Ecology of Malaria Vectors in an Endemic Area, Southeast of Iran

Journal of Arthropod-Borne Diseases, 2021
Background: Malaria has long been regarded as one of the most important public health issues in Iran. Although the country is now in the elimination phase, some endemic foci of malaria are still present in the southeastern areas of the country.

Integrated vector management for malaria control [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2008
Integrated vector management (IVM) is defined as "a rational decision-making process for the optimal use of resources for vector control" and includes five key elements: 1) evidence-based decision-making, 2) integrated approaches 3), collaboration within the health sector and with other sectors, 4) advocacy, social mobilization, and legislation, and 5)

Sickle Cell Disease: Historical Overview and Current Therapies

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sickle cell disease (SCD) affects millions worldwide, yet the limited treatment options currently available do not always adequately control the disease and carry significant side effects. At present, the only curative treatment is hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation, a procedure that carries considerable challenges and numerous ...

Mathematical modelling of Mosquito Dispersal for Malaria\ud Vector Control. [PDF]

, 2013
In malaria endemic regions, dispersal of mosquitoes from one location to another searching for resources for their survival and reproduction is a fundamental biological process that operates at multiple temporal and spatial scales.

Long‐term impact of exposure to Royal Guard, a pyriproxyfen‐based bed net, on pyrethroid‐resistant malaria vectors from Cameroon using DNA‐based metabolic resistance markers

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 2165-2180, April 2025.
We used recently detected P450 DNA‐based markers of pyrethroid resistance in both Anopheles funestus and Anopheles gambiae to demonstrate that although pyrethroid‐resistant mosquitoes have higher ability to survive and live longer after exposure to Royal Guard, this net significantly affects their lifespan, blood feeding ability and interestingly ...

Illegal Gold Mining in the Brazilian Amazon: Environmental Degradation in Yanomami Indigenous Lands, and Regulatory Failures

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Illegal gold mining has emerged as a major sustainability threat in the Amazon, eroding Indigenous rights, forest integrity, and climate mitigation efforts. This study examines how international market incentives relate to the expansion of illegal mining and associated deforestation within the Yanomami Indigenous Territory (YIT) from 2008 to ...

New gorilla adenovirus vaccine vectors induce potent immune responses and protection in a mouse malaria model

Malaria Journal, 2017
Background A DNA-human Ad5 (HuAd5) prime-boost malaria vaccine has been shown to protect volunteers against a controlled human malaria infection. The potency of this vaccine, however, appeared to be affected by the presence of pre-existing immunity ...

Secondary malaria vectors in western Kenya include novel species with unexpectedly high densities and parasite infection rates

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background Malaria vector control has been implemented chiefly through indoor interventions targeting primary vectors resulting in population declines—pointing to a possible greater proportional contribution to transmission by secondary malaria vectors ...

The consequences of host heterogeneity for parasite transmission depend on how host infectiousness is determined

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study proposes two contrasting scenarios for how host infectiousness is determined: recipient dependence and donor dependence. These scenarios fundamentally alter how host heterogeneity shapes parasite transmission, demonstrating that the process by which infectiousness is determined is crucial for understanding the consequences of host ...
