No Wolbachia protection against Plasmodium falciparum infection in the major malaria mosquito Anopheles moucheti

T. Mouillaud, A. Berger, M. Buysse, N. Rahola, J. Daron, J.-P. Agbor, S. N. Nsango, D. E. Neafsey, O. Duron, D. Ayala

This study investigates whether Wolbachia infection in Anopheles moucheti mosquitoes affects Plasmodium falciparum infection, finding no correlation between Wolbachia density and parasite development.

Invasion of forested areas in Gabon (Central Africa) by the Asian tiger mosquito and the potential consequences from the One Health perspective

J. Obame-Nkoghe, D. Roiz, M.-F. Ngangue, C. Costantini, N. Rahola, D. Jiolle, D. Lehmann, L. Makaga, D. Ayala, P. Kengne, C. Paupy

The paper tracks the spread of the Asian tiger mosquito in Gabon's rainforest and finds it thrives at human-forest interfaces, potentially facilitating zoonotic disease transmission.

High resolution species assignment of Anopheles mosquitoes using k-mer distances on targeted sequences

M. Bodde, A. Makunin, D. Ayala, L. Bouafou, A. Diabate, U. F. Ekpo, M. Kientega, G. Le Goff, B. K. Makanga, M. F. Ngangue, O. O. Omitola, N. Rahola, F. Tripet, R. Durbin, M. K. N. Lawniczak

This paper introduces NNoVAE, a method for high-resolution species assignment of Anopheles mosquitoes using k-mer distances, achieving 98% accuracy for the An. gambiae complex and 89% for other species.
