Objective Even when initially successful, many interventions aimed at reducing the toll of
water-related infectious disease have not been sustainable over longer periods of time …

Mapping and anticipating risk is a major issue in the fight against malaria, a disease causing
an estimated one million deaths each year. Approximately half the world's population is at …

Background Successful malaria vector control depends on understanding behavioural
interactions between mosquitoes and humans, which are highly setting-specific and may …

In West Africa, lineage splitting between the M and S molecular forms of the major Afro‐
tropical malaria mosquito, Anopheles gambiae (Diptera: Culicidae), is thought to be driven …

Spatial and temporal variations in the distribution of anopheline larval habitats and land use
and land cover (LULC) changes can influence malaria transmission intensity. This …

Background Integrated vector management (IVM) for malaria control requires ecological
skills that are very scarce and rarely applied in Africa today. Partnerships between …

Abstract Background The United Nations forecasts that by 2050, more than 60% of the
African population will live in cities. Thus, urban malaria is considered an important …

In this chapter, we offer a brief introduction to the main concepts associated with Land Use
Cover (LUC) mapping, Land Use Cover Change (LUCC) modelling and the uncertainty and …

We examined the survivorship of Anopheles gambiae sl Giles (Diptera: Culicidae) larvae
and habitat productivity in three major habitat types in the western Kenya highlands. The …

Irrigation for rice cultivation increases the production of Anopheles gambiae, the main vector
of malaria in Mali. Mosquito abundance is highly variable across villages and seasons. We …
