Induction of long-lived potential aestivation states in laboratory An. gambiae mosquitoes

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background How anopheline mosquitoes persist through the long dry season in Africa remains a gap in our understanding of these malaria vectors. To span this period in locations such as the Sahelian zone of Mali, mosquitoes must either migrate to areas of

Evolutionary studies of malaria vectors

Trends in Parasitology, 2002
The rationales given for studies of the population genetics of vectors are usually: (1) to predict the spread of genes, such as genes conferring insecticide resistance or possibly refractoriness to parasites and (2) to reveal novel insights into the epidemiology and transmission of vector-borne disease.

A Non-Inferiority Evaluation of YAHE 4.0, an Alphacypermethrin-PBO Insecticide-Treated Net Against Pyrethroid Resistant Anopheles arabiensis in Experimental Huts in Moshi, North-Eastern Tanzania

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease
A new generation of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) that incorporate the synergist piperonyl butoxide (PBO) has been shown to restore susceptibility to pyrethroids where P450 enzymes are the primary mechanism conferring the resistance.

Isolation and identification of Asaia sp. in Anopheles spp. mosquitoes collected from Iranian malaria settings: steps toward applying paratransgenic tools against malaria

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background In recent years, the genus Asaia (Rhodospirillales: Acetobacteraceae) has been isolated from different Anopheles species and presented as a promising tool to combat malaria.

Malaria vector species in Colombia: a review [PDF]

Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2011
Here we present a comprehensive review of the literature on the vectorial importance of the major Anopheles malaria vectors in Colombia. We provide basic information on the geographical distribution, altitudinal range, immature habitats, adult behaviour, feeding preferences and anthropophily, endophily and infectivity rates.

Molecular characterization of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) in Lucilia sericata larvae for potential therapeutic applications

Electronic Journal of Biotechnology, 2017
Background: The salivary glands of Lucilia sericata are the first organs to express specific endopeptidase enzymes. These enzymes play a central role in wound healing, and they have potential to be used therapeutically.

[Malaria Vector Surveillance in 2024]. [PDF]

Jugan Geongang Gwa Jilbyeong
Effective malaria control requires early diagnosis, treatment, and vector mosquito management. In 2024, 94.1% of domestic malaria cases were reported in Seoul, Incheon, Gyeonggi, and Gangwon Provinces in the Republic of Korea. The Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency annually surveys the mosquito density to provide vector information in malaria ...

Identification, molecular characterization and expression of aminopeptidase N-1 (APN-1) from Anopheles stephensi in SF9 cell line as a candidate molecule for developing a vaccine that interrupt malaria transmission

Malaria Journal, 2020
Background According to the World Health Organization reports, billions of people around the world are at risk for malaria disease and it is important to consider the preventive strategies for protecting the people that are living in high risk areas. One

Artificial Intelligence‐Driven Network Pharmacology: A Methodological Paradigm Shift Bridging Traditional Wisdom and Modern Science

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
Artificial intelligence is redefining network pharmacology (NP). By integrating knowledge graph engineering, geometric deep learning, multiomics anchoring, and generative reasoning, AI‐driven NP (AI‐NP) transforms static target mapping into dynamic, predictive modeling.

The Biological Control of the Malaria Vector [PDF]

Toxins, 2012
The call for malaria control, over the last century, marked a new epoch in the history of this disease. Many control strategies targeting either the Plasmodium parasite or the Anopheles vector were shown to be effective. Yet, the emergence of drug resistant parasites and insecticide resistant mosquito strains, along with numerous health, environmental,
