Scale-up of the main vector control interventions, residual insecticides sprayed on walls or
structures and/or impregnated in bed nets, together with prompt diagnosis and effective …

Background. Behavioral resilience in mosquitoes poses a significant challenge to mosquito
control. Although behavior changes in anopheline vectors have been reported over the last …

The research and control of malaria has a long history in Papua New Guinea, sometimes
resulting in substantial changes to the distribution of infection and transmission dynamics in …

Background The major malaria vectors of Papua New Guinea exhibit heterogeneities in
distribution, biting behaviour and malaria infection levels. Long-lasting, insecticide-treated …

Background A malaria control programme based on distribution of long-lasting insecticidal
bed nets (LLINs) and artemisinin combination therapy began in Papua New Guinea in 2009 …

Background Despite substantial reductions in malaria burden and improvement in case
management, malaria remains a major public health challenge in the Asia-Pacific region …

Nonrandom selection and multiple blood feeding of human hosts by Anopheles mosquitoes
may exacerbate malaria transmission. Both patterns of blood feeding and their relationship …

Abstract Background Papua New Guinea exhibits a complex malaria epidemiology due to
diversity in malaria parasites, mosquito vectors, human hosts, and their natural environment …

Background Host selection is an important determinant of vectorial capacity because
malaria transmission increases when mosquitoes feed more on humans than non-humans …

Background Malaria has been endemic throughout Papua New Guinea (PNG) with the
exception of highland areas over 1600 m altitude where low temperatures prevent stable …
