Article Synopsis
- * Researchers collected water samples from eight sites and isolated 206 fungal strains, grouping them into 30 different morphotypes.
- * Fungi were identified through microscopy and DNA sequencing, revealing a predominance of Ascomycota, and significantly advancing our understanding of fungi in mosquito breeding habitats.

Article Synopsis
- Metagenomic research revealed that mosquito viromes are more diverse than just pathogenic viruses that affect humans, highlighting the complexity of mosquito-borne viruses.* -
- In a study conducted on 866 female mosquitoes in São Paulo Zoo, a new virus was identified through RNA extraction and next-generation sequencing, showing potential as a new species of iflavirus.* -
- These findings enhance our understanding of viral diversity in mosquitoes and provide a valuable genomic reference, aiding future research in virology and metagenomics.*
Non-contact detection of pyrethroids widely used in vector control by Anopheles mosquitoes.
PLoS One
July 2024
MIVEGEC, University Montpellier, IRD, CNRS, Montpellier, France.
Pyrethroids are the most widely used insecticides to control vector borne diseases including malaria. Physiological resistance mechanisms to these insecticides have been well described, whereas those for behavioral resistance remain overlooked. Field data suggest the presence of spatial sensory detection by Anopheles mosquitoes of the pyrethroid molecules used in insecticide-based control tools, such as long-lasting insecticide nets or insecticide residual spraying.

Kenya Medical Research Institute, Wellcome Trust Research Programme, Kilifi, Kenya, 230-80108, Kenya.
Background: Protein analysis using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation time-of-flight mass-spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) represents a promising tool for entomological surveillance. In this study we tested the discriminative power of this tool for measuring species and blood meal source of main Afrotropical malaria vectors on the Kenyan coast.
Methods: Mosquito collections were conducted along the coastal region of Kenya.
