Overview

Carlo Costantini is affiliated with the University of Montpellier in France and has contributed extensively to research mainly within the fields of Medicine and Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology. Their work spans several subfields, notably Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health, Molecular Biology, Infectious Diseases, Genetics, and Plant Science.

The main research topics covered by their publications include:

  • Mosquito-borne diseases and control
  • Malaria Research and Control
  • Insect Resistance and Genetics
  • Viral Infections and Vectors
  • Evolution and Genetic Dynamics
  • Genetic diversity and population structure
  • Zoonotic diseases and public health

Costantini's frequent co-authors reflect ongoing collaborations in malaria and vector research and include Diégo Ayala, Nora J. Besansky, Pierre Kengne, Wamdaogo M. Guelbéogo, and Nil Rahola.

They have published multiple papers in several key venues, with Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Parasites & Vectors, and bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory) hosting the majority of their work. Other venues include Genome Research and Annals of Botany.

Selected recent papers illustrating the scope and focus of Costantini's research are:

  • "Genome variation and population structure among 1142 mosquitoes of the African malaria vector species Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles coluzzii" (2020, Genome Research)
  • "Diurnal biting of malaria mosquitoes in the Central African Republic indicates residual transmission may be 'out of control'" (2022, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences)
  • "Variation in seed traits among Mediterranean oaks in Tunisia and their ecological significance" (2020, Annals of Botany)
  • "Standing genetic variation and chromosome differences drove rapid ecotype formation in a major malaria mosquito" (2023, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences)
  • "Ecological plasticity to ions concentration determines genetic response and dominance of Anopheles coluzzii larvae in urban coastal habitats of Central Africa" (2021, Scientific Reports)
