This study evaluates the efficacy of SumiOne™ spatial emanators against Anopheles funestus in experimental huts in Kenya, showing significant reductions in mosquito density and blood feeding.

This study compares insecticide susceptibility of Kisumu mosquito colonies across 16 facilities, finding significant variability in susceptibility to different insecticides.

This paper introduces a non-contact bioassay to measure mosquito susceptibility to transfluthrin vapour, showing it can distinguish resistant and susceptible strains across labs.

The paper analyzes genomic diversity in Anopheles funestus across Africa, identifying genetic variation, adaptation signals, and conservation of a gene drive target.

This study examines how mould growth and outdoor exposure affect the efficacy of attractive targeted sugar baits (ATSBs) against Anopheles arabiensis, finding a non-significant reduction in feeding rates but significant decline in mortality on mouldy ATSBs.

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

The paper discovers knock-down resistance (kdr) mutations in Anopheles funestus, a major malaria vector, showing resistance to DDT but not deltamethrin.

The paper develops a colorimetric LAMP assay for rapid, cost-effective detection of Anopheles stephensi, showing high sensitivity and specificity without requiring DNA extraction or specialized equipment.

The paper identifies distinct microbiota in permethrin-resistant Anopheles gambiae s.s. mosquitoes from Kenya, linking specific bacterial taxa to insecticide resistance.
