The need for evidence-based data, to inform policy decisions on malaria vector control
interventions in Nigeria, necessitated the establishment of mosquito surveillance sites in a …

Malaria is a major infectious disease that still affects nearly half of the world's population.
Information on spatial distribution of malaria vector species is needed to improve malaria …

Background Suitability of environmental conditions determines a species distribution in
space and time. Understanding and modelling the ecological niche of mosquito disease …

Variations in the biology and ecology and the high level of genetic polymorphism of malaria
vectors in Africa highlight the value of mapping their spatial distribution to enhance …

Background Malaria transmission rates in Africa can vary dramatically over the space of a
few kilometres. This spatial heterogeneity reflects variation in vector mosquito habitat and …

Members of the Anopheles gambiae complex are major malaria vectors in Africa. We tested
the hypothesis that the range and relative abundance of the two major vectors in the …

Background The future distribution of malaria in Africa is likely to be much more dependent
on environmental conditions than the current distribution due to the effectiveness of indoor …

The distribution of malaria vector mosquitoes, especially those belonging to species
complexes that contain non-vector species, is important for strategic planning of malaria …

Background Anopheles arabiensis is a particularly opportunistic feeder and efficient vector
of Plasmodium falciparum in Africa and may invade areas outside its normal range …

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