Background This is the second in a series of three articles documenting the geographical
distribution of 41 dominant vector species (DVS) of human malaria. The first paper …

Background A warm and humid climate triggers several water-associated diseases such as
malaria. Climate-or weather-driven malaria models, therefore, allow for a better …

The parasites that cause malaria depend on Anopheles mosquitoes for transmission;
because of this, mosquito population dynamics are a key determinant of malaria risk …

Background Intensive anti-malaria campaigns targeting the Anopheles population have
demonstrated substantial reductions in adult mosquito density. Understanding the …

Abstract In December 2006, Rift Valley fever (RVF) was diagnosed in humans in Garissa
Hospital, Kenya and an outbreak reported affecting 11 districts. Entomologic surveillance …

Water temperature is an important determinant in many aquatic biological processes,
including the growth and development of malaria mosquito (Anopheles arabiensis and A …

Background The incidence of malaria in the Amazon is seasonal and mosquito vectorial
capacity parameters, including abundance and longevity, depend on quantitative and …

Background African highlands were known to be free of malaria for the past 50 years.
However, the ever growing human population in the highlands of Africa has led to the …

Background Larval control is of paramount importance in the reduction of malaria vector
abundance and subsequent disease transmission reduction. Understanding larval habitat …

Mosquito oviposition site selection is essential for vector population dynamics and malaria
epidemiology. Irrigated rice cultivations provide ideal larval habitats for malaria mosquitoes …
