Insecticide resistance in mosquitoes has become a severe impediment to global vector control and manifests as decreased insecticide effectiveness. The role of target site mutations and detoxification enzymes as resistance markers has been documented in mosquitoes; however, the emergence of complex resistant phenotypes suggest the occurrence of additional mechanisms. Cuticular proteins (CPs) are key constituents of the insect cuticle, and play critical roles in insect development and insecticide resistance.

Aedes albopictus (Ae. albopictus) is widely distributed and can transmit many infectious diseases, and insecticide-based interventions play an important role in vector control. However, increased insecticide resistance has become a severe public health problem, and the clarification of its detailed mechanism is a matter of urgence.

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD) is one of hereditary diseases sariously influencing the human health. G6PD is characterized by wide distribution, high incidence, inducing the hemolysis, complex mechanism of hemolysis and common occurence in children and so on. The blood transfusion is most effective method for acute ouset of hemolysis, but the risk is more high, thereby it is necessary to guarante the safety of blood transfusion.

Background: Tengchong County was one of the counties located at the China-Myanmar border with high malaria incidence in the previous decades. As the pilot county for malaria elimination at the border area, Tengchong County is aiming to be the first county to achieve malaria elimination goal. A cross-sectional entomological survey was carried out to evaluate the feasibility of elimination approach and assess the receptivity of malaria reintroduction.

Objective: To understand the population, density, seasonal fluctuation and nocturnal pattern of malaria vectors in Jiangsu Province, thus to provide evidences for malaria elimination in this province.

Methods: Seven counties (cities, districts) were selected as the monitoring sites for malaria vectors in Jiangsu Province from 2013 to 2015. The mosquitoes were captured by human bait trapping in bed nets and mosquito-lured lamp overnight, and the seasonal fluctuation and nocturnal pattern of malaria vectors were observed.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how temperature influences the development of Aedes albopictus at various stages (egg, larva, pupae) across a range of temperatures (10-40 °C).
  • At 10 °C, no development occurs, while temperatures of 15-35 °C yield varying hatchability, pupation, and emergence rates.
  • The optimal temperature range for mosquito development is identified as 25-30 °C, with higher or lower temperatures hindering their growth.

Objective: To understand the epidemic situation and influencing factors of malaria in Jiangsu Province and grasp its epidemic regularity and trend.

Methods: According to the malaria prevalence in Jiangsu Province, 6 counties (city, district) including Yixing, Suining, Wujin, Hai'an, Ganyu and Xuyi were selected as provincial surveillance sites to survey malaria epidemic conditions. The basic information, blood test results of fever patients, case investigation, information of malaria patients, monitoring data of investigation and disposition of the malaria focus were collected and analyzed.

Background: Anopheles sinensis is one of the most important malaria vectors in China and other Southeast Asian countries. High levels of resistance have been reported in this species due to the long-term use of insecticides, especially pyrethroids, for public health and agricultural purposes. Knockdown resistance (kdr) caused by a single base pair mutation in the gene encoding the sodium channel is strongly associated with pyrethroid insecticide resistance in many Anopheles mosquitoes.
