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

Abstract:

To meet the rising food demands of communities in Accra,Ghana, urban agriculture has been popularized as a way to increase food security and improve nutrition (Donovan et al., 2012). Urban agriculture is defined as "the cultivation of crops at both the subsistence and commercial levels including the keeping of livestock in open spaces in urban areas (Adjaye, n.d.). In Accra, urban agriculture covers 1,091 hectares, employs over one thousand people, and supplies residents with 90% of its vegetables ("Accra Metropolitan", n.d.). Further, 60% of households in Accra participate in backyard farming

Abstract:

As doenças transmitidas por vetores representam uma emergência para a saúde pública global, representando mais de 17% das doenças infeciosas, causando mais de 700 mil mortes por ano. Nos últimos anos, a incidência de casos de malária foi reduzida em 41,0% e a taxa de mortalidade diminuiu em 62,0%. Este avanço foi alcançado através dos maiores esforços dos governos na implementação de programas contra o vetor. Em contraste, o número de casos de infeção por vírus da Dengue, Zika, Chikungunya e Febre Amarela aumentou dramaticamente e em co-circulação em algumas regiões. O aumento das viagens e do

Abstract:

Anopheles melas is a brackish water mosquito found along the coast of West-Africa where it can be the dominant malaria vector locally. In order to facilitate genetic studies of this species and to examine the usefulness of microsatellite markers when used in a sibling species, 45 microsatellite loci originally developed for Anopheles gambiae were sequenced in An. melas. These loci were evaluated on their suitability as polymorphic markers based on repeat structure, length, and polymorphism in wild An. melas populations. Of the 45 loci, 18 were not considered promising markers in An. melas. A t

Abstract:

Control of the major African malaria vectors of the Anopheles gambiae complex continues to rely heavily on the application of insecticides either by indoor residual house spraying (IRS) or bednet impregnation (ITNs). However, growing concerns about their negative impact on human health, their potential impact on the environment, and the ever-increasing spread of insecticide resistance across sub- Saharan Africa has diverted attention to alternative strategies that are not based on chemicals. Therefore, alternatives such as vector control with biological agents may be effective. Levels o

Differences were found in the life table parameters when these mosquitoes were reared under conditions of seasonal temperature and relative
