- prevalence, patient genetics, historical use of malaria chemoprophylaxis by the patient, knowledge of local anti-malarial drug resistance, and the patient's pregnancy status. (medscape.com)
- Measures to control malaria are becoming less effective as both insecticide- and drug-resistance increases. (mesamalaria.org)
- Application of multiplex amplicon deep-sequencing (MAD-seq) to screen for putative drug resistance markers in the Necator americanus isotype-1 β-tubulin gene. (cdc.gov)
- For these reasons, patients may not comply with treatment (if they began) and drug resistance may emerge. (who.int)
Assays1
- However, most of these previous reports are based upon laboratory assays of resistance. (cdc.gov)
Larvae1
- Anopheles larvae collected from different breeding sites in the community were reared to adults in the insectary and were morphologically identified following standard protocols. (dipterajournal.com)
Biological insecticides1
- Entomopathogenic fungi as biological insecticides to control malaria. (org.vn)
Gene2
- The gene CPLCG5 encodes a cuticle protein that plays an important role in pyrethroid resistance. (biomedcentral.com)
- Building on our preliminary results, we will test the hypothesis that a synthetic Medea gene drive system can be developed in Anopheles stephensi . (mesamalaria.org)
Parasites3
- Anopheles mosquitoes are responsible for transmitting human malaria parasites that cause an estimated 200 million cases and more than 600 thousand deaths each year. (sciencedaily.com)
- Until now, the lack of such genomic resources for other Anopheles limited comparisons to small-scale studies of individual genes with no genome-wide data to investigate key attributes that impact the mosquito's ability to transmit parasites. (sciencedaily.com)
- Malaria Regions of the World Malaria and its symptoms Malaria is a serious disease that occurs when an infected Anopheles mosquito bites a person and injects malaria parasites into the blood. (cdc.gov)
Organophosphate1
ITNs1
- In resource-constrained settings, such as Côte d'Ivoire, the relatively short period those insecticides remain effective on a conventionally treated net (CTN) is an important obstacle to sustaining high coverage rates of ITNs. (biomedcentral.com)
Prevalence4
- Allele frequency of knock down resistance (kdr) in An arabiensis was higher in Galabat compared to the other areas, but a relationship between kdr frequency and malaria incidence (or malaria prevalence) was not apparent. (who.int)
- Furthermore, there has been no evidence of any relationship between malaria incidence or prevalence and phenotypic resistance in this study. (who.int)
- Chemical insecticides have hugely reduced the prevalence of vector-borne diseases around the world, but resistance threatens their continued effectiveness. (biomedcentral.com)
- This is due to the prevalence of the Anopheles mosquito that transmits the disease. (publichealthlandscape.com)
Global malaria control1
- Anopheles mosquitoes' resistance to insecticides, for instance, endangers global malaria control progress. (alma2030.org)
Gambiae genome1
- Much of our understanding of many such processes derives from the sequencing of the Anopheles gambiae genome in 2002, which was led by Notre Dame researchers and which has since facilitated many large-scale functional studies that have offered numerous insights into how this mosquito became highly specialized in order to live amongst and feed upon humans. (sciencedaily.com)
Phenotypic resistance1
- Phenotypic resistance was determined using standard susceptibility tests. (lshtm.ac.uk)
Pyrethroid and DDT resistance1
- Most tested mosquitoes carried at least one mutant Vgsc -L995F allele that is associated with pyrethroid and DDT resistance. (biomedcentral.com)
Metabolic1
- However, none of these options are able to reduce the metabolic activity of the mosquito against insecticides. (biomedcentral.com)
