Comparative Analysis of Heterochromatin in the Anopheles gambiae Complex
… diverse genomes. The genome of malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae was first sequenced in 2002 and since then has been updated to include additional scaffolds, their orientations and correction of mis-assemblies. Yet, the greatest challenge remains in assembling the heterochromatin regions, that …

The organization and evolution of heterochromatin in the Anopheles gambiae complex
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 …

Chromosome evolution and mechanisms of speciation in the Anopheles gambiae complex
… through the bites of infected females of a few Anopheles mosquito species. Understanding the chromosome evolution and mechanisms of speciation can shed light on developing novel ecological-friendly vector control techniques. Sibling species of the An. gambiae complex provide an excellent model …

Assessment of impacts of indoor residual house spraying (IRHS) on the diversity, abundance and distribution of human malaria vectots in Chongwe District, Zambia
… of human malaria in the district was not an Anopheles gambiae complex sibling species; and that the IRHS malaria vector control programme being implemented in the district had no effect on the diversity, abundance and distribution of human malaria vectors in the district. Indoor-resting …

Application of Chromosome Mapping to Understanding Evolutionary History of Anopheles Species
… children in south of Sub-Saharan Africa. The Anopheles gambiae complex consists of seven morphologically indistinguishable sibling species. However, their behavior, ecological adaptations, vectorial capacity, and geographical distribution differ. Studying the phylogenetic relationships among …

Blood host preferences and competitive inter-species dynamics within an African malaria vector species complex inferred from signs of animal activity around aquatic larval habitats distributed across a gradient of fully domesticated to fully pristine ecosystems in southern Tanzania
… interventions on the semi-zoophagic vector Anopheles arabiensis are limited, among other things, by insecticide resistance and their ability to acquire non-human bloodmeals. Across much of southern Tanzania, in areas where humans and cattle are readily available, it is the predominant member …
