Abstract Prior to 1965, Singapore was part of the Malaya (now Malaysia) and was usually not mentioned when mosquito records were reported for Malaya. Consequently, many species that occurred in Singapore were not listed in the world mosquito catalog, and the available checklist for Singapore since 1986 is incomplete, with some imprecise species information. In updating this checklist, we examined and verified mosquito specimens collected from Singapore in various depositories, including a…

Culex vishnui (Diptera: Culicidae): An Overlooked Vector of Arboviruses in South-East Asia.
TLDR
Being zoo- and anthropophagic, omnipresent in the Oriental region, and presenting strong resistance to many insecticide families, this overlooked mosquito species may pose a serious health risk in one of the most densely populated regions of the world.

Survey study on mosquito (Diptera: Culicidae) in Amant Al-Asimah (Sana’a city)- Yemen
TLDR
The common mosquito species in Amant Al-Asimah (Sana’a city) – Yemen, during the period from August 2018 to April 2019 was found to be Culisetalongiareolata and Culexpipiens.
Detection of Japanese Encephalitis Virus in Culex Mosquitoes in Singapore
TLDR
A One Health approach involving surveillance, the collaboration between public health and wildlife managers, and control of mosquito populations remains the key measures in risk mitigation of JEV transmission in the enzootic cycle between birds and mosquitoes.
Prevalence of simian malaria parasites in macaques of Singapore
TLDR
The study revealed that Singapore’s wild long-tailed macaques are natural hosts of the five simian malaria parasite species, while no malaria was detected in all peridomestic macaques tested, and the risk of Simian malaria transmission to the general human population is concluded to be low.
Wolbachia infection in wild mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae): implications for transmission modes and host-endosymbiont associations in Singapore
TLDR
The results suggest that the mosquito- Wolbachia relationship is complex and that combinations of transmission modes and multiple evolutionary events likely explain the observed distribution of Wolbachian diversity across mosquito hosts.
Mosquito identification and haemosporidian parasites detection in the enclosure of the African penguins (Spheniscus demersus) at the SANBI zoological garden
Implementation of geographical information systems for the study of diseases caused by vector-borne arboviruses in Southeast Asia: A review based on the publication record.
TLDR
The results presented should improve opportunities for future studies on the implementation of GIS in the control of mosquito-borne viral diseases in Southeast Asia, and the need to improve decision-support by disease mapping and management is found.
Morphology and mini‐barcodes: The inclusion of larval sampling and NGS‐based barcoding improves robustness of ecological analyses of mosquito communities

The Phylogeny and Classification of Anopheles
TLDR
Anopheles was introduced as a genus of mosquitoes in 1818 by Johann Wilhelm Meigen but little was done on the taxonomy of Anopheles until the discovery during the last two decades of the 19th century that mosquitoes transmit microfilariae and malarial protozoa, which initiated a drive to collect, name and classify these insects.
