| description and bionomics of anopheles (cellia) ovengensis (diptera: culicidae), a new malaria vector species of the anopheles nili group from south cameroon. | mosquito species of the anopheles nili group (diptera: culicidae) transmit malaria to humans along rivers in africa. to date, the an. nili group includes the species anopheles nili s.s. and its pale-winged variant known as the "congo form," anopheles somalicus and anopheles carnevalei. larval and adult mosquito collections in the forest region of campo, in southern cameroon, uncovered an additional morphological variant provisionally called "oveng form" that was subsequently found to be genetica ... | 2004 | 15311444 |
| a pre-intervention study of malaria vector abundance in rio muni, equatorial guinea: their role in malaria transmission and the incidence of insecticide resistance alleles. | following the success of the malaria control intervention on the island of bioko, malaria control by the use of indoor residual spraying (irs) and long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (llitn) was extended to rio muni, on the mainland part of equatorial guinea. this manuscript reports on the malaria vectors present and the incidence of insecticide resistant alleles prior to the onset of the programme. | 2008 | 18823554 |
| population genetic structure of the malaria vector anopheles nili in sub-saharan africa. | anopheles nili is a widespread efficient vector of human malaria parasites in the humid savannas and forested areas of sub-saharan africa. understanding an. nili population structure and gene flow patterns could be useful for the development of locally-adapted vector control measures. | 2010 | 20540796 |

| multigene phylogenetics reveals temporal diversification of major african malaria vectors. | the major vectors of malaria in sub-saharan africa belong to subgenus cellia. yet, phylogenetic relationships and temporal diversification among african mosquito species have not been unambiguously determined. knowledge about vector evolutionary history is crucial for correct interpretation of genetic changes identified through comparative genomics analyses. in this study, we estimated a molecular phylogeny using 49 gene sequences for the african malaria vectors an. gambiae, an. funestus, an. ni ... | 2014 | 24705448 |
| cryptic genetic diversity within the anopheles nili group of malaria vectors in the equatorial forest area of cameroon (central africa). | the anopheles nili group of mosquitoes includes important vectors of human malaria in equatorial forest and humid savannah regions of sub-saharan africa. however, it remains largely understudied, and data on its populations' bionomics and genetic structure are crucially lacking. here, we used a combination of nuclear (i.e. microsatellite and ribosomal dna) and mitochondrial dna markers to explore and compare the level of genetic polymorphism and divergence among populations and species of the gr ... | 2013 | 23516565 |
