Directionally selected cytochrome P450 alleles are driving the spread of pyrethroid resistance in the major malaria vector Anopheles funestus.

• Jacob M Riveron, Helen R Irving, +4 authors Charles S Wondji
• Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences…
• 2013

Pyrethroid insecticides are critical for malaria control in Africa. However, resistance to this insecticide class in the malaria vector Anopheles funestus is spreading rapidly across Africa,… (More)

Contrasting Plasmodium infection rates and insecticide susceptibility profiles between the sympatric sibling species Anopheles parensis and Anopheles funestus s.s: a potential challenge for malaria…

• 2013

Although the An. funestus group conceals one of the major malaria vectors in Africa, little is known about the dynamics of members of this group across the continent. Here, we investigated the… (More)

Gene amplification and microsatellite polymorphism underlie a recent insect host shift.

• Chris Bass, Christoph T. Zimmer, +6 authors Ralf Nauen
• Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences…
• 2013

Host plant shifts of herbivorous insects may be a first step toward sympatric speciation and can create new pests of agriculturally important crops; however, the molecular mechanisms that mediate… (More)

The highly polymorphic CYP6M7 cytochrome P450 gene partners with the directionally selected CYP6P9a and CYP6P9b genes to expand the pyrethroid resistance front in the malaria vector Anopheles…

• Jacob M Riveron, Sulaiman S Ibrahim, +6 authors Charles S Wondji
• BMC Genomics
• 2014

Pyrethroid resistance in the major malaria vector Anopheles funestus is rapidly expanding across Southern Africa. It remains unknown whether this resistance has a unique origin with the same… (More)

A single mutation in the GSTe2 gene allows tracking of metabolically based insecticide resistance in a major malaria vector

• Jacob M Riveron, Cristina Yunta, +8 authors Charles S Wondji
• Genome Biology
• 2013

Metabolic resistance to insecticides is the biggest threat to the continued effectiveness of malaria vector control. However, its underlying molecular basis, crucial for successful resistance… (More)

Positional cloning of rp2 QTL associates the P450 genes CYP6Z1, CYP6Z3 and CYP6M7 with pyrethroid resistance in the malaria vector Anopheles funestus

• Henry C. Irving, Jacob M Riveron, Shaharin Ibrahim, Neil F. Lobo, Christiane Wondji
• Heredity
• 2012

Pyrethroid resistance in Anopheles funestus is threatening malaria control in Africa. Elucidation of underlying resistance mechanisms is crucial to improve the success of future control programs. A… (More)

Widespread Pyrethroid and DDT Resistance in the Major Malaria Vector Anopheles funestus in East Africa Is Driven by Metabolic Resistance Mechanisms

• Charles Mulamba, Jacob M Riveron, +6 authors B. Nigel Brooke
• PloS one
• 2014

BACKGROUND Establishing the extent, geographical distribution and mechanisms of insecticide resistance in malaria vectors is a prerequisite for resistance management. Here, we report a widespread… (More)

Rise of multiple insecticide resistance in Anopheles funestus in Malawi: a major concern for malaria vector control

• Jacob M Riveron, Martin Chiumia, +6 authors Charles S Wondji
• Malaria Journal
• 2015

Deciphering the dynamics and evolution of insecticide resistance in malaria vectors is crucial for successful vector control. This study reports an increase of resistance intensity and a rise of… (More)

The cytochrome P450 CYP6P4 is responsible for the high pyrethroid resistance in knockdown resistance-free Anopheles arabiensis

• Sulaiman S Ibrahim, Jacob M Riveron, Robert Stott, Helen R Irving, Charles S Wondji
• Insect biochemistry and molecular biology
• 2016

Pyrethroid insecticides are the front line vector control tools used in bed nets to reduce malaria transmission and its burden. However, resistance in major vectors such as Anopheles arabiensis is… (More)

Transcriptional basis of the acclimation to high environmental temperature at the olfactory receptor organs of Drosophila melanogaster

• Jacob M Riveron, Tamara Boto, Esther Alcorta
• BMC Genomics
• 2012

Environmental temperature directly affects the concentrations of chemicals in the gas phase. Therefore, if the olfactory system does not physiologically adapt to environmental conditions, it may… (More)
