Study reveals genetic evolution of major malaria vector species in South America Anopheles darlingi mosquitoes-a major vector of malaria in South America-are evolving in response to insecticides, which may make them harder to kill and malaria more difficult to control, according to a new study led by Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. The study will be published March 26, 2026, in Science. It is the first study to sequence a large number (>1000) of complete genomes of Anopheles mosquitoes in the Americas, where there are more than 600,000 cases of malaria annually, mostly in Brazil, Colombia, and Venezuela. Malaria remains stubbornly persistent in South America, and there is a risk that dangerous drug-resistant strains of the malaria parasite could evolve in the Americas and then spread elsewhere. Our study plays a major role in revealing the evolutionary dynamics of a primary malaria vector, providing new insights into Anopheles darlingi biology that could help improve methods for blocking disease transmission." Jacob Tennessen, corresponding author, research scientist, Department of Immunology and Infectious Diseases Prior studies on Anopheles darlingi population genetics have used sets of genetic markers but not the whole genome. For this study, the researchers generated whole genome sequences for 1,094 adult female Anopheles darlingi mosquitoes from 16 locations-including forests, wetlands,...

Mosquitoes that spread malaria are evolving to survive insecticides A tiny insect is quietly changing the way a deadly disease spreads. Scientists have now found that a common malaria mosquito in South America is adapting in ways that could make it harder to control. Malaria is a serious disease that affects millions of people around the world each year. In South America, the disease continues to spread, with more than 600,000 cases reported every year. Countries like Brazil, Colombia, and Venezuela see the highest numbers. The biggest spreader of malaria The main mosquito responsible for spreading malaria in this region is called Anopheles darlingi. When this mosquito bites an infected person, it can carry the parasite and pass it to someone else. Because of this, controlling this mosquito is one of the most important steps in reducing malaria cases. Researchers from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health carried out a major study to understand this mosquito better. The research team collected more than 1,000 mosquitoes from 16 locations across six countries, including Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, and French Guiana. These locations included forests, wetlands, farms, mining areas, and cities. By studying mosquitoes from many different environments, the researchers could see how this species behaves across South America...
