Edible fish feasts beats malaria
The emerging threat of pesticide resistance means that biological malaria control methods are once again in vogue. view more (2007-08-09)
Sugar identified as key to malaria parasite invasion
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute (JHMRI) have identified a sugar in mosquitoes that allows the malaria-causing parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, to attach itself to the mosquito's gut. view more (2007-09-11)
Researchers find essential proteins for critical stage of malaria
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute (JHMRI) have identified the molecular components that enable the malaria-causing parasite Plasmodium to infect the salivary glands of the Anopheles mosquito-a critical stage for spreading malaria to humans. view more (2009-01-16)
Researchers put the bite on mosquitoes
Few things sting like a mosquito's bite--especially if that bite carries a disease such as malaria, yellow fever, Dengue fever or West Nile virus. But if researchers from The University of Arizona in Tucson have their way, one day mosquito bites may prove deadly to the mosquitoes as well. view more (2008-01-17)
Predicting mosquito outbreaks for disease control
University of Adelaide researchers have shown they can predict the biggest population peaks of disease-carrying mosquitoes up to two months ahead. view more (2009-03-24)
Malaria researchers identify new mosquito virus
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health's Malaria Research Institute have identified a previously unknown virus that is infectious to Anopheles gambiae-the mosquito primarily responsible for transmitting malaria. view more (2008-08-22)
New GM mosquito sexing technique is step towards malaria control, report scientists
Scientists have genetically modified male mosquitoes to express a glowing protein in their gonads, in an advance that allows them to separate the different sexes quickly. view more (2005-10-10)
Love bites
Biology PhD student Gill Horne and her supervisor, mosquito expert Dr Angela Priestman, have been studying the mating behaviour of mosquitoes in special hotrooms at the University's School of Sciences. view more (2000-01-18)
Research team discovers hormone that causes malaria mosquito to urinate
Prior to coming to Nevada 16 years ago, David Schooley was a key figure at a small company in Palo Alto, Calif. that developed methoprene, an insecticide that halts the maturation of insect larvae to adults. view more (2005-08-25)
Mosquito immune system examined
Mosquitoes employ the same immune factors to fight off bacterial pathogens as they do to kill malaria-causing Plasmodium parasites, according to a study by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. view more (2006-06-09)
Bacteria Play Role in Preventing Spread of Malaria
Bacteria in the gut of the Anopheles gambiae mosquito inhibit infection of the insect with Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite that causes malaria in humans, according to researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. view more (2009-05-11)
Mosquitoes vs. Malaria: How we can win the fight
EMBL scientists have identified four mosquito proteins that affect the ability of the malaria parasite (Plasmodium) to survive and develop in the malaria-carrier mosquito (Anopheles). This breakthrough, featured in recent issues of Cell (March 5, 2004) and Science (March 26, 2004), could be used to block the transmission of malaria from mosquitoes... view more... (2004-03-22)
Chew fly, don't bother me
Genetic engineering may offer new hope for controlling malaria, entomologists will tell the Royal Entomological Society's meeting Entomology 2001: "Insects and disease", to be held at the University of Aberdeen on 10-12 September 2001. Alex Schwartz of the University of Aarhus in Denmark, and Professor Jacob Koella of the... view more... (2001-08-30)
Smaller mosquitoes are more likey to be infected with viruses causing human diseases
An entomologist at the Illinois Natural History Survey, a division of the new UI Institute for Natural Resource Sustainability, says smaller mosquitoes are more likely to be infected with viruses that cause diseases in humans. view more (2008-11-04)
Entomologists offer new hope for controlling malaria
Entomologists are bringing new hope of preventing malaria in tropical villages. Research published in the new issue of the Royal Entomological Society journal Medical & Veterinary Entomology could significantly improve the effectiveness of insecticide-treated mosquito nets. One paper (Guillet et al, Medical & Veterinary Entomology, 15(1),... view more... (2001-03-07)
Mosquitoes are more attracted to individuals infected with malaria
Malaria remains a devastating problem in Africa and understanding the factors affecting its transmission remains a crucial part of the effort to combat the disease. view more (2005-08-09)
Earlier bites by uninfected mosquitoes boost West Nile deaths in lab mice
There's one more reason to try to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes, scientists have discovered: bites from mosquitoes that aren't infected by the West Nile virus may make the disease worse in people who acquire it later from West Nile-infected mosquitoes. view more (2007-11-16)
The hidden danger in used tyres
The international used tyre trade is bringing unwanted visitors to Europe - exotic mosquitoes. Species such as the Asian 'Tiger Mosquito' are able to survive in temperate climates, spread diseases (such as dengue and West Nile virus, among others) and may be poised to take Britain by surprise, unless monitoring systems are put in place. Tiger... view more... (2002-03-26)
Sea cucumber protein used to inhibit development of malaria parasite
Scientists have genetically engineered a mosquito to release a sea-cucumber protein into its gut which impairs the development of malaria parasites, according to research out today (21 December) in PLoS Pathogens. view more (2007-12-21)
