This study characterizes malaria vector dynamics in Kinshasa Province over four years, identifying An. gambiae s.l. as the dominant species and highlighting emerging roles for An. paludis in rural areas, alongside widespread insecticide resistance.

The paper estimates bionomic parameters of Anopheles mosquitoes using a hierarchical Bayesian model and quantifies vectorial capacity reduction from insecticide-treated nets.

This study evaluates Anopheles stephensi egg viability and desiccation resistance over time, finding that eggs can remain viable under specific conditions but not under standard drying methods.

The paper estimates malaria transmission risk in sub-Saharan Africa over 74 kya and shows humans avoided malaria hotspots, shaping demography and population structure.

The paper investigates Anopheles stephensi larval habitat productivity in Ethiopia, finding that superproductive sites dominate larval populations during dry seasons, suggesting targeted control could reduce their numbers.

The paper investigates insecticide resistance and population structure in Anopheles gambiae from southern DRC, finding high resistance and genetic differentiation between populations.

This paper uses transcriptomic analysis to identify novel resistance mechanisms in Anopheles arabiensis mosquitoes resistant to organophosphates and pyrethroids in Ethiopia.

The paper assesses insecticide resistance in Anopheles coluzzii, finding over-expression of CYP6P4, CYP6P3, and CYP6Z1 linked to reduced LLIN efficacy and pyrethroid resistance.

The paper assesses insecticide resistance in Anopheles gambiae s.l. in Faranah, Guinea, identifying resistance to permethrin and deltamethrin and mutations linked to resistance mechanisms.
