Background High coverage of personal protection measures that kill mosquitoes
dramatically reduce malaria transmission where vector populations depend upon human
blood. However, most primary malaria vectors outside of sub-Saharan Africa can be
classified as “very zoophagic,” meaning they feed occasionally (< 10% of blood meals) upon
humans, so personal protection interventions have negligible impact upon their survival.
