Spatial distribution of Plasmodium vivax Duffy Binding Protein copy number variation and Duffy genotype, and their association with parasitemia in Ethiopia Open
Background Duffy Binding Protein (PvDBP) binding to the Duffy antigen receptor for chemokine (DARC) is essential for Plasmodium vivax invasion of human reticulocytes. PvDBP copy number variation (CNV) might increase parasite invasion and t…
Anopheles stephensi is implicated in an outbreak of Plasmodium falciparum parasites that carry markers of drug and diagnostic resistance in Dire Dawa City, Ethiopia, January–July 2022 Open
Anopheles stephensi , an Asian urban malaria vector, continues to expand across Africa. We investigated the role of An. stephensi in malaria transmission following a dry season outbreak in Dire Dawa, Ethiopia, from April to July 2022, usin…

Naturally acquired antibodies to gametocyte antigens are associated with reduced transmission of Plasmodium vivax gametocytes to Anopheles arabiensis mosquitoes Open
Naturally acquired antibodies may reduce the transmission of Plasmodium gametocytes to mosquitoes. Here, we investigated associations between antibody prevalence and P. vivax infectivity to mosquitoes. A total of 368 microscopy confirmed P…

<i>Anopheles stephensi</i> Mosquitoes as Vectors of <i>Plasmodium</i><i>vivax</i> and <i>falciparum</i>, Horn of Africa, 2019 Open
Anopheles stephensi mosquitoes, efficient vectors in parts of Asia and Africa, were found in 75.3% of water sources surveyed and contributed to 80.9% of wild-caught Anopheles mosquitoes in Awash Sebat Kilo, Ethiopia. High susceptibility of…

<i>Anopheles stephensi</i> as an emerging malaria vector in the Horn of Africa with high susceptibility to Ethiopian <i>Plasmodium vivax</i> and <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> isolates Open
Anopheles stephensi , an efficient Asian malaria vector, recently spread into the Horn of Africa and may increase malaria receptivity in African urban areas. We assessed occurrence, genetic complexity, blood meal source and infection statu…
