Changes in contributions of different Anopheles vector species to malaria transmission in east and southern Africa from 2000 to 2022
Abstract Background Malaria transmission in Africa is facilitated by multiple species of
Anopheles mosquitoes. These vectors have different behaviors and vectorial capacities and …

Human–mosquito contact: a missing link in our understanding of mosquito-borne disease transmission dynamics
Despite the critical role that contact between hosts and vectors, through vector bites, plays in
driving vector-borne disease (VBD) transmission, transmission risk is primarily studied …

Understanding the gap between access and use: a qualitative study on barriers and facilitators to insecticide-treated net use in Ghana
Background Mass and continuous distribution channels have significantly increased access
to insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) in Ghana since 2000. Despite these gains, a large gap …

Human behaviour and residual malaria transmission in Zanzibar: findings from in-depth interviews and direct observation of community events
Background Zanzibar has maintained malaria prevalence below 1% for the past decade, yet
elimination remains elusive despite high coverage of core vector control interventions. As …

Methods and indicators for measuring patterns of human exposure to malaria vectors
Background Effective targeting and evaluation of interventions that protect against adult
malaria vectors requires an understanding of how gaps in personal protection arise. An …

What Africa can do to accelerate and sustain progress against malaria
After a longstanding global presence, malaria is now largely non-existent or suppressed in
most parts of the world. Today, cases and deaths are primarily concentrated in sub-Saharan …

The fabric of life: what if mosquito nets were durable and widely available but insecticide-free?
F Okumu - Malaria Journal, 2020 - Springer
Background Bed nets are the commonest malaria prevention tool and arguably the most
cost-effective. Their efficacy is because they prevent mosquito bites (a function of physical …
