DOI: 10.1002/jemt.24019
Abstract: The risk of malaria recurrence increases due to the main vector, Anopheles pharoensis. The physiological age of the mosquito population is needed to expect malaria vector dynamics. The number of completed gonotrophic cycles is of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ps.5676
Abstract: BACKGROUND Exposure to inorganic fertilizer is common for the major malaria vector Anopheles arabiensis, which is closely associated with agricultural activities. The aim of this study was to understand if insecticide susceptible and resistant individuals… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41587-020-0508-1
Abstract: Only female insects transmit diseases such as malaria, dengue and Zika; therefore, control methods that bias the sex ratio of insect offspring have long been sought. Genetic elements such as sex-chromosome drives can distort sex… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-07462-3
Abstract: Anopheles stephensi is the most menacing malaria vector to watch for in newly urbanising parts of the world. Its fitness is reported to be a direct consequence of the vector adapting to laying eggs in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12936-017-1734-y
Abstract: BackgroundMany of the mosquito species responsible for malaria transmission belong to a sibling complex; a taxonomic group of morphologically identical, closely related species. Sibling species often differ in several important factors that have the potential… read more here.
