| the salivary gland chromosomes of anopheles labranchiae falleroni 1926. | the salivary gland chromosomes of anopheles labranchiae falleroni, 1926 are described and figured. a. labranchiae is the sibling species of the maculipennis complex most closely related to a. atroparvus and the map of a. labranchiae is generally comparable to that of a. atroparvus. the chromosomal areas which are asynaptic in the hybrids between the two species are also described. | 2003 | 1032337 |

| first studies showing high temephos resistance in anopheles labranchiae (diptera: culicidae) from tunisia. | despite the public health importance of anopheles (an.) labranchiae, their resistance status to temephos insecticide has not, to our knowledge, been explored. | 2018 | 29977256 |
| genetic characterization of the anopheles maculipennis complex (diptera: culicidae) in morocco: a fundamental tool for malaria control. | the anopheles maculipennis complex has been implicated in the transmission of malaria, which was endemic in morocco until 2010. climate change, intensification of international travel and the permanent presence of the vector increase the risk of malaria re-emergence. using polymerase chain reaction assay (pcr), this study attempts to identify the possible presence of the maculipennis complex in several areas of morocco, based on the concept of risk. eighty-six mosquito specimens were analyzed us ... | 2018 | 29528090 |
| malaria in italy - migrants are not the cause. | recently, five cases of malaria were reported in italy. these people had not travelled abroad, prompting some media and political organizations to fuel a climate of fear by connecting the cases with migrants coming into the country. here, we discuss scientific data highlighting the limited risk of malaria reintroduction in italy. | 2018 | 29402564 |
