Abstract Anopheles gambiae Giles ss (Diptera: Culicidae) is known to feed on plant sugars,
but this is the first experimental study to consider whether it discriminates between plant …

preference on common plant species growing in a malaria holoendemic area in western …

It is widely believed that the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae Giles (Diptera: Culicidae)

Little is known about the sugar‐feeding behaviour of equatorial Africa's principal vector of
malaria, Anopheles gambiae Giles (Diptera: Culicidae). It is suspected to feed on plant …

Although females of most mosquito species are known to use sugar as a necessary source

The relative efficacy of a mechanical (Prokopack) collection method vs. manual aspiration in
the collection of resting mosquitoes was evaluated in northern Tanzania before and after an …

Blood-feeding behavior and survivorship of individual Anopheles gambiae Giles females
were observed daily in cohorts with either access to sugar (n= 76) or without sugar (n= 80) …
