Abstract Sub-Saharan Africa is registering one of the highest urban population growth
across the world. It is estimated that over 75% of the population in this region will be living in …

Mosquito-borne diseases cause major human diseases in almost every part of the world. In
West Africa, and notably in Mali, vector control measures help reduce the impact of mosquito …

Insecticide resistance across sub-Saharan Africa may impact the continued effectiveness of
malaria vector control. We investigated the association between carbamate and pyrethroid …

Deep coalescence and introgression make it challenging to infer phylogenetic relationships
among closely related species that arose through radiative speciation events. Despite …

Malaria is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Mali. Between 2017 and 2020, the

complexes, or supergenes. The 2La inversion is a widespread polymorphism in the …

Background In recent years, the scale-up of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor
residual spraying (IRS) has greatly reduced malaria transmission. However, malaria …

Anopheles mosquitoes are vectors of the human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum.
The vector microbiota is a likely factor influencing parasite transmission. The prokaryotic …

A growing number of people undertake international travel, and yet faster growth of such
travel is expected in the tropics. Information on the hazards presented by pool and hot spring …

Background Malaria transmission is known to be perennial and heterogeneous in Benin.
Studies assessing local malaria prevalence, transmission levels and vector characteristics …
