The transmission of malaria in Borneo

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1947
Abstract A. maculatus has for long been regarded as the chief vector of malaria in Borneo. As a result of the work described, however, this mosquito has been shown to have little and probably no importance as a vector there. A. leucosphyrus , on the other hand, generally regarded as a more or less harmless insect, has been shown to be the most ...

A strain theory of malaria transmission

Parasitology Today, 1994
Does the fact that the risk o f getting malaria is high in most endemic areas mean that it will be impossible to control through vaccination? Not if malaria is composed of several mildly transmissible strains, and what we are measuring as the high risk is the probability of being infected by any one of the several strains circulating independently ...

Climate change and malaria transmission

Annals of Tropical Medicine & Parasitology, 1996
There is a consensus among climatologists that our planet is experiencing a progressive rise in surface temperature due to the increased production of "greenhouse" gases. Some of the possible consequences of elevated temperature on malaria transmission are examined in the present review.

Malaria transmission blocked by immunisation with gametes of the malaria parasite

Nature, 1976
IN view of the limited success of malaria eradication schemes based on concepts of vector control and chemotherapy, serious efforts are being made to investigate the possibility of developing an antimalarial vaccine. So far two classes of vaccine have been under investigation: (1) an anti-sporozoite vaccine designed to prevent malarial infection by ...

Human mobility and malaria transmission

2020 IEEE International Conference on Healthcare Informatics (ICHI), 2020
Malaria has persisted in tropical and sub-tropical areas despite a decades-long extensive global program of malaria elimination. While programs have been successful in reducing malaria to near elimination in many areas, achieving complete elimination remains a challenge.

Progress in Modelling Malaria Transmission

2010
Transmission of human malaria is a complicated dynamic process that involves populations of humans, parasites, and vectors. The first mathematical models of malaria are now more than a century old, and they are still a useful conceptual synthetic description of transmission, but they fail in some important ways.

Revisiting the determinants of malaria transmission

Trends in Parasitology
Malaria parasites have coevolved with humans over thousands of years, mirroring their migration out of Africa. They persist to this day, despite continuous elimination efforts worldwide. These parasites can adapt to changing environments during infection of human and mosquito, and when expanding the geographical range by switching vector species ...

Spatial simulation of malaria transmission and its control by malaria transmission blocking vaccination

International Journal for Parasitology, 2002
A simple, visual representation of spatial aspects of malaria transmission in successive snap-shots in time, is presented. The spatial components of the simulation involve (i) the identification of mosquito vector breeding sites of defined shape and area, (ii) the identification of a zone of malaria transmission determined by the shapes and areas of ...
