Background Malaria mosquitoes spend a considerable part of their life in the aquatic stage,
rendering them vulnerable to interventions directed to aquatic habitats. Recent successes of …

Abstract Background In western Kenya, malaria remains one of the major health problems
and its control remains an important public health measure. Malaria control is by either use …

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 …

Background The development and implementation of innovative vector control strategies for
malaria control in Africa requires in-depth ecological studies in contained semi-field …

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 …

Effective larviciding for malaria control requires detailed studies of larvicide efficacies,
aquatic habitat characteristics, and life history traits of target vectors. Mosquitoes with brief …

Background Control of mosquitoes that transmit malaria has been the mainstay in the fight
against the disease, but alternative methods are required in view of emerging insecticide …

Background Biological control methods are once again being given much research focus for
malaria vector control. This is largely due to the emerging threat of strong resistance to …

Mosquitoes and the diseases they transmit are a global public health threat that affects most
human populations. Mosquito abundances are strongly linked to the number of suitable …

Among all the malaria controlling measures, biological control of mosquito larvae may be
the cheapest and easiest to implement. This study investigated baseline predation of …
