Most malaria infections in sub-Saharan Africa are acquired indoors, thus finding effective
ways of preventing mosquito house entry should reduce transmission. Since most malaria …

Abstract Background In sub-Saharan Africa, house design and ventilation affects the number
of malaria mosquito vectors entering houses. This study hypothesized that indoor light from …

Abstract In The Gambia, metal-roof houses were hotter during the day than thatched-roof
houses. After 24 h, the mortality of Anopheles gambiae, the principal African malaria vector …

Background In the pre-intervention year of a randomized controlled trial investigating the
protective effects of house screening against malaria-transmitting vectors, a multi-factorial …

Introduction Unprecedented improvements in housing are occurring across much of rural
sub-Saharan Africa, but the consequences of these changes on malaria transmission …

House design may affect an individual's exposure to malaria parasites, and hence to
disease. We conducted a randomized‐controlled study using experimental huts in rural …

Background Good house construction may reduce the risk of malaria by limiting the entry of
mosquito vectors. We assessed how house design may affect mosquito house entry and …

Background This study evaluated the effectiveness of improved housing on indoor residual
mosquito density and exposure to infected Anophelines in Minkoameyos, a rural community …

Rural houses in sub-Saharan Africa are typically hot and allow malaria mosquitoes inside.
We assessed whether passive or active ventilation can reduce house entry of malaria …

Abstract Background Malaria transmission in Africa occurs predominantly inside houses
where the primary vectors prefer to feed. Human preference and investment in blocking of …
