Mosquito age and avian malaria infection [PDF]
Malaria Journal, 2015 The immune system of many insects wanes dramatically with age, leading to the general prediction that older insects should be more susceptible to infection than their younger counterparts. This prediction is however challenged by numerous studies showing that older insects are more resistant to a range of pathogens.

Low prevalence of Plasmodium and absence of malaria transmission in Conakry, Guinea : prospects for elimination [PDF]
, 2016 Over the past 15 years, mortality and morbidity due to malaria have been reduced substantially in sub-Saharan Africa and local elimination has been achieved in some settings.

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2011 Avian malaria parasites (Plasmodium) have a worldwide distribution except for Antarctica. They are transmitted exclusively by mosquito vectors (Diptera: Culicidae) and are of particular interest to health care research due to their phylogenetic ...

International Journal of Parasitology, 2021 Host phylogenetic relatedness and ecological similarity are thought to contribute to parasite community assembly and infection rates. However, recent landscape level anthropogenic changes may disrupt host-parasite systems by impacting functional and ...

Genomic advances in the study of the mosquito vector during avian malaria infection
Parasitology, 2023 Invertebrate host–parasite associations are one of the keystones in order to understand vector-borne diseases. The study of these specific interactions provides information not only about how the vector is affected by the parasite at the gene-expression ...
