheles mosquitoes have evolved various resistance mechanisms.

Long‐term impact of exposure to Royal Guard, a pyriproxyfen‐based bed net, on pyrethroid‐resistant malaria vectors from Cameroon using DNA‐based metabolic resistance markers

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 2165-2180, April 2025.
We used recently detected P450 DNA‐based markers of pyrethroid resistance in both Anopheles funestus and Anopheles gambiae to demonstrate that although pyrethroid‐resistant mosquitoes have higher ability to survive and live longer after exposure to Royal Guard, this net significantly affects their lifespan, blood feeding ability and interestingly ...

Cis-regulatory CYP6P9b P450 variants associated with loss of insecticide-treated bed net efficacy against Anopheles funestus

Nature Communications, 2019
Bed nets treated with insecticides have been instrumental in reducing malaria mortality, but insecticide resistance is on the rise. Here, Mugenzi et al.

Which family members use the best nets? An analysis of the condition of mosquito nets and their distribution within households in Tanzania. [PDF]

, 2010
BACKGROUND: Household ownership of insecticide-treated mosquito nets (ITNs) is increasing, and coverage targets have been revised to address universal coverage with ITNs.

AGRICULTURE IN A SOCIALIST CITY: Towards an Alter‐Urban Political Ecology

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Urban political ecology has developed as a critique of capitalist urbanization. This article develops the concept of alter‐urban political ecology to define urban environments emerging not from capitalist urbanization but from efforts to transform it. Drawing on archival research and ethnographic fieldwork in five urban farms in socialist Cuba,

Species shifts in the Anopheles gambiae complex: do LLINs successfully control Anopheles arabiensis? [PDF]

, 2012
INTRODUCTION: High coverage of conventional and long-lasting insecticide treated nets (ITNs and LLINs) in parts of E Africa are associated with reductions in local malaria burdens.

Methods for entomological evaluation of insecticide treated bed net trials [PDF]

, 1999
This thesis is divided into 3 parts. The first part reports the effect of community-wide use of bed nets treated with lambdacyhalothrin (10mg/m2), on malaria vector Anopheles gambiae in Southern Sierra Leone. In the first year of the trial, 16 villages were randomly allocated to either remain without treated nets or to receive treated nets for all the ...

Impact of insecticide-treated bed nets on malaria transmission indices on the south coast of Kenya [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2011
Besides significantly reducing malaria vector densities, prolonged usage of bed nets has been linked to decline of Anopheles gambiae s.s. relative to Anopheles arabiensis, changes in host feeding preference of malaria vectors, and behavioural shifts to exophagy (outdoor biting) for the two important malaria vectors in Africa, An. gambiae s.l.

Assessment of Small‐Scale Laboratory Rearing Systems for Frankliniella occidentalis (Western Flower Thrips) Using a Single Female

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Reliable laboratory rearing of Frankliniella occidentalis is critical for experimental consistency in entomological research. This study validates and optimises three small‐scale rearing systems initiated from a single female thrips using various organic fruits, flowers and pollen as feed, along with moist cotton, blotting paper and ...
