Characterization of the swarming behavior of Anopheles coluzzii and Anopheles gambiae (Diptera: Culicidae) populations in a hybrid zone of Senegal.

Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles coluzzii, often found in sympatry and synchronous, have undergone a premating reproductive isolation across their distribution range. However, in the Western coast of Africa, unexpected hybridization zones have been observed, and little is known about swarming behavior of these cryptic taxa. Here, we characterized the swarming behavior of An.

Insecticide Resistance Profiling of and Populations in the Southern Senegal: Role of Target Sites and Metabolic Resistance Mechanisms.

The emergence and spread of insecticide resistance among the main malaria vectors is threatening the effectiveness of vector control interventions in Senegal. The main drivers of this resistance in the complex (e.g.
