The paper identifies high-altitude windborne mosquito migration in the Sahel, showing its role in disease transmission and highlighting key pathogens transported by these mosquitoes.

The paper uses stable isotopes to estimate the contribution of aestivation to the persistence of Anopheles coluzzii mosquitoes during the Sahelian dry season, finding that aestivation contributes at least 20% of the adult population.

This paper introduces a novel marking method for mosquitoes using fluorescent dye and synthetic DNA tags, showing long-term retention and no impact on survival or reproduction.

This study shows that Anopheles gambiae s.l. mosquitoes survive, oviposit, and blood feed after high-altitude flight, supporting their viability as vectors despite harsh conditions.

This study induces long-lived aestivation-like states in laboratory Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes by manipulating environmental conditions to extend survival beyond typical lifespan.

The paper investigates windborne insect migration in the Sahel, finding large-scale movements across seasons, altitudes, and directions, with implications for ecosystem dynamics.
