Background Malaria and lymphatic filariasis (LF) are diseases of great public health
important in East Africa. Malaria is transmitted by Anopheles while LF is transmitted by both …

The attractiveness of oviposition site for malaria vector mosquitoes is dependent upon a
number of physical and chemical factors. Many aspects of mosquito behavior, including host …

Among all the malaria controlling measures, biological control of mosquito larvae may be
the cheapest and easiest to implement. This study investigated baseline predation of …

Documented information on the ecology of larval habitats in Botswana is lacking but is
critical for larval control programs. Therefore, this study determined the characteristics of …

Background The non-random distribution of anopheline larvae in natural habitats suggests
that gravid females discriminate between habitats of different quality. Whilst physical and …

Background Mosquito larval source management (LSM) is likely to be more effective when
adequate information such as dominant species, seasonal abundance, type of productive …

Effective larviciding for malaria control requires detailed studies of larvicide efficacies,
aquatic habitat characteristics, and life history traits of target vectors. Mosquitoes with brief …

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 The rise of insecticide resistance against malaria vectors in sub-Saharan Africa
has resulted in the need to consider other methods of vector control. The potential use of …

Background Anopheles mosquitoes are the main malaria vector and as malaria cases
decline in Sub Saharan Africa, there is a growing realisation that new interventions need to …
