Variations in household microclimate affect outdoor-biting behaviour of malaria vectors [PDF]
, 2017 Background: Mosquito behaviours including the degree to which they bite inside houses or outside is a crucial determinant of human exposure to malaria.

Tropical Medicine and Health, 2018 Background Mosquitoes have developed resistance to multiple classes of insecticides for malaria vector control. A new generation of long-lasting insecticidal bed nets (LLINs) has been developed with increased efficacy against these resistant mosquitoes ...

Biosafety Concerns Involving Genetically Modified Mosquitoes to Combat Malaria and Dengue in Developing Countries [PDF]
, 2011 Malaria and dengue are the most prevalent mosquito-borne infections worldwide. Because traditional vector control methods have proven to be insufficient to control mosquito populations in endemic areas, scientists are actively working in the design of ...

Recombinant bacteria for mosquito control [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2003 SUMMARY Bacterial insecticides have been used for the control of nuisance and vector mosquitoes for more than two decades. Nevertheless, due primarily to their high cost and often only moderate efficacy, these insecticides remain of limited use in tropical countries where mosquito-borne diseases are prevalent.

Live calcium imaging of Aedes aegypti neuronal tissues reveals differential importance of chemosensory systems for life-history-specific foraging strategies. [PDF]
, 2019 BackgroundThe mosquito Aedes aegypti has a wide variety of sensory pathways that have supported its success as a species as well as a highly competent vector of numerous debilitating infectious pathogens.

Mosquito Behaviour and Disease Control [PDF]
Evolution, Medicine, and Public Health, 2014 Mosquito control and disease management Mosquitoes vector many important disease pathogens. Controls of mosquito-borne diseases often involve lowering the contact rate between human and vector, and killing the vector. For instance, long lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) act on both of these levels.

Mesocosm experiments reveal the impact of mosquito control measures on malaria vector life history and population dynamics [PDF]
, 2018 The impact of control measures on mosquito vector fitness and demography is usually estimated from bioassays or indirect variables in the field. Whilst indicative, neither approach is sufficient to quantify the potentially complex response of mosquito ...
