Is wind spreading urban malaria? PNASNews pnas PNAS malaria urban urbanmalaria
By Pooja Toshniwal PahariaMay 10 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent opinion article published in PNAS, researchers reviewed existing data on Anopheles stephensi population establishment patterns in Africa and Asia and proposed that the wind may facilitate mosquito transmission over long distances.
About the opinion In the present opinion, researchers presented data on the wind-borne transmission of Anopheles stephensi to urban regions of Africa and Asia. Nevertheless, juvenile An. stephensi can also survive in stagnant freshwater and transmit to different ports via marine transit. The spatiotemporal pattern of Anopheles stephensi range expansion into Asian, Arabian, and African regions is contrasting with the massive transmission of Aedes albopictus by the marine route.
Implying transmission of An. stephensi from the southwestern Arabian Peninsula regions by the wind. Up to half of Mali's mosquitoes, including the malaria-causing Anopheles species, transmit at high altitudes by the wind, especially from southeast Asia.
