Study on Elevated Plasmodium infection rates and high pyrethroid resistance in major malaria vectors in a forested area of Cameroon highlight challenges of malaria control revealed high percentage of blood meal taken exclusively on human (97.65–98.95%) supporting the high antropohilic behaviour of both species. Plasmodium falciparum infection rate detected by ELISA was high throughout the study period and varied between 3.28–14.04% (mean: 10.40%) in An. funestus, and between 5.55–22.22% (mean: 13.87%) in An. gambiae. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5844105/
A review on the progress of sex-separation techniques for sterile insect technique applications against Anopheles arabiensis shows thst, the development of a sex separation strategy using pupal sexual dimorphism is not applicable to An. arabiensis. The use of ivermectin to eliminate females shows great potential, but currently cannot be relied upon as a sole sex-separation strategy and would require further investigation on formulations and effectiveness if added to an artificial blood-meal. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6304763/

A study on the Population structure of a vector of human diseases: Aedes aegypti in its ancestral range, Africa suggests West Africa, especially Angola as the source of the New World’s invasion, a scenario that fits well with the historic record of 16th-century slave trade between Africa and Americas. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30250667
Exploring insecticide resistance mechanisms in three major malaria vectors from Bangui in Central African Republic. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30433868
Findings generated from a study of Geographical distribution of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae) and genetic diversity of invading population of Ae. albopictus in the Republic of the Congo are important for the implementation of vector control strategies and can serve as a foundation for further research on these vectors in the country. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30175244.3
Investigation of an Outbreak of Dengue Virus Serotype 1 in a Rural Area of Kribi, South Cameroon: A Cross-Sectional Study. On May 2017, a case of dengue serotype 1 was detected and confirmed through routine surveillance in a traveler returning from Kribi, a seaside town of Southern Cameroon. This study aimed at confirming the circulation of dengue virus (DENV) in Southern Cameroon. Results indicate that the detection of DENV serotype 1 in an autochthonous population during this survey is a confirmation that the seaside city of Kribi is a risk area for contracting dengue infection in Cameroon.

Pyrethroid Resistance in Malaysian Populations of Dengue Vector Aedes aegypti Is Mediated by CYP9 Family of Cytochrome P450 Genes indicate predominant over-expression of cytochrome P450s suggests that synergist-based (PBO) control tools could be utilised to improve control of this major dengue vector across Malaysia. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28114328
Evidence generated from study on Potential of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus populations in the Central African Republic to transmit enzootic chikungunya virus strains confirm the risk of transmission of enzootic CHIKV by anthropophilic vectors such as Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28347325
Temporal distribution and insecticide resistance profile of two major arbovirus vectors Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus in Yaoundé, the capital city of Cameroon. These findings are vitsal in planning vector control programmes against arbovirus vectors in Cameroon and can be used as baseline in Africa where data on Aedes resistance is very scarce to plan further works. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29017606

Investigation of mechanisms of bendiocarb resistance in Anopheles gambiae populations from the city of Yaoundé, Cameroon highlights the probable implication of metabolic mechanisms in bendiocarb resistance in An. gambiae populations from Yaoundé and stresses the need for further studies leading to functional validation of detoxification genes involved in this resistance https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4994282/
Studies on Global genetic diversity of Aedes aegypti provides a reference database of genetic diversity that can be used to determine the likely origin of new introductions that occur regularly for this invasive species. The genetic uniqueness of many populations and regions has important implications for attempts to control Ae. aegypti, especially for the methods using genetic modification of populations. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27671732
Findings on the Susceptibility profile and metabolic mechanisms involved in Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus resistant to DDT and deltamethrin in the Central African Republic suggest that regular, continuous monitoring of resistance is necessary in order to select the most effective adulticides for arbovirus control in Bangui.
