From January 19 to February 25, 1997 an entomological survey of the seringais and larger towns along the Acre and Purus rivers was made as part of the project “Revisitando a Amazônia de Carlos Chagas; da Borracha a Bi...

Abstract Background Xenomonitoring is an approach of epidemiological infection risk assessment addressing vector-transmitted infections like malaria in hematophagous arthropods. Standardization and automation can facilit...

Abstract Background Despite ongoing reports of malaria from health facilities in central Ethiopia, entomological evidence on local vectors remains scarce. This study investigated Anopheles species composition, host prefe...

Abstract Background Anopheles pseudopunctipennis is the primary malaria vector in Mexico and is widely distributed nationwide. Understanding its developmental biology is crucial for interrupting malaria transmission. Met...

Abstract Background Olfactory detection of host odors is fundamental to mosquito host-seeking behavior. Although the olfactory pathways of model species such as Anopheles gambiae have been well characterized, the molecul...

Abstract Background Malaria, whose parasites are transmitted by Anopheles mosquitoes, remains a major public health burden in Madagascar despite the control measures led by the National Malaria Control Program. Understan...

Abstract Background Pyrethroid resistance continues to undermine malaria vector control across Africa, particularly in agricultural hotspots where insecticide pressure is high. However, the molecular mechanisms enabling ...

Abstract In response to the emerging threat of insecticide resistance in malaria vectors, insecticides are being repurposed for vector control or developed de novo. The longevity of disease control programs will require ...

Abstract Salivary gland chromosome slides of Anopheles albitarsis from Brasil, Colombia and Venezuela indicate that at least three chromosomally differentiated populations of this species exist in this area. The B1 popul...

Of eleven proteins analyzed in four Amazonian populations, the esterases showed the greatest variation, with five activity zones. EST1, EST2 and EST5 showed variation in each of the populations studied. EST1 and EST2 are...

Abstract Background Malaria, caused by parasites of the Plasmodium genus and transmitted by Anopheles mosquitoes, remains a global public health issue, with a high incidence in tropical and subtropical regions. Although ...

Foram coletados adultos e imaturos de Culicidae (Diptera: Culicomorpha) em Querari, Município de São Gabriel da Cachoeira, Estado do Amazonas. Brasil. Os adultos foram capturados utilizando armadilhas (CDC e Malaise) e...

Four mosquito species—Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus) galvaoi, An. (Anopheles) mediopunctatus, Culex (Culex) lahillei, and Uranotaenia (Uranotaenia) geométrica—were recorded for the first time in northwestern Argentina. I...

The potential risk areas for emerging or reemerging diseases are determined by the presence, abundance, and distribution of mosquitoes. Here new records and geographical distribution extension of mosquito species in phyt...

The use of pesticides in agriculture and other areas of human activity is interrelated with a major global issue of environment protection. This article analyzes domestic and international literature over a 20-year perio...
