A global map of dominant malaria vectors Marianne E Sinka, Michael J Bangs, Sylvie Manguin, Yasmin Rubio-Palis, Theeraphap Chareonviriyaphap, Maureen Coetzee, Charles M Mbogo, Janet Hemingway, Anand P Patil, William H Temperley, Peter W Gething, Caroline W Kabaria, Thomas R Burkot, Ralph E Harbach, Simon I Hay Parasites & Vectors 2012, 5:69 (4 April 2012) We describe the generation of a global map of the dominant vector species (DVS) of malaria created by combining evidence-based predicted distribution maps for individual species or species complexes.

Ashley Peery, Maria V Sharakhova, Christophe Antonio-Nkondjio, Cyrille Ndo, Mylene Weill, Frederic Simard, Igor V Sharakhov Parasites & Vectors 2011, 4:202 (19 October 2011) We developed a chromosome map of microsatellite markers for Anopheles nili, a major malaria vector in the humid savannas and forested areas of sub-Saharan Africa. This map allows genome-wide inferences about the population structure of An. nili.

Pattern of malaria transmission along the Rahad River basin, Eastern Sudan Yousif E Himeidan, Mervet M Elzaki, Eliningaya J Kweka, Muntaser Ibrahim, Ibrahim M Elhassan Parasites & Vectors 2011, 4:109 (16 June 2011) Along seasonal river basins of eastern Sudan, the number of infective bites due to the malaria vector fluctuates with bimodal annual peaks followed the rainfall and the subsequent recess of the rivers upon its fragmentation into disparate ponds of water. This latter creates adequate breeding habitats, during the hot and cool and dry seasons, for the principal malaria vector, An. arabiensis.
