In recent decades, malaria has become established in zones at the margin of its previous
distribution, especially in the highlands of East Africa. Studies in this region have sparked a …

Background Countries in the southern Africa region have set targets for malaria elimination
between 2020 and 2030. Malaria vector control is among the key strategies being …

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 …

Introduction High coverage of conventional and long-lasting insecticide treated nets (ITNs
and LLINs) in parts of E Africa are associated with reductions in local malaria burdens. Shifts …

Animal behavior can have profound effects on pathogen transmission and disease
incidence. We studied the questing (= host-seeking) behavior of blacklegged tick (Ixodes …

Background The relative roles of climate variability and population related effects in malaria
transmission could be better understood if regional-scale dynamical malaria models could …

Abstract Background The Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles funestus mosquito species
complexes are the primary vectors of Plasmodium falciparum malaria in sub-Saharan Africa …

Anopheles funestus is playing an increasing role in malaria transmission in parts of sub-
Saharan Africa, where An. gambiae ss has been effectively controlled by long-lasting …

Background The majority of the mosquito and parasite life-history traits that combine to
determine malaria transmission intensity are temperature sensitive. In most cases, the …

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