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

Lymphatic filariasis (LF) is a debilitating disease caused by Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia
malayi and B. timori parasitic worms and transmitted by Culex, Anopheles, Aedes and …

Background New strategies are needed to manage malaria vector populations that resist
insecticides and bite outdoors. This study describes a breakthrough in developing 'attract …

Background Cedrol, a sesquiterpene alcohol, is the first identified oviposition attractant for
African malaria vectors. Finding the natural source of this compound might help to elucidate …

BG-Malaria (BGM) trap is a simple adaptation of the widely-used BG-Sentinel trap (BGS). It
is proven to be highly effective for trapping the Brazilian malaria vector, Anopheles darlingi …

Background Novel malaria vector control approaches aim to combine tools for maximum
protection. This study aimed to evaluate novel and re-evaluate existing putative repellent …

A better understanding of the oviposition behaviour of malaria vectors might facilitate the
development of new vector control tools. However, the factors that guide the aquatic habitat …

Background Olfactory cues have been shown to have an important role in guiding gravid
mosquito females to selected sites for egg laying. The objective of this study was to …

Background Understanding the ecology and behaviour of disease vectors, including the
olfactory cues used to orient and select hosts and egg-laying sites, are essential for the …

An important aspect of understanding how plants effect their environment is the study of
volatile compounds and how these influence interactions between plants and other living …
