Spatial and temporal characteristics of laboratory-induced Anopheles coluzzii swarms: shape, structure and flight kinematics

This study characterizes the spatial and temporal flight kinematics of Anopheles coluzzii swarms, showing stereotypic shape and density patterns and modeling swarm structure based on visual perception.

A metagenomics-based survey of the virus diversity in mosquito vectors allows the first detection of Sindbis virus in Burkina Faso

The paper uses metagenomics to survey mosquito vectors in Burkina Faso, detecting Sindbis virus for the first time in the region and identifying a new potential vector species.

The paradox of plant preference: the malaria vectors Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles coluzzii select suboptimal food sources for their survival and reproduction

This study shows that malaria mosquitoes prefer plants that are less nutritious and harmful to their survival and reproduction.

Physiological and behavioural resistance of malaria vectors in rural West-Africa : a data mining study to address their fine-scale spatiotemporal heterogeneity, drivers, and predictability

This study models insecticide resistance and behavioural traits of malaria mosquitoes using environmental and field data to assess their spatial and temporal patterns and drivers.

Assessment of Culicidae collection methods for xenomonitoring lymphatic filariasis in malaria co-infection context in Burkina Faso

This study evaluates four mosquito collection methods for xenomonitoring lymphatic filariasis and malaria in Burkina Faso, finding Human Landing Catches (HLC) most effective for collecting mosquitoes and Window Exit-Trap and Pyrethrum Spray Catches (PSC) effective for sampling infected vectors.

A six-months, long acting, one-shot injectable formulation of Ivermectin as a complementary malaria vector control tool to target zoophagic Anopheles : laboratory and model-based proofs of concept.

This paper demonstrates that a long-acting injectable ivermectin formulation reduces Anopheles mosquito populations, potentially decreasing malaria transmission.

Lack of robust evidence for a Wolbachia infection in Anopheles gambiae from Burkina Faso

This study re-evaluates Wolbachia infection in Anopheles gambiae from Burkina Faso and finds low prevalence, contradicting earlier reports.

Cuticular hydrocarbons are associated with mating success and insecticide resistance in malaria vectors

This study shows that cuticular hydrocarbons in Anopheles coluzzii males are linked to mating success and insecticide resistance.

Data-driven and interpretable machine-learning modeling to explore the fine-scale environmental determinants of malaria vectors biting rates in rural Burkina Faso

This study uses interpretable machine learning to identify environmental factors influencing malaria vector biting rates in rural Burkina Faso.

Antimalarials in mosquitoes overcome Anopheles and Plasmodium resistance to malaria control strategies

This paper demonstrates that antimalarial drugs can block malaria transmission by targeting mosquitoes, remaining effective against resistant strains of both mosquitoes and parasites.

A mating-induced reproductive gene promotes Anopheles tolerance to Plasmodium falciparum infection

The paper shows that mating-induced gene MISO in Anopheles mosquitoes protects females from fecundity costs of Plasmodium falciparum infection without affecting parasite development.

No evidence for long-range male sex pheromones in two malaria mosquitoes

The paper investigates the presence of long-range male sex pheromones in malaria mosquitoes and finds no evidence supporting their existence.

High Plasmodium infection intensity in naturally infected malaria vectors in Africa

The paper estimates parasite exposure in naturally infected malaria vectors in Burkina Faso and finds it is higher than previous estimates, with a strong link between mosquito infection and human parasite prevalence.

Anopheles bionomics, insecticide resistance mechanisms and malaria transmission in the Korhogo area, northern Cote d Ivoire: a pre-intervention study

The paper describes malaria transmission patterns, insecticide resistance, and vector behavior in Korhogo, Cote d'Ivoire, providing baseline data for a control trial.

Analysis-ready datasets for insecticide resistance phenotype and genotype frequency in African malaria vectors

The paper provides analysis-ready, geospatial datasets on insecticide resistance in African malaria vectors to quantify resistance trends and assess their impact on malaria transmission.

Infection of highly insecticide-resistant malaria vector Anopheles coluzzii with an environmentally friendly entomopathogenic bacteria Chromobacterium violaceum reduces its survival, blood feeding propensity and fecundity
