New genetic control methods for mosquitoes may reduce vector species without direct
effects on other species or the physical environment common with insecticides or drainage …

The closely related and morphologically indistinguishable mosquito species in the
Afrotropical Anopheles gambiae complex differ dramatically in their contribution to malaria …

Background The persistence of malaria in large parts of sub-Saharan Africa has motivated
the development of novel tools to complement existing control programmes, including gene …

Background Anthropogenic habitat disturbance is a prime cause in the current trend of the
Earth's reduction in biodiversity. Here we show that the human footprint on the Central …

Malaria control programs are being jeopardized by the spread of insecticide resistance in
mosquito vector populations. The situation in Burkina Faso is emblematic with Anopheles …

Background In the context of widespread mosquito resistance to currently available
pesticides, novel, precise genetic vector control methods aimed at population suppression …

Vector control is the mainstay of malaria control programmes. Successful vector control
profoundly relies on accurate information on the target mosquito populations in order to …

Understanding how divergent selection generates adaptive phenotypic and population
diversification provides a mechanistic explanation of speciation in recently separated …

Symbiotic bacteria can have important implications in the development and competence of
disease vectors. In Anopheles mosquitoes, the composition of the midgut microbiota is …

Mosquito-borne diseases, including malaria are undergoing a global resurgence [1-7]. The
factors responsible for the re-emergence are very complex, and management requires …
