Dengue is an emerging viral disease principally transmitted by the Aedes (Stegomyia)
aegypti mosquito. It is one of the fastest-growing global infectious diseases, with 100–400 …

▪ Abstract The African mosquito species Anopheles gambiae sensu lato sl and Anopheles
funestus rank among the world's most efficient vectors of human malaria. Their unique …

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 …

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

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

To relate stability of malaria transmission to biologic characteristics of vector mosquitoes
throughout the world, we derived an index representing the contribution of regionally …

Circadian rhythms refer to biologic processes that oscillate with a period of∼ 24 hr. These
rhythms are sustained by a molecular clock and provide a temporal matrix that ensures the …

The incubation period for malaria parasites within the mosquito is exquisitely temperature-
sensitive, so that temperature is a major determinant of malaria risk. Epidemiological models …

Background Pyrethroid insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs) help contribute to reducing
malaria deaths in Africa, but their efficacy is threatened by insecticide resistance in some …

Background High coverage of insecticide-treated bed nets in Asembo and low coverage in
Seme, two adjacent communities in western Nyanza Province, Kenya; followed by …
