As vectors of disease, mosquitoes are a global threat to human health. The Anopheles
mosquito is the deadliest mosquito species as the insect vector of the malaria-causing …

Anopheles mosquitoes present a major public health challenge in sub-Saharan Africa;
notably, as vectors of malaria that kill over half a million people annually. In parts of the east …

Vector control using long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS)
accounts for most of the malaria burden reductions achieved recently in low and middle …

Background In order to sustain the gains achieved by current malaria control strategies,
robust surveillance systems that monitor dynamics of vectors and their roles in malaria …

In the present study, an ecotoxicological approach to the evaluation of the insecticide
Pyriproxifen in the crustacean Daphnia magna was done. Acute toxicity tests (48 h), feeding …

Background A mixed methods study was conducted to look at the magnitude of residual
malaria transmission (RMT) and factors contributing to low (< 1% prevalence), but sustained …

Background Outdoor malaria transmission is becoming an increasingly important problem in
malaria control in Africa. Larval control is a promising intervention as it can target both …

Abstract Background Larval Source Management (LSM) is an important tool for malaria
vector control and is recommended by WHO as a supplementary vector control measure …

Introduction The massive scale-up of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) has led to major
reductions in malaria burden in many sub-Saharan African countries. This progress is …

Pyriproxyfen (PPF) is a synthetic substance and an insect juvenile hormone agonist with
growth regulating effect. It is used worldwide as a pesticide in agriculture and public health …
