This paper introduces a non-contact bioassay to measure mosquito susceptibility to transfluthrin vapour, showing it can distinguish resistant and susceptible strains across labs.

This study uses genomic data to analyze evolutionary dynamics of Anopheles gambiae under different insecticidal tools, revealing distinct resistance mechanisms and allele frequency shifts.

This study examines how mould growth and outdoor exposure affect the efficacy of attractive targeted sugar baits (ATSBs) against Anopheles arabiensis, finding a non-significant reduction in feeding rates but significant decline in mortality on mouldy ATSBs.

This paper uses genomic surveillance in a cluster randomized trial to detect insecticide resistance variants in Ugandan Anopheles funestus and An. gambiae s.l., showing differential population responses to pyrethroid and PBO interventions.

The paper identifies cis-regulated genes and cis-regulatory modules in Anopheles gambiae associated with insecticide resistance using allele-specific expression and machine learning.

This study applies a spatially explicit sampling framework in coastal Kenya to identify high mosquito abundance areas and improve vector control strategies.
