Diapause, a stage-specific developmental arrest, is widely exploited by insects to bridge
unfavorable seasons. Considerable progress has been made in understanding the ecology …

Sustainable reductions in African malaria transmission require innovative tools for mosquito
control. One proposal involves the use of low-threshold gene drive in Anopheles vector …

Gene drives are a promising means of malaria control with the potential to cause sustained
reductions in transmission. In real environments, however, their impacts will depend on local …

Africa carries a disproportionately high share of the global malaria burden, accounting for
94% of malaria cases and deaths worldwide in 2019. It is also a politically unstable region …

The two main Afrotropical malaria vectors-Anopheles coluzzii and An. gambiae–are
genetically distinct and reproductively isolated across West Africa. However, populations at …

The source of malaria vector populations that re-establish at the beginning of the rainy
season is still unclear yet knowledge of mosquito behaviour is required to effectively institute …

Diapause, a form of dormancy to delay or halt the reproductive development during
unfavourable seasons, has evolved in many insect species. One example is aestivation, an …

Mitochondrial DNA has been a popular marker in phylogeography, phylogeny, and
molecular ecology, but its complex evolution is increasingly recognized. Here, we …

Gene drive technologies are a promising means of malaria control with the potential to
cause widespread and sustained reductions in transmission. In real environments, however …

This study explores the influence of small dams on the exposure to malaria vectors during
the dry season in Kasungu district, Malawi, an area recently identified as high priority for …
