Energetic shifts reflect survival likelihood in Anopheles gambiae

This study examines how energy shifts in Anopheles gambiae relate to survival likelihood under stressors like blood meals and parasitism.

Dietary shifts in infected mosquitoes suggest a form of self-medication despite benefits in uninfected individuals

The paper shows infected mosquitoes adjust their diet to reduce parasite load and extend lifespan, suggesting self-medication despite benefits in uninfected individuals.

The role of prooxidants and antioxidants in shaping life-history and parasite tolerance in Anopheles mosquitoes

This study examines how prooxidant and antioxidant intake affects Anopheles gambiae longevity, fecundity, and parasite load when infected with Vavraia culicis, showing timing-dependent effects.

Sublethal insecticide exposure of larvae affects the blood-feeding behaviour of adult mosquitoes

This study shows that sublethal insecticide exposure during larval development affects adult mosquito blood-feeding behavior and egg-laying patterns, with implications for disease transmission.

Dexrazoxane as a viable microsporidia control agent in Anopheles gambiae

This study shows Dexrazoxane reduces microsporidia spore load in mosquitoes without affecting infection success, suggesting its potential as a tool for controlling microsporidia in malaria vectors.

Host-specific effects of a generalist parasite of mosquitoes

This study examines the effects of Vavraia culicis on life-history traits of Aedes aegypti and Anopheles gambiae, revealing differences in infection dynamics and sexual dimorphism.
