Household-level and surrounding peri-domestic environmental characteristics associated with malaria vectors Anopheles arabiensis and Anopheles funestus along an urban–rural continuum in Blantyre, Malawi

Malaria Journal, 2018
Background Malaria is increasing in some recently urbanized areas that historically were considered lower risk. Understanding what drives urban transmission is hampered by inconsistencies in how “urban” contexts are defined.

Insecticide resistance in Anopheles arabiensis from Ethiopia (2012–2016): a nationwide study for insecticide resistance monitoring

Malaria Journal, 2017
BackgroundIndoor residual spraying (IRS) and long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) remain the cornerstones of malaria vector control. However, the development of insecticide resistance and its implications for operational failure of preventative ...

Insecticide Resistance inAnopheles arabiensisfrom Ethiopia

African Entomology, 2013
The status of insecticide susceptibility of Anopheles arabiensis populations was monitored in northern and southern Ethiopia using one- to three-day-old mosquitoes reared from larval collections. Anopheles gambiae complex mosquitoes, identified by PCR as An.

Using the human blood index to investigate host biting plasticity: a systematic review and meta-regression of the three major African malaria vectors

Malaria Journal, 2018
Background The proportion of mosquito blood-meals that are of human origin, referred to as the ‘human blood index’ or HBI, is a key determinant of malaria transmission.

Autodissemination of pyriproxyfen suppresses stable populations of Anopheles arabiensis under semi-controlled settings

Malaria Journal, 2019
Autodissemination of pyriproxyfen (PPF), i.e. co-opting adult female mosquitoes to transfer the insect growth regulator, pyriproxyfen (PPF) to their aquatic habitats has been demonstrated for Aedes and Anopheles mosquitoes.

Sequence-based identification of Anopheles species in eastern Ethiopia

Malaria Journal, 2019
Background The recent finding of a typically non-African Anopheles species in eastern Ethiopia emphasizes the need for detailed species identification and characterization for effective malaria vector surveillance.

Co-occurrence of native and invasive malaria vectors in anthropogenic habitats in Metehara, Ethiopia: Opportunities for urban malaria control

Current Research in Parasitology and Vector-Borne Diseases
Local data are essential to understand the threat posed by invasive Anopheles stephensi and native malaria vectors on urban malaria transmission. This study investigated key bioecological features of invasive and native malaria vectors in Metehara town ...
