Since the implementation of Roll Back Malaria, the widespread use of insecticide-treated
nets (ITNs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) is thought to have played a major part in the …

Background Integrated vector management (IVM) is recommended as a sustainable
approach to malaria control. IVM consists of combining vector control methods based on …

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 20 years, numerous studies have investigated the ecology and
behaviour of malaria vectors and Plasmodium falciparum malaria transmission on the coast …

Background In order to sustain the gains achieved by current malaria control strategies,
robust surveillance systems that monitor dynamics of vectors and their roles in malaria …

Abstract Background The communities of Namawala and Idete villages in southern
Tanzania experienced extremely high malaria transmission in the 1990s. By 2001-03 …

Gut microbial communities of mosquitoes can influence vector susceptibility to pathogens,
yet the factors that govern their composition remain poorly understood. We investigated the …

Background Increases in the coverage of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) have
significantly reduced the abundance of Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto in several African …

Background The scaling up of malaria vector control efforts in Africa has resulted in
changing the malaria vectorial systems across different ecological settings. In view of the …

Anopheles arabiensis mosquitoes are the primary vector responsible for Plasmodium
falciparum transmission in Macha, Zambia. Because insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs) …
