Diversity in breeding sites and distribution of Anopheles mosquitoes in selected urban areas of southern Ghana
Background Anopheles vectors of malaria are supposedly less common in urban areas as a
result of pollution, but there is increasing evidence of their adaptation to organically polluted …

Mutagenesis of the orco odorant receptor co-receptor impairs olfactory function in the malaria vector Anopheles coluzzii
Mosquitoes rely heavily on their olfactory systems for host seeking, selection of oviposition
sites, and avoiding predators and other environmental dangers. Of these behaviors, the …

Root exudate chemical cues of an invasive plant modulate oviposition behavior and survivorship of a malaria mosquito vector
Gravid female Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes identify suitable oviposition sites through a
repertoire of cues, but the influence of allelochemicals, especially root phytochemicals in …

An agent-based model of the population dynamics of Anopheles gambiae
Abstract Background Agent-based models (ABMs) have been used to model the behaviour
of individual mosquitoes and other aspects of malaria. In this paper, a conceptual …
