Malar J
. 2023 May;
22(1):161.
PMID: 37208735
Background: The unmet demand for effective malaria transmission-blocking agents targeting the transmissible stages of Plasmodium necessitates intensive discovery efforts. In this study, a bioactive bisbenzylisoquinoline (BBIQ), isoliensinine, from Cissampelos pariera...

PMID: 36002857
An integrated approach to innovatively counter the transmission of various arthropod-borne diseases to humans would benefit from strategies that sustainably limit onward passage of infective life cycle stages of pathogens...

PMID: 34446188
Intracellular effects exerted by phytochemicals eliciting insect growth-retarding responses during vector control intervention remain largely underexplored. We studied the effects of Zanthoxylum chalybeum Engl. (Rutaceae) (ZCE) root derivatives against malaria...

Int J Environ Res Public Health
. 2019 May;
16(9).
PMID: 31035318
New insecticides are needed for control of disease-vectoring mosquitoes and this research evaluates the activity of new carbamate acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors. Biochemical and toxicological characterization of carbamates based on the...

Pestic Biochem Physiol
. 2018 Dec;
151:32-39.
PMID: 30524149
The widespread emergence of pyrethroid-resistant has intensified the need to find new contact mosquitocides for indoor residual spraying and insecticide treated nets. With the goal of developing new species-selective and...

PLoS One
. 2017 Mar;
12(3):e0173564.
PMID: 28301607
Successful optimization of plant-derived compounds into control of nuisance insects would benefit from scientifically validated targets. However, the close association between the genotypic responses and physiological toxicity effects mediated by...

Mutunga J, Chen Q, Wong D, Lam P, Li J, Totrov M, et al.
Chimia (Aarau)
. 2016 Oct;
70(10):704-708.
PMID: 27779928
Widespread pyrethroid resistance has caused an urgent need to develop new insecticides for control of the malaria mosquito, Anopheles gambiae. Insecticide discovery efforts were directed towards the construction of bivalent...

Parasit Vectors
. 2016 Sep;
9(1):512.
PMID: 27660043
Background: Anopheles arabiensis and A. gambiae (sensu stricto) are the most prolific Afrotropical malaria vectors. Population control efforts of these two vectors have been hampered by extremely diverse larval breeding...

. 2015 Sep;
25(20):4405-11.
PMID: 26386602
Malaria is a devastating disease in sub-Saharan Africa, and current vector control measures are threatened by emerging resistance mechanisms. With the goal of developing new, selective, resistance-breaking insecticides we explored...

PMID: 26047119
Insecticide resistance in the malaria vector, Anopheles gambiae, is a serious problem, epitomized by the multi-resistant Akron strain, originally isolated in the country of Benin. Here we report resistance in...
