Mosquitoes use plant sugars and vertebrate blood as nutritional resources. When searching
for blood hosts, some mosquitoes express preferential behavior for selected species. Here …

Haemosporida is a large group of vector‐borne intracellular parasites that infect
amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. This group includes the different malaria …

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

Background Indoor-based anti-vector interventions remain the preferred means of reducing
risk of malaria transmission in malaria endemic areas around the world. Despite …

Highlights•Mosquito vectors can evolve behavioural adaptations in response to vector
control.•Observed behavioural shifts in the field concern biting time/site and bitten host …

Malaria is one of the most serious vector-borne diseases, affecting millions of people mainly
in the tropics. Recently, a substantial decline in malaria incidence has been observed all …

Background The widespread use of indoor-based malaria vector control interventions has
been shown to alter the behaviour of vectors in Africa. There is an increasing concern that …

Blood feeding is a fundamental mosquito behavior with consequences for pathogen
transmission and control. Feeding behavior can be studied through two lenses–patterns and …

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 …

Despite significant reductions in malaria transmission across Africa since 2000, progress is
stalling. This has been attributed to the development of insecticide resistance and …
