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 Ideally larval control activities should be targeted at sites that generate the most
adult vectors, thereby reducing operational costs. Despite the plethora of potential mosquito …

Accurate quantification of land use/cover change (LULCC) is important for efficient
environmental management, especially in regions that are extremely affected by climate …

Clarifying the role of sulfate and dissolved oxygen (DO) in methane production may allow for
precise and accurate modeling of methane emissions in eutrophic lakes. We conducted field …

Documented information on the ecology of larval habitats in Botswana is lacking but is
critical for larval control programs. Therefore, this study determined the characteristics of …

Abstract Background Anopheles arabiensis (Diptera: Culicidae) is a potential malaria vector
commonly present at low altitudes in remote areas in Reunion Island. Little attention has …

Background In order to be able to design and implement control measures directed to the
mosquito larva stages an understanding of the spatial and temporal distribution and its …

Human malarial protozoa are transmitted by mosquitoes of the genus Anopheles. There are
465 formally recognised species and more than 50 unnamed members of species …

Aquatic larval habitat conditions influence the development, fitness and vectorial capacity of
mosquitoes. In turn, human activities can influence these conditions and shape mosquito …

Background Malaria mosquitoes spend a considerable part of their life in the aquatic stage,
rendering them vulnerable to interventions directed to aquatic habitats. Recent successes of …
