Background: Climate influences dengue ecology by affecting vector dynamics, agent
development, and mosquito/human interactions. Although these relationships are known …

The multifaceted innate immune system of insects is capable of fighting infection by a variety
of pathogens including those causing human malaria. Malaria transmission by the …

A causative agent of human malaria, Plasmodium falciparum, is transmitted by Anopheles
mosquitoes. The malaria parasite is under intensive attack from the mosquito's innate …

Mosquitoes vary in their competence or ability to transmit arthropod-borne viruses
(arboviruses). Many arboviruses cause disease in humans and animals. Identifying the …

The Anopheles gambiae immune response against Plasmodium falciparum, an etiological
agent of human malaria, has been identified as a source of potential anti-Plasmodium genes …

Background Pyrethroid resistance in the major malaria vector Anopheles funestus is rapidly
expanding across Southern Africa. It remains unknown whether this resistance has a unique …

In many systems, host–parasite evolutionary dynamics have led to the emergence and
maintenance of diverse parasite and host genotypes within the same population. Genotypes …

Understanding how mosquito vectors and malaria parasites interact is of fundamental
interest, and it also offers novel perspectives for disease control. Both the genetic and …

Mosquitoes are responsible for the transmission of diseases with a serious impact on global
human health, such as malaria and dengue. All mosquito-transmitted pathogens complete …

The closely related and morphologically indistinguishable mosquito species in the
Afrotropical Anopheles gambiae complex differ dramatically in their contribution to malaria …
