Optimal Control Analysis of Malaria Transmission in the Presence of Insecticide Resistance and Climate Variability in Kenya

Complexity, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Malaria remains a major public health concern in Kenya, where changing climatic conditions, insecticide resistance, and mosquito behavioral adaptations continue to challenge control efforts. This study develops and analyzes a climate‐sensitive malaria transmission model that incorporates mosquito behavior, insecticide resistance, and vector–human ...

Efficient attractants and simple odor-baited sticky trap for surveillance of Anopheles arabiensis Patton mosquito in Ethiopia

Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2016
Introduction: Many efforts have been made to ease the burden of malaria through vector control, among whichis the development of odor-baited traps and evaluation of efficient attractants that could replace host odor.

Spatial Heterogeneity of CYP9K1 Gene Overexpression Driving Cross‐Resistance to Insecticide in Anopheles Mosquitoes Across Sub‐Saharan Africa: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Insecticide resistance in Anopheles mosquitoes poses a growing challenge to malaria elimination efforts across sub‐Saharan Africa, threatening the continued effectiveness of frontline interventions. Among the metabolic mechanisms driving resistance, the cytochrome P450 monooxygenase gene CYP9K1 has been increasingly associated with detoxification and ...

Seasonal abundance, blood meal sources and insecticide susceptibility in major anopheline malaria vectors from southern Mauritania

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Malaria is endemic in the southernmost Sahelian zone of Mauritania where the major known mosquito vector is Anopheles arabiensis. Understanding seasonal population dynamics, feeding preferences and insecticide resistance status of these ...

Advantages and Limitations of Commercially Available Electrocuting Grids for Studying Mosquito Behaviour. [PDF]

, 2013
Mosquito feeding behaviour plays a major role in determining malaria transmission intensity and the impact of specific prevention measures. Human Landing Catch (HLC) is currently the only method that can directly and consistently measure the biting rates

Effect of LongRange™ eprinomectin on Anopheles arabiensis by feeding on calves treated with the drug

Malaria Journal, 2019
Background Misuse of long-lasting insecticidal nets together with resistance of vectors to most of the insecticides for indoor residual spraying and impregnated nets threaten malaria vector control interventions, requiring search for alternative control ...

Combining synthetic human odours and low-cost electrocuting grids to attract and kill outdoor-biting mosquitoes : field and semi-field evaluation of an improved mosquito landing box [PDF]

, 2016
On-going malaria transmission is increasingly mediated by outdoor-biting vectors, especially where indoor insecticidal interventions such as long-lasting insecticide treated nets (LLINs) are widespread.
