An experimental hut study to quantify the effect of DDT and airborne pyrethroids on entomological parameters of malaria transmission [PDF]
Malaria Journal, 2014 Current malaria vector control programmes rely on insecticides with rapid contact toxicity. However, spatial repellents can also be applied to reduce man-vector contact, which might ultimately impact malaria transmission. The aim of this study was to quantify effects of airborne pyrethroids from coils and DDT used an indoor residual spray (IRS) on ...

The behaviour of mosquitoes in relation to humans under holed bednets: the evidence from experimental huts. [PDF]
Mem Inst Oswaldo Cruz, 2014 The physical integrity of bednets is a concern of national malaria control programs, as it is a key factor in determining the rate of replacement of bednets. It is largely assumed that increased numbers of holes will result in a loss of protection of sleepers from potentially infective bites.

Parasites & Vectors, 2023 Background A three-dimensional window screen (3D-Screen) has been developed to create a window double-screen trap (3D-WDST), effectively capturing and preventing the escape of mosquitoes.

Frontiers in MalariaIntroductionThe resistance of malaria vectors to pyrethroids has compromised the efficacy of pyrethroid insecticide-treated nets (ITNs). In response, ITNs with pyrethroids and piperonyl butoxide (PBO) synergists were developed to overcome metabolic ...

Experimental hut resting and entrance behaviour of Anopheles darlingi from Zungarococha, a malaria endemic community in Loreto, Northern Peruvian Amazon [PDF]
Malaria JournalBackground Anopheles darlingi is a primary malaria vector in the Peruvian Amazon, yet characterization of behavioural traits contributing to human-vector contact is limited.

Using non-insecticidal traps indoors can complement insecticide-treated nets to target insecticide-resistant malaria vectors [PDF]
Parasites & VectorsBackground Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) provide protection against malaria vectors through their insecticidal action and as a physical barrier. However, insecticide resistance in malaria vectors has diminished their efficacy, threatening future ...

Wild populations of malaria vectors can mate both inside and outside human dwellings
Parasites & Vectors, 2021 Background Wild populations of Anopheles mosquitoes are generally thought to mate outdoors in swarms, although once colonized, they also mate readily inside laboratory cages.

Do holes in long-lasting insecticidal nets compromise their efficacy against pyrethroid resistant Anopheles gambiae and Culex quinquefasciatus? Results from a release-recapture study in experimental huts. [PDF]
Malar J, 2015 Resistance of malaria vectors to pyrethroids threatens the effectiveness of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) as a tool for malaria control. Recent experimental hut and observational studies in Benin show that pyrethroid resistance reduces the ...
