AI-powered image recognition and citizen science have enabled the potential first detection of invasive Anopheles stephensi mosquitoes in Madagascar, highlighting new tools for global malaria surveillance.
AI and citizen science reveal potential first detection of invasive malaria mosquito in Madagascar
Researchers from the University of South Florida have used artificial intelligence and citizen science to identify what may be the first specimen of Anopheles stephensi—an invasive and deadly malaria-carrying mosquito—ever detected in Madagascar.

The first detailed look at how mosquitoes mate from @leslievosshall.bsky.social's lab reverses the assumption that male mosquitoes control the process, finding that a subtle female behavior dictates whether mating will take place or not. @currentbiology.bsky.social

Yikes! The second study I've seen recently showing most people are aware of the risk of tick-borne disease... but don't actually take action to protect themselves. (link to research paper in this story) www.cidrap.umn.edu/lyme-disease...

Can interventions both reduce malaria and destabilize vector populations? Study by Tristan Dennis & Mafalda Viana explored this using pyrethroid-pyriproxifen nets. While these nets ⬇️ malaria in Burkina Faso, they had no impact on gene flow in vector population

A long-held myth about a mosquito evolving in the London Underground has been debunked! 🦟
The insect gained notoriety in the Second World War, when it fed on Londoners seeking shelter in the rail tunnels during the Blitz.

Origins of the London Underground mosquito revealed | Natural History Museum
New research reveals that these insects likely evolved in the Mediterranean basin more than 1,000 years ago.
