Insecticide resistance and its intensity in urban Anopheles arabiensis in Kisumu City, Western Kenya: Implications for malaria control in urban areas

M. G. Machani, I. Nzioki, S. Onyango, B. Onyango, J. Githure, H. Atieli, C. Wang, M.-C. Lee, A. Githeko, Y. Afrane, E. Ochomo, G. Yan

This study assesses insecticide resistance in urban Anopheles arabiensis in Kisumu City, Kenya, finding high resistance to pyrethroids and elevated detoxification enzyme levels.

Immunity to infections in arboviral vectors by integrated viral sequences: an evolutionary perspective

C. Crava, F. S. Varghese, E. Pischedda, R. Halbach, U. Palatini, M. Marconcini, A. Mattia, S. N. Redmond, Y. Afrane, D. Ayala, C. Paupy, R. Carballar-Lejarazu, P. Miesen, R. P. van Rij, M. Bonizzoni

The paper shows that nonretroviral endogenous viral elements (nrEVEs) in Aedes aegypti confer antiviral immunity by producing piRNAs, supporting their role as heritable immunity effectors.

Resting behaviour of malaria vectors in a highland and a lowland site of western Kenya: Implication on malaria vector control measures

M. G. Machani, E. OCHOMO, F. Amimo, J. Kosgei, S. Munga, G. Zhou, A. Githeko, G. Yan, Y. Afrane

This study examines resting behavior, host preference, and Plasmodium falciparum infection in malaria vectors in western Kenya, finding high indoor resting rates and insecticide resistance.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of the human blood index of the major African malaria vectors

J. Orsborne, L. Furuya-Kanamori, C. Jeffries, M. Kristan, A. Mohammed, Y. Afrane, K. O'Reilly, E. Massad, C. Drakeley, T. Walker, L. Yakob

This study systematically reviews and meta-analyzes the human blood index (HBI) of major African malaria vectors, finding higher HBI in Anopheles gambiae and An. funestus compared to An. arabiensis, with location being a stronger predictor than species.

Assessing the blood-host plasticity and dispersal rate of the malaria vector Anopheles coluzzii

J. Orsborne, L. Furuya-Kanamori, C. Jeffries, M. Kristan, A. Mohammed, Y. Afrane, K. O'Reilly, E. Massad, C. Drakeley, T. Walker, L. Yakob

The paper introduces a method to assess blood-host plasticity and dispersal rate of Anopheles coluzzii using blood-meal source detection and molecular analysis.
