The effects of human and rhesus macaque blood meal sources on mosquito reproduction and adult survival under laboratory conditions
Exp Parasitol. 2023 Aug 7:108591. doi: 10.1016/j.exppara.2023.108591. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMass rearing of mosquitoes as required to fulfil research studies is a technically challenging endeavor. Blood meal source has been recognized as a key consideration in mass rearing of mosquitoes that affects colony health and fecundity. Four species of laboratory-colonized mosquitoes from the Department of Entomology, US Army Medical Directorate - Armed Forces Research Institute of Medical Sciences (USAMD-AFRIMS); Anopheles cracens, An. dirus, An. minimus and An. sawadwongporni were fed blood meals from human and rhesus mac...

Unraveling mosquito metabolism with mass spectrometry-based metabolomics
Trends Parasitol. 2021 Apr 22:S1471-4922(21)00078-7. doi: 10.1016/j.pt.2021.03.010. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNearly half a million people die annually due to mosquito-borne diseases. Despite aggressive mosquito population-control efforts, current strategies are limited in their ability to control these vectors. A better understanding of mosquito metabolism through modern approaches can contribute to the discovery of novel metabolic targets and/or regulators and lead to the development of better mosquito-control strategies. Currently, cutting-edge technologies such as gas or liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry-base...

Experimental Study on Plasmodium berghei, Anopheles Stephensi, and BALB/c Mouse System: Implications for Malaria Transmission Blocking Assays.
Conclusion: This study helps to understand the biology of vertebrate-parasite and mosquito-malaria interactions that may aid in the development of a new generation of drug/vaccine and vector-based measures for malaria control. PMID: 30697308 [PubMed]

From the Laboratory to the Field: Updating Capacity Building in Medical Entomology.
Abstract Training and innovation in the field of medical entomology are essential to mitigate the burden of vector-borne diseases globally. However, there is a shortage of medical entomologists worldwide, and there are large discrepancies in capacity building in this field. In this article, we discuss the current situation, what is needed from the medical entomologist of today, and how we can bridge this gap. PMID: 28624159 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
