Swarming Behavior in Anopheles gambiae (sensu lato): Current Knowledge and Future Outlook

Rowida Baeshen

Summary: Effective management of insect disease vectors requires understanding their ecology and behavior. In Anopheles gambiae s.I., mating occurs during swarming over specific landmarks known as swarm markers. The number of mating pairs per swarm is closely associated with swarm size.

Mathematical modelling to assess the feasibility of Wolbachia in malaria vector biocontrol

Saige Andreychuk et al.

Summary: Releasing mosquitoes carrying Wolbachia has been a successful strategy for controlling arboviruses, and now researchers are adapting it for malaria control. However, antagonistic interactions between Wolbachia and naturally resident Asaia bacteria in malaria vectors may pose challenges. A mathematical model was developed to assess the feasibility of this strategy, and the findings suggest the need for further laboratory experiments.

A transmission dynamics model of COVID-19: Case of Cameroon

Calvin Tadmon et al.

Summary: In this study, we propose and investigate an ordinary differential equations model to describe the spread of COVID-19 in Cameroon. The model takes into account different states of infected individuals and the amount of virus in the environment, and evaluates their impact on disease transmission. We compute the control reproduction number and derive an optimal control problem, providing theoretical analysis and graphical results.

Microsporidia MB is found predominantly associated with Anopheles gambiae s.s and Anopheles coluzzii in Ghana

Jewelna Akorli et al.

Summary: A vertically transmitted microsporidian, Microsporidia MB, disrupting Plasmodium development in Anopheles arabiensis from Kenya, was reported in East Africa. This study indicates a possible widespread presence of the microsporidian among malaria vector species in West Africa, highlighting the need for further investigations into the symbiont's diversity across sub-Saharan Africa.

Horizontal Transmission of the Symbiont Microsporidia MB in Anopheles arabiensis

Godfrey Nattoh et al.

Summary: The recently discovered Anopheles symbiont, Microsporidia MB, has a strong malaria transmission-blocking phenotype in Anopheles arabiensis mosquitoes and can be transmitted horizontally between adult mosquitoes. It is also vertically transmitted to offspring and can potentially infect alternate hosts like Anopheles funestus s.s. This finding is relevant for the development of dissemination strategies to control malaria by releasing Microsporidia MB infected Anopheles mosquitoes.

Optimal release programs for dengue prevention using Aedes aegypti mosquitoes transinfected with wMel or wMelPop Wolbachia strains

Daiver Cardona-Salgado et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a dengue transmission model that accounts for two sex-structured mosquito populations and discusses the advantages and drawbacks of two Wolbachia strains, wMel and wMelPop, for dengue prevention and control. The study utilizes a dynamic optimization approach to design optimal programs for releasing Wolbachia-carrying mosquitoes.
