Behavioural plasticity of Anopheles coluzzii and Anopheles arabiensis undermines LLIN community protective effect in a Sudanese-savannah village in Burkina Faso [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2020 Despite the overall major impact of long-lasting insecticide treated nets (LLINs) in eliciting individual and collective protection to malaria infections, some sub-Saharan countries, including Burkina Faso, still carry a disproportionately high share of ...

Anopheles arabiensis larval habitats characterization and Anopheles species diversity in water bodies from Jozini, KwaZulu-Natal Province [PDF]
Malaria JournalBackground The South African government is now implementing winter larviciding as a supplementary vector control tool. To achieve effective larviciding programme there is a need to understand the distribution of the breeding sites of vectors and their ...

Targeting cattle for malaria elimination: marked reduction of Anopheles arabiensis survival for over six months using a slow-release ivermectin implant formulation [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2018 BackgroundMosquitoes that feed on animals can survive and mediate residual transmission of malaria even after most humans have been protected with insecticidal bednets or indoor residual sprays.

Additional selection for insecticide resistance in urban malaria vectors: DDT resistance in Anopheles arabiensis from Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 In the city of Bobo-Dioulasso in Burkina Faso, Anopheles arabiensis has superseded Anopheles gambiae s.s. as the major malaria vector and the larvae are found in highly polluted habitats normally considered unsuitable for Anopheles mosquitoes.

Sweet attraction: sugarcane pollen-associated volatiles attract gravid Anopheles arabiensis [PDF]
Malaria Journal, 2018 Anopheles arabiensis is a key vector for the transmission of human malaria in sub-Saharan Africa. Over the past 10,000 years, humans have successfully cultivated grasses and altered the landscape, creating An.
