Scientists at Keele University have created the first detailed map of the genetic "switches" that control reproduction in disease-carrying insects such as Anopheles gambiae, the mosquito species most ...

Researchers at Keele University have produced the first comprehensive map of genetic switches controlling reproduction in Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes, the primary malaria vector. The study identifies ...

Mosquitoes of the genus Anopheles are well known as primary vectors of malaria. But a new study suggests that Anopheles species, including some found in the United States, also are capable of carrying ...

For the first time in 20 years, five people have picked up malaria on U.S. soil. On June 26, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a health advisory, announcing that over the last ...

We’ll send you a myFT Daily Digest email rounding up the latest University of California news every morning. Malaria depends on a complex triangle of biological relationships between the Plasmodium ...

Public health experts have called for more proactive actions against a new malaria vector, Anopheles stephensi, warning that it could make malaria control and management more difficult in the country ...

The old joke says that infertility isn't hereditary, but a team of scientists at Imperial College London is proving it wrong as a way to fight malaria. Using gene splicing, the team is working on a ...

A genetic study on mosquitoes from northeastern India and Southeast Asia has traced the evolution of human-biting preferences in certain species to around 1.8 million years ago. Scientists have found ...
