Insects exhibit diverse resource-exploitation strategies, including predation, herbivory and
parasitism. The ecological and evolutionary factors that influence the resource selection of …

Gene drive technology offers the promise for a high-impact, cost-effective, and durable
method to control malaria transmission that would make a significant contribution to …

Background Disease transmitting mosquitoes locate humans and other blood hosts by
identifying their characteristic odor profiles. Using their olfactory organs, the mosquitoes …

Long-lasting insecticidal bed nets (LLINs) protect humans from malaria transmission and are
fundamental to malaria control worldwide, but little is known of how mosquitoes interact with …

Malaria transmission has been substantially reduced across Africa through the distribution of
long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs). However, the emergence of insecticide resistance …

Background Long-lasting insecticide-treated nets and indoor residual spraying protect
against indoor-biting and indoor-resting mosquitoes but are largely ineffective for early …

Background: Programmatic monitoring of insecticide resistance in disease vectors is mostly
done on a large scale, often focusing on differences between districts, regions or countries …

Background The human landing catch (HLC) method, in which human volunteers collect
mosquitoes that land on them before they can bite, is used to quantify human exposure to …

Background Vapour phase spatial repellents deter mosquitoes from attacking one or more
humans in a protected space. Simulation models indicate that high coverage of spatial …
