Background This is the second in a series of three articles documenting the geographical
distribution of 41 dominant vector species (DVS) of human malaria. The first paper …

Background Over the past decade malaria intervention coverage has been scaled up across
Africa. However, it remains unclear what overall reduction in transmission is achievable …

Background. Behavioral modification of malaria vectors in response to vector control
methods is of great concern. We investigated whether full coverage of long-lasting …

Estimating the changing burden of malaria disease remains difficult owing to limitations in
health reporting systems. Here, we use a transmission model incorporating acquisition and …
