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.

Larviciding to prevent malaria transmission
Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2019 Larviciding refers to the regular application of chemical or microbial insecticides to water bodies or water containers to kill the aquatic immature forms of the mosquito (the larvae and pupae).To summarize research evidence evaluating whether larviciding with chemical or microbial insecticides prevents malaria transmission.We searched the Cochrane ...

Transmission-blocking drugs for malaria elimination
Trends in Parasitology, 2022 Preventing human-to-mosquito transmission of malaria parasites provides possible solutions to interrupt the malaria parasite life cycle for malaria elimination. The development of validated routine assays enabled the discovery of such transmission-blocking compounds.

Review of Issues on Residual Malaria Transmission
Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2021 Residual malaria transmission is the actual maintained inoculation of Plasmodium, in spite of a well-designed and implemented vector control programs, and is of great concern for malaria elimination.

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.

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 ...
