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 Most malaria vectors belong to species complexes. Sibling species often exhibit
divergent behaviors dictating the measures that can be deployed effectively in their control …

Outdoor biting by anopheline mosquitoes is one of the contributors to residual malaria
transmission, but the profile of vectors driving this phenomenon is not well understood. Here …

Background The widespread use of indoor-based malaria vector control interventions has
been shown to alter the behaviour of vectors in Africa. There is an increasing concern that …

Background To better control malaria, the clear and urgent need is for improved data to
inform decision makers, but in several African countries, there is a lack of baseline data on …

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 …

Background Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying of
insecticide (IRS) are widely recommended for the prevention of malaria in endemic regions …

Abstract Background The Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles funestus mosquito species
complexes are the primary vectors of Plasmodium falciparum malaria in sub-Saharan Africa …

The species composition of indoor and outdoor human-biting Anopheles mosquitoes and
their relative contribution to Plasmodium falciparum transmission were determined for two …
