Intraspecific Transcriptome Variation and Sex-Biased Expression in Anopheles arabiensis
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Genome Biology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1093/gbe/evab199
Abstract: Abstract The magnitude and functional patterns of intraspecific transcriptional variation in the anophelines, including those of sex-biased genes underlying sex-specific traits relevant for malaria transmission, remain understudied. As a result, how changes in expression levels… read more here.

DOI: 10.1155/2022/6098536
Abstract: Malaria parasites are only transmitted by female mosquitoes of the genus Anopheles; hence, the disease's distribution is linked to that of the vector mosquitoes. As such, the goal of this study was to find out… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12936-017-1994-6
Abstract: BackgroundAn increasing number of countries in sub-Saharan Africa are moving towards malaria-elimination, mostly thanks to successful vector control campaigns. However, elimination has proven challenging, resulting in the persistence of malaria transmission. It is now accepted… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12936-017-2115-2
Abstract: BackgroundIndoor residual spraying (IRS) and long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) remain the cornerstones of malaria vector control. However, the development of insecticide resistance and its implications for operational failure of preventative strategies are of concern. The… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12936-018-2350-1
Abstract: BackgroundIt has been documented that unplanned urbanization leads to the exposure of members of the Anopheles vectors to a range of water pollution in urban settings. Many surveys from African and Asian countries reported the… read more here.
