Movement of malaria across international borders poses a major obstacle to achieving
malaria elimination in the 34 countries that have committed to this goal. In border areas …

As countries move toward malaria elimination, imported infections become increasingly
significant as they often represent the majority of cases, can sustain transmission, cause …

Globally, malaria cases have drastically dropped in recent years. However, a high incidence
of malaria remains in some sub-Saharan African countries. South Africa is mostly malaria …

Background With a sustained national malaria incidence of fewer than one case per 1000
population at risk, in 2012 South Africa officially transitioned from controlling malaria to the …

Locally specific epidemiological understanding is pivotal to the success of malaria
elimination in South Africa. Here, we focus on how the host, vector, parasite and …

Background Increasing insecticide costs and constrained malaria budgets could make
universal vector control strategies, such as indoor residual spraying (IRS), unsustainable in …

In this study, gills and muscles tissue samples from 30 specimens of P. commersonnii and
22 specimens of M. cephalus obtained from Swartkops and Sundays River Estuaries …

Malaria vector control is primarily insecticide based and relies on indoor residual spraying
(IRS) and the distribution of long-lasting insecticide-treated bednets (LLINs). These …

Evolutionary hypotheses generally agree that ochre played a role in the adaptive strategies
of Homo sapiens, but they differ widely in the functions they assign to it. Red ochre features …

Background Malaria vector control using insecticide-based approaches has proven to be an
effective strategy. However, widespread insecticide resistance among malaria vector …
