Abstract:
Understanding the distribution of Anopheles species is essential for planning and implementing malaria control programmes. This study assessed the composition and distribution of cryptic species of the main malaria vector, the Anopheles gambiae complex, in different districts of Kinshasa. Anopheles were sampled using CDC light traps in the four Kinshasa districts between July 2021 and June 2022, and then morphologically identified. Equal proportions of Anopheles gambiae s.l. per site were subjected to polymerase chain reaction to identify the cryptic species of the Anopheles gambiae complex. A

Two new species within the Anopheles gambiae complex are here described and named. Based on molecular and bionomical evidence, the An. gambiae molecular "M form" is named Anopheles coluzzii Coetzee & Wilkerson sp. n., while the "S form" retains the nominotypical name Anopheles gambiae Giles. Anopheles quadriannulatus is retained for the southern African populations of this species, while the Ethiopian species is named Anopheles amharicus Hunt, Wilkerson & Coetzee sp. n., based on chromosomal, cross-mating and molecular evidence.

Abstract:
The ability of Anopheles gambiae complex mosquitoes to transmit Plasmodium infection is known to be variable within sibling species of the complex with strains that cannot transmit the parasite. High sporozoite infection rate recorded showed that A. gambiae mosquitoes are potent malaria vectors in southwestern Nigeria. The aim of this study was to identify the infective and refractory strains of A. gambiae mosquitoes and to determine the sporozoite infection rate in this area. The infective strains were A. gambiae (sensu stricto) and A. arabiensis, while the refractory strains were A. gambiae

Abstract Anopheles mosquitoes are the main vectors of malaria. There is little information on the current entomological aspects of Anopheles mosquitoes in Amhara region of northwestern Ethiopia. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the prevailing species composition, parous rate, and infection rate of Anopheles mosquitoes in the Bahir Dar city administration. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from January through July 2020. For this, six Centers for Disease Control and Prevention light traps (three traps indoor and three traps outdoor) were used to collect adult f

Abstract:
Mosquito borne diseases continue to be a big threat to human health worldwide. Despite using various vector control methods, we lose a great number of lives to this malicious disease in tropical and subtropical countries each year. Not surprisingly, mosquito is considered as the deadliest animal on the earth, because mortality rates from mosquito-vectored infections only lag behind other major diseases such as HIV and tuberculosis. Current approaches of vector control are mostly limited to using insecticidal bed nets, thus novel techniques are required to prevent a staggering loss to human hea

Abstract:
The work included in this thesis arose from a long-standing interest in the possible use of genetic control for one of the most important malaria vectors in Africa, Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto. It was hoped that the genes involved in animal biting in the sibling species Anopheles quadriannulatus could be exploited by crossing with An. gambiae s. s. and using the fertile female hybrids for successive backcrosses to An. gambiae s.s. It was envisaged that this method could be used in an attempt to produce a mosquito stock that is harmless to humans because it is zoophilic but with the genetic

Abstract:
The Anopheles gambiae complex is comprised of the most important vectors of malaria in Sub-Saharan Africa. Most current control methods involve the use of chemicals that help to limit potential contact with these mosquitoes. However, these control methods still have risks that include insect resistance, environmental toxicity, human health, as well as animal health. In order to develop new strategies that either produce novel targeted insecticides or transgenic mosquitoes that can replace current mosquito populations, it is important to acquire as much biological information about the vecto

Abstract:
Chemical control of mosquito vectors, via indoor residual spraying or insecticide treated bed nets, is an integral component of malaria control strategies. Limited availability of insecticides licensed for public health and the rapid development of resistance in mosquito populations to these insecticides, in particular to some pyrethroids, may compromise vector control efforts. With the exception of mutations in the insecticide target sites, relatively little is known about the genetics of pyrethroid resistance in malaria vectors. In some populations candidate effector genes, e.g. cyp6p3 or cy
