Title: First detection of Anopheles stephensi Liston, 1901 (Diptera: culicidae) in Ethiopia using molecular and morphological approaches
Author: Janies, Daniel, Lopez, Karen
Date Created: 2018
Subjects--Topical: Communicable diseases, Malaria
Description: Malaria is a major public health concern in Ethiopia. With the increase in malaria cases in the Somali Region of Ethiopia, understanding the distribution and identifying the species of malaria vectors is vital to public health. Here we report the ...

Title: Frequent expansion of Plasmodium vivax Duffy Binding Protein in Ethiopia and its epidemiological significance
Author: Janies, Daniel, Lo, Eugenia, Kepple, Daniel
Date Created: 2019
Subjects--Topical: Communicable diseases, Malaria
Description: Plasmodium vivax invasion of human erythrocytes depends on the Duffy Binding Protein (PvDBP) which interacts with the Duffy antigen. PvDBP copy number has been recently shown to vary between P. vivax isolates in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, the ex...

Title: Genetic diversity of Anopheles stephensi in Ethiopia provides insight into patterns of spread
Author: Janies, Daniel, Lopez, Karen
Date Created: 2021
Subjects--Topical: Communicable diseases, Malaria
Description: Background: The recent detection of the South Asian malaria vector Anopheles stephensi in the Horn of Africa (HOA) raises concerns about the impact of this mosquito on malaria transmission in the region. Analysis of An. stephensi genetic diversity...

Title: Geographical distribution of Anopheles stephensi in eastern Ethiopia
Author: Janies, Daniel, Lopez, Karen
Date Created: 2020
Subjects--Topical: Communicable diseases, Malaria
Description: Background The recent detection of the South Asian malaria vector Anopheles stephensi in Ethiopia and other regions in the Horn of Africa has raised concerns about its potential impact on malaria transmission. We report here the findings of a surv...

Title: Implementing landscape genetics in molecular epidemiology to determine drivers of vector‐borne disease : a malaria case study
Author: Lo, Eugenia, Janies, Daneil, Hubbard, Alfred, Afrane, Yaw
Date Created: 2023
Subjects--Topical: Malaria, Protozoan diseases
Description: This study employs landscape genetics to investigate the environmental drivers of a deadly vector-borne disease, malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum, in a more spatially comprehensive manner than any previous work. With 1804 samples from 44 si...

Title: Insecticide resistance in Anopheles stephensi in Somali Region, eastern Ethiopia
Author: Janies, Daniel, Lopez, Karen
Date Created: 2020
Subjects--Topical: Communicable diseases, Malaria
Description: Background The movement of malaria vectors into new areas is a growing concern in the efforts to control malaria. The recent report of Anopheles stephensi in eastern Ethiopia has raised the necessity to understand the insecticide resistance status...

Title: Selection and utility of single nucleotide polymorphism markers to reveal fine-scale population structure in human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum
Author: Janies, Daniel, Lo, Eugenia, Ford, Anthony
Date Created: 2018
Subjects--Topical: Communicable diseases, Malaria
Description: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been shown to be useful in revealing population structure with continental-and regional-scale samples. In epidemiological study, a careful selection of SNPs to track disease spread in local communities w...

Title: Sequence-based identification of Anopheles species in eastern Ethiopia
Author: Janies, Daniel, Lopez, Karen
Date Created: 2019
Subjects--Topical: Communicable diseases, Malaria
Description: Background: The recent finding of a typically non-African Anopheles species in eastern Ethiopia emphasizes the need for detailed species identification and characterization for effective malaria vector surveillance. Molecular approaches increase t...

Title: Submicroscopic infection and G6PD deficiency in malaria patients
Author: Witherspoon, Logan, Witherspoon, Logan, Kepple, Daniel, Lo, Eugenia, Abagero, Beka
Date Created: 2022, 2022, 2022
Subjects--Topical: Malaria, Public health
Description: Plasmodium vivax malaria is a neglected tropical disease, despite being more geographically widespread than any other form of malaria. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is a cytosolic enzyme with a vital role for the integrity and functioni...

Title: Whole genome sequencing of Plasmodium vivax isolates reveals frequent sequence and structural polymorphisms in erythrocyte binding genes
Author: Janies, Daniel, Lo, Eugenia, Ford, Anthony, Kepple, Daniel
Date Created: 2020
Subjects--Topical: Communicable diseases, Malaria
Description: Plasmodium vivax malaria is much less common in Africa than the rest of the world because the parasite relies primarily on the Duffy antigen/chemokine receptor (DARC) to invade human erythrocytes, and the majority of Africans are Duffy negative. R...
