Scientists engineered a naturally occurring genetic variant (Q224) in Anopheles stephensi mosquitoes, making them highly ...

Many mosquito species have relatively poor vision, and Anopheles coluzzii -- a major spreader of malaria in Africa -- is no exception.

These genetically modified organisms (GMOs), Anopheles mosquitoes, are genetically altered in such a way that successful mating leads to nonviable offspring. These mutant mosquitos can be bred and ...

A female Anopheles mosquito is sitting on a vine of the forest at Tehatta, West Bengal, India. This genus of mosquitoes cause malaria in humans in endemic areas.

The researchers employed a screening technique that temporarily blocked the activity of specific genes in Anopheles mosquitoes, especially in Anopheles gambiae, the primary malaria-transmitting ...

In a paper published Aug. 30 in the journal Current Biology, the team revealed that when a male Anopheles coluzzii mosquito hears the sound of female-specific wingbeats, his vision becomes active.

Scientists at the University of California have developed a precision-guided sterile insect technique to eliminate Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes, achieving over 99.5% male sterility and 99.9% ...
