Perspectives of people in Mali toward genetically-modified mosquitoes for malaria control [PDF]

, 2010
Background: Genetically-modified (GM) mosquitoes have been proposed as part of an integrated vector control strategy for malaria control. Public acceptance is essential prior to field trials, particularly since mosquitoes are a vector of human disease

Advantages and Limitations of Commercially Available Electrocuting Grids for Studying Mosquito Behaviour. [PDF]

, 2013
Mosquito feeding behaviour plays a major role in determining malaria transmission intensity and the impact of specific prevention measures. Human Landing Catch (HLC) is currently the only method that can directly and consistently measure the biting rates

Evaluation of textile substrates for dispensing synthetic attractants for malaria mosquitoes [PDF]

, 2014
Background: The full-scale impact of odour-baited technology on the surveillance, sampling and control of vectors of infectious diseases is partly limited by the lack of methods for the efficient and sustainable dispensing of attractants.

Mosquito Innate Immunity

Insects, 2018
Mosquitoes live under the endless threat of infections from different kinds of pathogens such as bacteria, parasites, and viruses. The mosquito defends itself by employing both physical and physiological barriers that resist the entry of the pathogen and

New Distribution Records for Mosquitoes in Michigan (Diptera: Culicidae) [PDF]

, 2017
(excerpt) Since the late 1940\u27s very little information has appeared in the literature dealing with the geographical distribution of mosquitoes in Michigan. The earliest attempt at establish- ing a comprehensive list of species was made by Irwin (1941)

Mitochondrial NAD⁺-dependent malic enzyme from Anopheles stephensi: a possible novel target for malaria mosquito control

Malaria Journal, 2011
Background Anopheles stephensi mitochondrial malic enzyme (ME) emerged as having a relevant role in the provision of pyruvate for the Krebs' cycle because inhibition of this enzyme results in the complete abrogation of oxygen uptake by mitochondria ...

Automating the Surveillance of Mosquito Vectors from Trapped Specimens Using Computer Vision Techniques

, 2020
Among all animals, mosquitoes are responsible for the most deaths worldwide. Interestingly, not all types of mosquitoes spread diseases, but rather, a select few alone are competent enough to do so. In the case of any disease outbreak, an important first

The Role of Temperature in Shaping Mosquito-Borne Viruses Transmission

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Mosquito-borne diseases having the greatest impact on human health are typically prevalent in the tropical belt of the world. However, these diseases are conquering temperate regions, raising the question of the role of temperature on their dynamics and ...
