To investigate the impact of urban agriculture on malaria transmission risk in urban Accra
larval and adult stage mosquito surveys, were performed. Local transmission was implicated …

To verify the possible impact of irrigated urban agriculture on malaria transmission in cities,
we studied entomological parameters, self-reported malaria episodes, and household-level …

Background & objectives: The patterns of annual rainfall as well as average daily
temperature have not changed drastically in the study area since 1960 when detailed …

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

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 …

In Africa, malaria is predominantly a rural disease where agriculture forms the backbone of
the economy. Various agro-ecosystems and crop production systems have an impact on …

Background Urbanization has a great impact on the composition of the vector system and
malaria transmission dynamics. In Dakar, some malaria cases are autochthonous but …

Knowledge of the baseline malaria transmission in a given environment is important to
guide malaria control interventions. However, in Uganda, recent information on malaria …

Background Understanding the blood feeding preferences and resting habits of malaria
vectors is important for assessing and designing effective malaria vector control tools. The …

The dispersion of Anopheles gambiae Giles sl from larval breeding places was examined in
the towns of Yaounde and Edea, Cameroon. The study areas are characterized by hilly …
