Environmental Determinants of Malaria Transmission Around the Koka Reservoir in Ethiopia [PDF]
GeoHealth, 2018 New dam construction is known to exacerbate malaria transmission in Africa as the vectors of malaria—Anopheles mosquitoes—use bodies of water as breeding sites. Precise environmental mechanisms of how reservoirs exacerbate malaria transmission are yet to

Delayed mortality effects cut the malaria transmission potential of insecticide-resistant mosquitoes [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2016 Significance Insecticide resistance poses one of the greatest challenges to the control of malaria and other vector-borne diseases. Quantifying the magnitude of its impact is essential to ensure the sustainability of future control programs.

Scientific Reports, 2023 The hematophagy behavior has evolved independently several times within the Arthropoda phylum. Interestingly, the process of acquiring a blood meal in ticks is considerably distinct from that observed in other blood-feeding arthropods.

PLoS Computational Biology, 2022 Given the crucial role of climate in malaria transmission, many mechanistic models of malaria represent vector biology and the parasite lifecycle as functions of climate variables in order to accurately capture malaria transmission dynamics.

Spatial Dynamics of Malaria Transmission
PLOS Computational Biology, 2022 AbstractThe Ross-Macdonald model has exerted enormous influence over the study of malaria transmission dynamics and control, but it lacked features to describe parasite dispersal, travel, and other important aspects of heterogeneous transmission. Here, we present a patch-based differential equation modeling framework that extends the Ross-Macdonald ...

Border malaria: defining the problem to address the challenge of malaria elimination
Malaria Journal, 2023 Border malaria is frequently cited as an obstacle to malaria elimination and sometimes used as a justification for the failure of elimination. Numerous border or cross-border meetings and elimination initiatives have been convened to address this ...

Malaria Transmission and Fetal Growth [PDF]
BMJ, 1974 In view of the known relation between infection of the maternal circulation of the placenta with Plasmodium falciparum and impaired fetal growth a study was made of the effect on birth weights of a malaria eradication campaign in the British Solomon Islands. Mean birth weights rose substantially within months of starting antimalarial operations.

Geospatial based model for malaria risk prediction in Kilombero valley, South-eastern, Tanzania.
PLoS ONE, 2023 BackgroundMalaria continues to pose a major public health challenge in tropical regions. Despite significant efforts to control malaria in Tanzania, there are still residual transmission cases.

How effective is integrated vector management against malaria and lymphatic filariasis where the diseases are transmitted by the same vector? [PDF]
, 2014 The opportunity to integrate vector management across multiple vector-borne diseases is particularly plausible for malaria and lymphatic filariasis (LF) control where both diseases are transmitted by the same vector.
