Based on highly successful demonstrations in Israel that attractive toxic sugar bait (ATSB) methods can decimate local populations of mosquitoes, this study determined the effectiveness ATSB for malaria vector control semi-arid Bandiagara District Mali, West Africa. Control and treatment sites, selected along a road connects villages, contained man-made ponds were primary larval habitats Anopheles gambiae arabiensis. Guava honey melons, two fruits shown to be An. s.l., used prepare solutions...
Attractive toxic sugar bait (ATSB) solutions containing any gut toxins can be either sprayed on plants or used in simple stations to attract and kill sugar-feeding female male mosquitoes. This field study Mali demonstrates the effect of ATSB inside houses as a vector control method that targets kills endophilic African malaria vectors.The studies were conducted five villages located near River Niger, Mali. Baseline village-wide assessments densities for Anopheles gambiae sensu lato performed...
Two new species of the genus Leptometa Aurivillius, 1927 are described from rich Congolian forests: danieli sp. n. and gabrielae Both known by short series males which compared with five other genus.
A new genus Meyameta gen. n. is established for the South African Glocia straminea Aurivillius, 1921 which was considered within Madagascan Napta Guenée, 1865 (type species serratilinea Guinée, 1865) and a roberti sp. from Namibia described. The compared with genera Henometa 1927 Pachymeta clarki 1909).
Abstract Background Based on recent studies in Israel demonstrating that attractive toxic sugar bait (ATSB) methods can be used to decimate local anopheline and culicine mosquito populations, an important consideration is whether the same adapted improved attract kill malaria vectors Africa. The ATSB approach uses fruit or flower scent as attractant, solution a feeding stimulant, oral toxin. solutions are either sprayed vegetation suspended simple stations, mosquitoes ingesting killed. As...
Attractive targeted sugar baits (ATSBs) are a promising new tool for malaria control as they can target outdoor-feeding mosquito populations, in contrast to current vector tools which predominantly indoor-feeding mosquitoes.It was sought estimate the potential impact of these on Plasmodium falciparum prevalence African settings by combining data from recent entomological field trial ATSBs undertaken Mali with mathematical models transmission. The key parameter determining population is...
Application methods of |Attractive Toxic Sugar Baits (ATSB) need to be improved for wide-scale use, and effects on non-target organisms (NTOs) must assessed. The goals this study were determine, at the village level, effect different configurations bait stations (1) achieve < 25% Anopheles mosquito vector daily feeding rate both males females (2) minimize organisms.
A new genus Mckenziana gen. n. with maighreadae sp. (type-species), roganae and ciani are described. Detailed diagnosis for the is provided compared four closely related genera: Ptyssophlebia Berio, 1937; Catalebeda Aurivillius, 1902; Oplometa 1894; Muzunguja Zolotuhin & Gurkovich, 2009.
Four new species of the genus Hapsimachogonia Prozorov & Zolotuhin, 2016 are described: 1) graham sp. n. from Uganda; 2) margit Angola and Namibia; 3) max West African Sahel; 4) michael predominantly occurring in forests but also recorded a few locations northwards Sahel. cavuata is for first time Central Republic. Adults both sexes, their genitalia, map with collecting localities, phylogenetic tree p-distances analyzed illustrated.
Seven new species of the Afrotropic Lasiocampidae genus Rhynchobombyx are described and illustrated: Rh. gavinfilippone Prozorov, Saldaitis & Müller sp. n., avadomenicarocchio julianjameseaton anthonychristophereaton nicolasroberteaton arijakefriend madisonellafriend n. All originate from poorly studied Congolian lowland forests ecoregion Congo Democratic Republic Congo. Lectotype paralectotype nasuta Aurivillius, 1909 designated here, type locality is specified.
Two new species of the genus Gonotrichidia Berio, 1937 (type modestissima from Democratic Republic Congo) are described: braedan sp. n. Malawi, Tanzania and Zambia, eponine Ivory coast.
A new genus and species Khayapacha gen. n. danieli sp. from Kenya are described compared with closely related Gonotrichidia Berio, 1937 the type modestissima Democratic Republic of Congo Henometa Aurivillius, 1927 clarki (Aurivillius, 1909) South Africa.
A new species of the genus Leptometa Aurivillius, 1927, cynthia sp. n., is described from rich Congolian forests. The compared with morphologically closest and sympatric sapelensis 1927 (type locality “Nigeria: Sapele”). Adult males their genitalia are illustrated.
Attractive targeted sugar baits (ATSBs) have the potential to significantly reduce infective female Anopheles mosquitoes in arid areas, such as Northern Mali. Malaria is epidemic north due limited viability of species desert climate. The goal this study was determine effect ATSB on number older An. gambiae and sporozoite-positive females villages northern Villages were located In study, 5677 stations deployed, two each home, ten during late July early August 2019. Ten served controls. After...
Nine species of Pterophoridae are recorded for the Republic Mali. All except Exelastis pumilio (Zeller, 1873) fauna country first time.
A new species of the genus Leipoxais Holland, 1893, buttafuoco sp. n., is described from Mali. The compared with morphologically closest mustelina (Distant, 1899) South Africa. Adults and their genitalia are illustrated.
The article presents a new description of Camellocossus poltavskyi, sp. n. (type locality: “Mali, Monts Mandingue, SW Sandama”). It is compared with the closely related species ifrit Yakovlev & Witt, 2017 from Sudan and lalibela Ethiopia. Female C. poltavskyi first known female for genus. Adults their genitalia are illustrated.
The horse-fly fauna of the East Mediterranean is poorly known and, in some geographical areas, has not been studied for decades. present study summarizes results tabanid collections performed over 30 years Greek islands (the Cyclades, Dodecanese, North Aegean and Crete) Cyprus. In total, 18 species were from territory. reports an additional 10 species. Previously, only 1 horsefly was Dodecanese islands, 2 Cyclades. This raised number to 6, 7, 9, respectively. combined taxa three island...
