Mosquitoes, just as other insects produced for the sterile insect technique (SIT), are
subjected to several unnatural processes including laboratory colonisation and large-scale …

Before sterile mass-reared mosquitoes are released in an attempt to control local
populations, many facets of male mating biology need to be elucidated. Large knowledge …

Abstract Background Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS)
represent the front-line tools for malaria vector control globally, but are optimally effective …

Reunion Island suffers from high densities of the chikungunya and dengue vector Aedes
albopictus. The sterile insect technique (SIT) offers a promising strategy for mosquito-borne …

Background Increases in the coverage of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) have
significantly reduced the abundance of Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto in several African …

Determining malaria vector species and age is crucial to measure malaria risk. Although
different in ecology and susceptibility to control, the African malaria vectors Anopheles …

Modified Aedes aegypti mosquitoes reared in laboratories are being released around the
world to control wild mosquito populations and the diseases they transmit. Several efforts …

Background Medical entomologists increasingly recognize that the ability to make
inferences between laboratory experiments of vector biology and epidemiological trends …

Abstract Background The G119S mutation responsible for insensitive acetylcholinesterase
resistance to organophosphate and carbamate insecticides has recently been reported from …

Insecticide resistance threatens the success achieved through vector control in reducing the
burden of malaria. An understanding of insecticide resistance mechanisms would help to …
