The paper reanalyzes molecular data suggesting that Aedes nr. albopictus is conspecific with Aedes pseudalbopictus, challenging the classification of a putative cryptic species.

The paper identifies five kdr mutations in Indian Ae. aegypti populations and finds no recombination among haplotypes with V1016G, F1534C, and F1534L alleles.

This study shows that host PMCA4b variations affect intraerythrocytic calcium and ROS levels, reducing artemisinin sensitivity in malaria parasites.

This study identifies circadian-regulated perireceptor events that influence olfactory sensitivity in diurnal and nocturnal mosquitoes through RNA-sequencing and functional assays.

The paper develops species-specific PCR and Real-Time PCR assays for the identification of Anopheles stephensi, enabling early detection and surveillance of this malaria vector.

The paper evaluates AsteObp1 intron-1 as a marker for identifying biological forms and sibling species in Anopheles stephensi but finds it unsuitable due to high polymorphism and lack of association with morphological forms.

The paper reports the first identification of the classical kdr mutation L1014F in human head lice from the Indian subcontinent.

The paper re-evaluates the classification of Anopheles fluviatilis complex members, finding fixed ITS2-rDNA differences between species S and T and refuting claims of heterozygosity due to primer mispriming.

This study identifies intragenomic sequence variation in the ITS2 region of Anopheles stephensi rDNA, suggesting caution in using ITS2 for species delimitation due to potential heterogeneity.

The paper identifies a new kdr mutation, F1534L, in Ae. aegypti from Bengaluru, India, co-occurring with other kdr mutations and associated with permethrin resistance.
