Background Malaria is an important public health problem in northern Sudan, but little is
known about the dynamics of its transmission. Given the characteristic low densities of …

Background Ideally larval control activities should be targeted at sites that generate the most
adult vectors, thereby reducing operational costs. Despite the plethora of potential mosquito …

Abstract Introduction By 2030, more than 50% of the African population will live in urban
areas. Controlling malaria reduces the disease burden and further improves economic …

Background In order to be able to design and implement control measures directed to the
mosquito larva stages an understanding of the spatial and temporal distribution and its …

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 Knowledge of some baseline entomological data such as Entomological
Inoculation Rates (EIR) is crucially needed to assess the epidemiological impact of malaria …

We examined the distribution of aquatic stages of malaria vectors in a 400-km2 area in rural
Gambia to assess the practicality of targeting larval control. During the rainy season, the …

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 rapid and unplanned urbanization of African cities is considered to
increase the risk of urban malaria transmission. The present study objective was to assess …

Background Mosquito larval source management (LSM) is likely to be more effective when
adequate information such as dominant species, seasonal abundance, type of productive …
