A low-cost repellent for malaria vectors in the Americas: results of two field trials in Guatemala and Peru [PDF]

, 2007
Background: The cost of mosquito repellents in Latin America has discouraged their wider use among the poor. To address this problem, a low-cost repellent was developed that reduces the level of expensive repellent actives by combining them with ...

Behavior and population structure of Anopheles darlingi in Colombia

Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2016
Anopheles darlingi is a widely distributed and important malaria vector in Colombia. Biogeographical and ecological heterogeneity across the Colombian distribution led to the hypothesis of behavioral and genetic differentiation among A. darlingi populations. A total of 2017 A. darlingi specimens were collected during 222 h of sampling.
