Malaria vector control targeting the larval stages of mosquitoes was applied successfully
against many species of Anopheles (Diptera: Culicidae) in malarious countries until the mid …

Genetic modification (GM) of mosquitoes (which renders them genetically modified
organisms, GMOs) offers opportunities for controlling malaria. Transgenic strains of …

Background Mosquito larval control may prove to be an effective tool for incorporating into
integrated vector management (IVM) strategies for reducing malaria transmission. Here the …

Methods Aquatic habitats were sampled by use of standard dipping technique. The habitats
were characterised based on size, pH, distance to the nearest house, coverage of canopy …

Background Half of the population of Africa will soon live in towns and cities where it can be
protected from malaria by controlling aquatic stages of mosquitoes. Rigorous but affordable …

Introduction of irrigation projects in developing nations has often been blamed for
aggravating the problem of mosquito-borne diseases by creating ideal larval habitats for …

Background The environmental conditions experienced by parents are increasingly
recognized to impact the success of offspring. Little is known on the presence of such …

At six sites in western Kenya, we explored the presence of Anopheles immature stages in
treeholes. An. gambiae larvae were found in 19 species, 13 of which are exotic. The most …

Background We examined algorithms for malaria mapping using the impact of reflectance
calibration uncertainties on the accuracies of three vegetation indices (VI)'s derived from …

A 12-mo ecological study of the spatial-temporal distribution of immature stages of
Anopheles species was conducted in Sukabumi District, West Java, Indonesia. The study …
