= species name (Anopheles nili) = From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to navigationJump to search General information on Anopheles nili, where it is found- Cameroon specifically. (Reference 2, 6)

[Please note that all information listed is information added by Wesley Fung through anonymous edits on the actual wikipedia page.]

[Include section on the interactions between Anopheles nili and its neighboring species. As well as feeding habits. Reference 9, 10]

Life Cycle[edit]
"For more information, see mosquito life cycle."Similar to all mosquitoes, Anopheles nili go through a life stages of egg, larva, pupa, then emerge as adults.

[Will fill out more information regarding the specifics Anopheles nili, in regards to what kind of environments they will spawn in. Specifically near important dams developed in the vicinity of villages in need of water sources. Reference 1, 5]

As Malaria Carriers/Disease Vector[edit]
Dam development in Cameroon marks itself as a grave detriment to native populations health, through the spread of malaria. Dam developments in particular, as mass environmental changes alter the balance of disease hosts, vectors, and parasite development. It was found in studies dating back to 1979, where native mosquitoes favoured dams as breeding grounds; and thus ripe for malaria breakouts.

[Talk about how studies have been made regarding malarial parasites in the midguts of Anopheles nili. Reference 8]

[Go more into detail regarding gene structure of the mosquito to understand its interactions with malaria. Reference 4]

[Reroute information, like in the life cycle section, onto environmental/climate change to talk about how it affects mosquito/disease migration. Reference 7]
