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

Scaling malaria interventions: bottlenecks to malaria elimination

BMJ Global Health, 2023
The slow progress in malaria control efforts and increasing challenges have prompted a need to accelerate the research and development (R&D), launch and scaling of effective interventions for malaria elimination. This research, including desk research and key informant interviews, identified the following challenges along the end-to-end scale-up ...

The need for larval source management accompanying urban development projects in malaria endemic areas: a case study on Bioko Island

Malaria Journal, 2022
Background In 2017, several new housing districts were constructed on Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea. This case study assessed the impact construction projects had on mosquito larval habitats and the effectiveness of larval source management in reducing
