This paper uses maritime trade data to identify African countries most at risk of Anopheles stephensi invasion and prioritizes surveillance efforts based on trade connectivity and habitat suitability.

This study assesses insecticide susceptibility and kdr mutations in Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus in Kinshasa, finding resistance to deltamethrin and DDT in both species and the V410L kdr mutation in Ae. aegypti.

This study tracks the spread of Anopheles stephensi in Ethiopia using mitochondrial DNA, revealing a South Asian origin and recent expansion into southeastern regions with multiple introductions.

The paper identifies a triple mutant in Anopheles gambiae associated with pyrethroid resistance and proposes it as a diagnostic for guiding anti-malarial intervention strategies.

The paper uses high-throughput sequencing to identify eukaryotic parasites and arboviruses in mosquitoes from multiple regions, finding that RNA analysis is more effective than DNA for pathogen detection.

This study assesses insecticide resistance in Aedes aegypti in Bangladesh, finding high resistance to permethrin and multiple resistance mechanisms.

This study identifies novel Wolbachia strains and hybridization in Anopheles mosquitoes from Guinea, with higher prevalence in hybrids and a new high-density strain.

The paper surveys Anopheles stephensi distribution in eastern Ethiopia using morphological and molecular methods, confirming its presence and co-occurrence with Aedes aegypti in larval habitats.

The paper identifies novel Wolbachia strains in multiple Anopheles species from Sub-Saharan Africa and assesses their association with Plasmodium infection.
