A global map of dominant malaria vectors [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2012
Global maps, in particular those based on vector distributions, have long been used to help visualise the global extent of malaria. Few, however, have been created with the support of a comprehensive and extensive evidence-based approach.Here we describe the generation of a global map of the dominant vector species (DVS) of malaria that makes use of ...

Hydroxamic Acids as HDAC Inhibitor Drug Leads for Malaria

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Malaria is a global health threat, with an estimated 282 million cases and 610,000 malaria‐associated deaths reported in 2024. Most mortality is due to infection by Plasmodium falciparum parasites, with the highest burden occurring in Sub‐Saharan Africa.

FEEDING AND RESTING PATTERN OF MALARIA VECTORS IN THREE COMMUNITIES FROM SOUTHEAST NIGERIA

The Bioscientist
Accurate knowledge of the feeding and resting time of malaria vectors is very crucial for malaria management, hence a 12-month longitudinal study was done to tackle the challenge of transmission of mosquito-borne diseases.

Plasmepsins as Antimalarial Drug Targets—Then, Now, and the Future

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Malaria is a devastating disease caused by Plasmodium parasites. Plasmodium parasites express ten cathepsin D‐like aspartyl proteases, called plasmepsins (PMs). These PMs have diverse roles fulfill diverse functions throughout the parasite's lifecycle, though several exhibit functional redundancies. Among them, PMV, PMIV, and PMX are essential

World malaria report 2025: Growing biological threats, shrinking resources

Decoding Infection and Transmission
The World Malaria Report 2025 documents operational progress while exposing systemic vulnerabilities that could reverse two decades of gains. Several biological threats are converging in Sub-Saharan Africa: artemisinin partial resistance, parasites ...

Repurposing antimicrobial agents for neuroprotection: Mechanisms, clinical potential, and challenges

Neuroprotection, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial agents exert neuroprotective effects through modulation of interconnected pathways. Tetracyclines, macrolides, antimalarial agents, sulfones, and antiparasitic agents suppress neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis while preserving mitochondrial function and neurotransmission.

Near-infrared spectroscopy as a complementary age grading and species identification tool for African malaria vectors. [PDF]

, 2010
: Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) was recently applied to age-grade and differentiate laboratory reared Anopheles gambiae sensu strico and Anopheles arabiensis sibling species of Anopheles gambiae sensu lato complex. In this study, we report further on

A review on malaria eradication: what hope for Nigeria?

Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2016
Malaria and its transmitting vectors are household names. Malaria which helped Africa from the venomous fangs of colonialism has turned to be the bane of development in tropical countries including Nigeria.

Comparative spatial–temporal analysis and predictive modeling of climate change-induced malaria vectors’ invasion in new hotspots in Kenya

SN Applied Sciences, 2021
Climate change/variability is a major driving factor among others that contribute to the spread of suitable malaria vectors’ geographical extent. The current study employed comparative spatial–temporal analysis using bioclimatic envelope modeling to ...
