The most important malaria vectors in sub-Saharan Africa are Anopheles gambiae,
Anopheles arabiensis, Anopheles funestus, and Anopheles coluzzii. Of these, An. funestus …

Background In rural south-eastern Tanzania, Anopheles funestus is a major malaria vector,
and has been implicated in nearly 90% of all infective bites. Unfortunately, little is known …

Anopheles funestus is playing an increasing role in malaria transmission in parts of sub-
Saharan Africa, where An. gambiae ss has been effectively controlled by long-lasting …

Abstract Background Malaria transmission in Africa is facilitated by multiple species of
Anopheles mosquitoes. These vectors have different behaviors and vectorial capacities and …

Background The scaling up of malaria vector control efforts in Africa has resulted in
changing the malaria vectorial systems across different ecological settings. In view of the …

Background The ecology of malaria vectors particularly in semi-arid areas of Africa is poorly
understood. Accurate knowledge on this subject will boost current efforts to reduce the …

Background In order to sustain the gains achieved by current malaria control strategies,
robust surveillance systems that monitor dynamics of vectors and their roles in malaria …

Control of aquatic‐stage Anopheles is one of the oldest and most historically successful
interventions to prevent malaria, but it has seen little application in Africa. Consequently, the …

Abstract Background The malaria vector Anopheles funestus is increasingly recognized as a
dominant vector of residual transmission in many African settings. Efforts to better …

Abstract Background In south-eastern Tanzania where insecticide-treated nets have been
widely used for> 20 years, malaria transmission has greatly reduced but remains highly …
