Costs of insensitive acetylcholinesterase insecticide resistance for the malaria vector <it>Anopheles gambiae </it>homozygous for the G119S mutation by Noel Valérie, Djogbénou Luc, Agnew Philip

“…<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The G119S mutation responsible for insensitive acetylcholinesterase resistance to organophosphate and carbamate insecticides has recently been reported from natural populations of <it>Anopheles gambiae </it>in West Africa. These reports suggest there are costs of resistance associated with this mutation for <it>An. gambiae</it>, especially for homozygous individuals, and these costs could be influential in determining the frequency of carbamate resistance in these populations.…”

Biochemical and structural analysis of a cytosolic sulfotransferase of the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae overexpressed in the reproductive tissues by Arianna Esposito Verza, Riccardo Miggiano, Fabrizio Lombardo, Carmine Fiorillo, Bruno Arcà, Beatrice Purghé, Erika Del Grosso, Ubaldina Galli, Menico Rizzi, Franca Rossi

“…The herein described research is the first example of a biochemical and structural study of a SULT of a mosquito species, in general, and of the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae in particular. We confirmed that the AGAP001425 transcript displays a peculiar expression pattern that is suggestive of a possible involvement in modulating the mosquito reproductive tissues physiology, a fact that could raise attention on the enzyme as a potential target for insect-containment strategies. …”

Deep learning and wing interferential patterns identify Anopheles species and discriminate amongst Gambiae complex species by Arnaud Cannet, Camille Simon-Chane, Mohammad Akhoundi, Aymeric Histace, Olivier Romain, Marc Souchaud, Pierre Jacob, Darian Sereno, Karine Mouline, Christian Barnabe, Frédéric Lardeux, Philippe Boussès, Denis Sereno

“…The accuracy of the process to discriminate cryptic or sibling species is also assessed on three species belonging to the Gambiae complex. Strikingly, An. gambiae, An. arabiensis and An. coluzzii, morphologically indistinguishable species belonging to the Gambiae complex, were distinguished with 100%, 100%, and 88% accuracy respectively. …”

Expression of antenatal symptoms of common mental disorders in The Gambia and the UK: a cross-sectional comparison study by Paul Ramchandani, Victoria Cornelius, Katie Rose M Sanfilippo, Bonnie McConnell, Buba Darboe, Hajara B Huma, Hassoum Ceesay, Ian Cross, Vivette Glover, Lauren Stewart, Rita T Amiel Castro

“…Comparisons between the UK and Gambian EPDS scores were made by investigating score distributions, proportion of women with high levels of symptoms, and descriptive item analysis.Setting This study took place in The Gambia, West Africa and London, UK.Participants 221 pregnant women from The Gambia completed both the SRQ-20 and the EPDS; 368 pregnant women from the UK completed the EPDS.Results Gambian participants’ EPDS and SRQ-20 scores were significantly moderately correlated (rs=0.6, p&lt;0.001), had different distributions, 54% overall agreement, and different proportions of women identified as having high levels of symptoms (SRQ-20=42% vs EPDS=5% using highest cut-off score). …”
