Abstract Background Malaria transmission in Africa is facilitated by multiple species of
Anopheles mosquitoes. These vectors have different behaviors and vectorial capacities and …

The most important malaria vectors in sub-Saharan Africa are Anopheles gambiae,
Anopheles arabiensis, Anopheles funestus, and Anopheles coluzzii. Of these, An. funestus …

Background Routine malaria surveillance data in Africa primarily come from public health
facilities reporting to national health management information systems. Although information …

Background Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying of
insecticide (IRS) are widely recommended for the prevention of malaria in endemic regions …

Despite the critical role that contact between hosts and vectors, through vector bites, plays in
driving vector-borne disease (VBD) transmission, transmission risk is primarily studied …

Multiple studies have reported a male bias in incidence and/or prevalence of malaria
infection in males compared to females. To test the hypothesis that sex-based differences in …

The decline in malaria across Africa has been largely attributed to vector control using long-
lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs). However, this intervention has prompted widespread …

Background Effective targeting and evaluation of interventions that protect against adult
malaria vectors requires an understanding of how gaps in personal protection arise. An …

Anopheles funestus is playing an increasing role in malaria transmission in parts of sub-
Saharan Africa, where An. gambiae ss has been effectively controlled by long-lasting …

Background Unrestricted use of pesticides in agriculture is likely to increase insecticide
resistance in mosquito vectors. Unfortunately, strategies for managing insecticide resistance …
