Evaluation of mosquito electrocuting traps as a safe alternative to the human landing catch for measuring human exposure to malaria vectors in Burkina Faso by Antoine Sanou, W. Moussa Guelbéogo, Luca Nelli, K. Hyacinth Toé, Soumanaba Zongo, Pierre Ouédraogo, Fatoumata Cissé, Nosrat Mirzai, Jason Matthiopoulos, N’falé Sagnon, Heather M. Ferguson

“…Results In total, 41,800 mosquitoes were collected over 324 sampling nights, with the major malaria vector being Anopheles gambiae sensu lato (s.l.) complex. Overall the MET caught fewer An. gambiae s.l. than the HLC (mean predicted number of 0.78 versus 1.82 indoors, and 1.05 versus 2.04 outdoors). …”

Insecticide resistance in disease vectors from Mayotte: an opportunity for integrated vector management by Nicolas Pocquet, Frédéric Darriet, Betty Zumbo, Pascal Milesi, Julien Thiria, Vincent Bernard, Céline Toty, Pierrick Labbé, Fabrice Chandre

“…In this study, we assessed the resistance levels of four major vector species (Anopheles gambiae, Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus, Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus) to two types of insecticides: i) the locally currently-used insecticides (organophosphates, pyrethroids) and ii) alternative molecules that are promising for vector control and come from different insecticide families (bacterial toxins or insect growth regulators). …”

Combining next-generation indoor residual spraying and drug-based malaria control strategies: observational evidence of a combined effect in Mali by Joseph Wagman, Idrissa Cissé, Diakalkia Kone, Seydou Fomba, Erin Eckert, Jules Mihigo, Elie Bankineza, Mamadou Bah, Diadier Diallo, Christelle Gogue, Kenzie Tynuv, Andrew Saibu, Jason H. Richardson, Christen Fornadel, Laurence Slutsker, Molly Robertson

“…The region reports high access to and use of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs), though the principal vector, Anopheles gambiae, is resistant to pyrethroids. From 2011 until 2016, several high-burden districts of Ségou also received indoor residual spraying (IRS), though in 2014 concerns about pyrethroid resistance prompted a shift in IRS products to a micro-encapsulated formulation of the organophosphate insecticide pirimiphos-methyl. …”

Sullivan, Sean T. Prigge, Photini Sinnis, Theresa A. Shapiro

“…Relative to wild type, Y268S parasites evidence multiple defects, most marked in their development in mosquitoes, whether from Southeast Asia (Anopheles stephensi) or Africa (An. gambiae). Growth of asexual Y268S P. falciparum in human red cells is impaired, but parasite loss in the mosquito is progressive, from reduced gametocyte exflagellation, to smaller number and size of oocysts, and finally to absence of sporozoites. …”
