High Transmission Potential of West Nile Virus Lineage 1 for Cx. pipiens s.l. of Iran
Viruses, 2020 Vector competence is an important parameter in evaluating whether a species plays a role in transmission of an arbovirus. Although the protocols are similar, interpretation of results is unique given the specific interactions that exist between a ...

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

Zoom in at African Country level: Potential Climate Induced Changes in Areas of Suitability for Survival of Malaria Vectors [PDF]
, 2014 Predicting anopheles vectors’ population densities and boundary shifts is crucial in preparing for malaria risks and unanticipated outbreaks. Although shifts in the distribution and boundaries of the major malaria vectors (Anopheles gambiae s.s.

Controlling malaria using livestock-based interventions: a one health approach. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Where malaria is transmitted by zoophilic vectors, two types of malaria control strategies have been proposed based on animals: using livestock to divert vector biting from people (zooprophylaxis) or as baits to attract vectors to insecticide sources ...

Susceptibility Status of Malaria Vectors to Insecticides Commonly used for Malaria Control in Tanzania. [PDF]
, 2012 The aim of the study was to monitor the insecticide susceptibility status of malaria vectors in 12 sentinel districts of Tanzania. WHO standard methods were used to detect knock-down and mortality in the wild female Anopheles mosquitoes collected in ...

Delayed mortality effects cut the malaria transmission potential of insecticide resistant mosquitoes [PDF]
, 2016 Malaria transmission has been substantially reduced across Africa through the distribution of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs). However, the emergence of insecticide resistance within mosquito vectors risks jeopardizing the future efficacy of this ...
