The antimalarial efficacy of the most important vector control interventions—long-lasting
insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS)—primarily protect against …

Background Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying of
insecticide (IRS) are widely recommended for the prevention of malaria in endemic regions …

Background Vector control interventions using long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and
indoor residual spraying (IRS) are commonly practiced tools for the control of malaria in …

Assessing the biting behaviour of malaria vectors plays an integral role in understanding the
dynamics of malaria transmission in a region. Biting times and preference for biting indoors …

Abstract Background In Kenya, malaria remains a major public health menace equally
affecting the semi-arid to arid ecologies. However, entomologic knowledge of malaria …

This thesis describes a series of entomological studies designed to assess malaria vector
surveillance in the context of enhanced vector control and altered vectorial system. As …

Insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs) are widely used in Kenya to prevent the mosquitoes,
which can transmit malaria, from biting people at night. However, there is a concern that …

The presence of a suitable and efficient vector is a major determinant of local malaria
transmission intensity. In the last few years, the Mambilla Plateau has witnessed an influx of …

Background: In Kenya, malaria remains a major public health menace equally affecting the
semi-arid to arid ecologies. However, entomologic knowledge of malaria vectors in such …
