Study links invasive Anopheles stephensi to a recent outbreak in Ethiopia, worrying scientists.
Outbreaks have been difficult to control in Africa recently because health-care workers and researchers have been focused on the COVID-19 pandemic. From 2019 to 2020, malaria infections in Africa rose 7%, to about 228 million., which is prevalent in southern Asia, could be behind recent malaria surges in eastern Africa.
“This is very important work,” says Seth Irish, a medical entomologist at the World Health Organization in Geneva, Switzerland. The data are especially convincing, says Jaishree Raman, a molecular biologist at the National Institute for Communicable Diseases in Johannesburg, South Africa, because beforearrived, malaria infections had not been common in Dire Dawa. But cases have skyrocketed, from 205 in 2019 to more than 2,400 so far in 2022.
The results suggest that a mosquito, which can pick up malaria parasites from the blood of an infected person and spread them to others nearby, is involved in the outbreak. To pinpoint the exact species, the researchers looked for breeding sites and collected adult mosquitos from around the homes of those included in the study. About 97% of the adult mosquitos collected were, and researchers found more breeding sites around the households of those who had tested positive for malaria.A.
