The preventive measures against malaria recommended by the WHO include anti-vector
procedures such as indoor residual spraying, the use of long-lasting insecticide-treated bed …

Abstract Although mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) are important disease vectors,
information on their biodiversity in Mauritania is scarce and very dispersed in the literature …

The identification of factors affecting the susceptibility to infectious diseases is essential
toward reducing their burden on the human population. The ABO blood type correlates with …

Background While there is growing recognition of the malaria impacts of large dams in sub-
Saharan Africa, the cumulative malaria impact of reservoirs associated with current and …

While human mobility has important benefits for economic growth, it can generate negative
externalities. This paper studies the effect of mobility on the spread of disease in a low …

Background Dams are important to ensure food security and promote economic
development in sub-Saharan Africa. However, a poor understanding of the negative public …

Background: Mosquito behaviours including the degree to which they bite inside houses or
outside is a crucial determinant of human exposure to malaria. Whilst seasonality in …

Malaria risk is linked inextricably to the hydrological and geomorphological processes that
form vector breeding sites. Yet environmental controls of malaria transmission are often …

The analysis of the spatial and temporal variability of climate parameters is crucial to study
the impact of climate-sensitive vector-borne diseases such as malaria. The use of malaria …

Continental-scale models of malaria climate suitability typically couple well-established
temperature-response models with basic estimates of vector habitat availability using rainfall …
