Mosquitoes possess an innate immune system that is capable of limiting infection by a variety of pathogens, including the Plasmodium spp. parasites responsible for human malaria.
Spore shelf-life under refrigeration surpassed the standard two year shelf-life expected of a mosquito control product.
To evaluate the larvicide and biting deterrency activity of bud of Polianthes tuberosa (P. tuberosa) against Culex quinquefasciatus (Cx. quinquefasciatus) and Anopheles stephensi (An. stephensi).
To evaluate the larvicidal activities of different combinations of synthetic nicotinoid insecticide, imidacloprid with an insecticidal plant, Ocimum basilicum (O. basilicum) against malaria vector, Anopheles stephensi, with reference to the impact of most potent combination on some non-targets, Anisops bouvieri (A. bouvieri) and cyclop.
The midgut microbiota associated with Anopheles stephensi and Anopheles maculipennis (Diptera: Culicidae) was investigated for development of a paratransgenesis-based approach to control malaria transmission in Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR).
This study demonstrates that the chromosomal position of microsatellites may affect estimates of population genetic parameters and highlights the importance of developing physical maps for nonmodel organisms.
The biochemical characterization of Anopheles stephensi ME is of critical relevance given its important role in bioenergetics, suggesting that it is a suitable target for insecticide development.
In this study, we analyzed a small scale transcriptome of salivary glands in sugar fed female mosquitoes.
