Eliminating malaria vectors [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2013
Malaria vectors which predominantly feed indoors upon humans have been locally eliminated from several settings with insecticide treated nets (ITNs), indoor residual spraying or larval source management. Recent dramatic declines of An. gambiae in east Africa with imperfect ITN coverage suggest mosquito populations can rapidly collapse when forced below

The alarming implications of this are that mental states don’t actually exist—humans don’t actually believe anything.
