Anopheles gambiae densovirus (AgDNV) has negligible effects on adult survival and transcriptome of its mosquito host [PDF]

PeerJ, 2014
Mosquito densoviruses (DNVs) are candidate agents for paratransgenic control of malaria and other vector-borne diseases. Unlike other mosquito DNVs, the Anopheles gambiae DNV (AgDNV) is non-pathogenic to larval mosquitoes.

The internal transcribed spacer 1 sequence polymorphism brings updates to tsetse species distribution in the northern Cameroon: Importance in planning efficient vector control

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 2, Page 216-226, June 2024.
Many morphologically similar tsetse species are sympatric in many areas in Africa, particularly in northern Cameroon. The length polymorphism of ITS1 fragments assessed with simple PCR and migration of amplicon on a gel helped identifying these species accurately. Sympatric species were identified in areas where only one species was originally reported,

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.

Microbiota-mediated blocking of plasmodium falciparum sporozoites in Anopheles: a systematic review

Frontiers in Insect Science
IntroductionThe development of Plasmodium falciparum sporozoites in the mosquito, Anopheles, is essential for malaria transmission. Despite the unsurprising fact that the mosquito microbiota has become a major factor in the modulation of the competence ...

Factors influencing infection and transmission of Anopheles gambiae densovirus (AgDNV) in mosquitoes [PDF]

PeerJ, 2016
Anopheles gambiae densovirus (AgDNV) is a potential microbial agent for paratransgenesis and gene transduction in An. gambiae, the major vector of human malaria in sub-Saharan Africa. Understanding the interaction between AgDNV and An.
