A survey of indoor and outdoor Anopheles density, species composition and circumsporozoite rate of malaria vectors on the Bijagós Archipelago, Guinea-Bissau

Malaria Journal
Background The malaria-endemic Bijagós Archipelago is situated 50 km off the coast of mainland Guinea-Bissau. It is a seasonal malaria transmission setting, with insecticide-treated bed nets as its primary control strategy.

Seasonal dynamics, resting behaviour and insecticide susceptibility of Anopheles mosquitoes across two differentially malaria-endemic regions in Ethiopia

Current Research in Parasitology and Vector-Borne Diseases
Information on bionomics of Anopheles species composition, seasonal dynamics and insecticide susceptibility status is important to understand malaria transmission in any particular eco-epidemiological setting and for the design of effective vector ...

Anopheles arabiensis larval habitats characterization and Anopheles species diversity in water bodies from Jozini, KwaZulu-Natal Province

Malaria Journal
Background 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 ...

Molecular and entomological surveillance of malaria vectors in urban and rural communities of Benguela Province, Angola

Parasites & Vectors
Background Malaria is a major public health problem in Angola, with Anopheles gambiae sensu lato (s.l.) and An. funestus s.l. being the primary vectors. This study aimed to clarify the information gaps concerning local Anopheles mosquito populations. Our

Phenotypic and genotypic insecticide resistance profiles of main malaria vectors in Kwale county, coastal Kenya

Malaria Journal
Background Long-lasting insecticidal nets are the primary malaria vector control measure in coastal Kenya. In 2018, phenotypic resistance to pyrethroids and low frequency of L1014S kdr mutation were reported in the Anopheles gambiae complex.

Vector Abundance and Genetic Diversity of Anopheles Mosquitoes Collected in a Laboratory–Office Complex in Vom, Nigeria: Implications for Vector Control

Public Health Challenges
Malaria remains a significant threat in high‐burden high‐impact (HBHI) countries despite substantial investments in disease control. This highlights the need for more comprehensive and inclusive strategies to meet national and international targets ...
