A microsporidian impairs Plasmodium falciparum transmission in Anopheles arabiensis mosquitoes

Nature Communications, 2020
A possible malaria control approach involves the dissemination in mosquitoes of inherited symbiotic microbes to block Plasmodium transmission. However, in the Anopheles gambiae complex, the primary African vectors of malaria, there are limited reports of

Fighting Mosquitoes with Mosquitoes

Molecular Medicine Communications, 2022
A first-of-its-kind open-air study of genetically engineered mosquitoes has been conducted by scientists in the US. The biotechnology company Oxitec, spearheading these experiments, claims to have obtained positive results. However, much more elaborate and intricate studies are needed to establish whether these mosquitoes can suppress a wild population

Effects of the Environmental Temperature on Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus Mosquitoes: A Review

Insects, 2018
The temperature of the environment is one of the most important abiotic factors affecting the life of insects. As poikilotherms, their body temperature is not constant, and they rely on various strategies to minimize the risk of thermal stress. They have

AN ALASKAN MOSQUITO [PDF]

The Canadian Entomologist, 1906
Among some mosquitoes lately sent from Alaska is a species which, coming from the far north (65° N.), has the unique position of standing near three mosquitoes found in much warmer climates, i.e., Theobaldia annulata, Sharnk, found in Europe, Mexico and California, an Italian species of which Falbici says, “Fin ora fu trovata solamenta a Macareseed a ...

Composition of Human Skin Microbiota Affects Attractiveness to Malaria Mosquitoes [PDF]

, 2011
The African malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto continues to play an important role in malaria transmission, which is aggravated by its high degree of anthropophily, making it among the foremost vectors of this disease.
