Genomic Analysis Reveals a New Cryptic Taxon Within the Anopheles gambiae Complex With a Distinct Insecticide Resistance Profile in the Coast of East Africa

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 10, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Anopheles mosquitoes are major malaria vectors, encompassing several species complexes with diverse life histories, transmission risks and insecticide resistance profiles that challenge malaria control efforts. This study investigated the genetic structure and insecticide resistance profiles of Anopheles gambiae complex mosquitoes in Tanzania.

Clinical Relevance of Animal Models of Lymphatic Dysfunction and Lymphedema

Microcirculation, Volume 32, Issue 4, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Lymphedema is a chronic progressive condition, and treatment options are limited to physical therapy or surgical intervention, underscoring the need to develop preventative strategies. To do so, we must first understand the underlying mechanisms that contribute to the development of clinical lymphedema, which can be caused by a myriad of ...

Understanding the Effect of a Changing Climate on the Re‐Emergence of Mosquito‐Borne Diseases in Vulnerable Small Island Nations: A Systematic Review

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 72, Issue 3, Page 223-247, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction Drastic changes in meteorological variables due to climate change will likely have an implication on the proliferation of vectors such as mosquitoes. Extreme weather events may therefore promote the emergence/re‐emergence of mosquito‐borne diseases (MBDs) and potentiate the risk of endemicity, particularly, in small island nations.
