Larval control of Anopheles mosquitoes has long been neglected in tropical Africa due to
uncertainties about its impacts on incidence and prevalence of malaria. Population models …

Environmental management of mosquito resources is a promising approach with which to
control malaria, but it has seen little application in Africa for more than half a century. Here …

Interest in environmental management of mosquito larval habitats has been rekindled due to
deterioration of malaria in tropical Africa. Environmental management programs were …

Background The impact of weather and climate on malaria transmission has attracted
considerable attention in recent years, yet uncertainties around future disease trends under …

Traditional environmental management programmes require extensive coverage of larval
habitats to reduce drastically the emergence of adult mosquitoes. Recent studies have …

Background Intensive anti-malaria campaigns targeting the Anopheles population have
demonstrated substantial reductions in adult mosquito density. Understanding the …

Background Malaria is a major public health issue in much of the world, and the mosquito
vectors which drive transmission are key targets for interventions. Mathematical models for …

Background The modeling of malaria vector mosquito populations yields great insight into
drivers of malaria transmission at the village scale. Simulation of individual mosquitoes as …

Background Mosquitoes commute between blood-meal hosts and water. Thus,
heterogeneity in human biting reflects underlying spatial heterogeneity in the distribution …

Background As the ecology of mosquito larvae can be complex there is need to develop a
rational framework for undertaking larval ecological studies. Local environmental …
