Malaria-eliminating countries achieved remarkable success in reducing their malaria
burdens between 2000 and 2010. As a result, the epidemiology of malaria in these settings …

Background The global malaria burden has fallen since 2000, sometimes before large-scale
vector control programmes were initiated. While long-lasting insecticide-treated nets and …

Abstract Background Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS)
represent the front-line tools for malaria vector control globally, but are optimally effective …

Vector-borne disease is one of the greatest contributors to human mortality and morbidity
throughout the tropics. Mosquito-transmitted diseases such as malaria, dengue, yellow fever …

International public health workers are challenged by a burden of arthropod-borne disease
that remains elevated despite best efforts in control programmes. With this challenge comes …

Housing is a cross-cutting issue that is crucial to achieving several of the Sustainable
Development Goals. Earthen housing is found across the globe, particularly in developing …

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 Unrestricted use of pesticides in agriculture is likely to increase insecticide
resistance in mosquito vectors. Unfortunately, strategies for managing insecticide resistance …

Background Besides significantly reducing malaria vector densities, prolonged usage of bed
nets has been linked to decline of Anopheles gambiae ss relative to Anopheles arabiensis …

Rift Valley fever (RVF) is an important neglected, emerging, mosquito-borne disease with
severe negative impact on human and animal health. Mosquitoes in the Aedes genus have …
