Host preferences of blood-feeding mosquitoes
W Takken, NO Verhulst - Annual review of entomology, 2013 - annualreviews.org
Mosquitoes use plant sugars and vertebrate blood as nutritional resources. When searching
for blood hosts, some mosquitoes express preferential behavior for selected species. Here …

Biting by Anopheles funestus in broad daylight after use of long-lasting insecticidal nets: a new challenge to malaria elimination
S Sougoufara, SM Diédhiou, S Doucouré, N Diagne… - Malaria journal, 2014 - Springer
Background Malaria control is mainly based on indoor residual spraying and insecticide-
treated bed nets. The efficacy of these tools depends on the behaviour of mosquitoes, which …

Larval source management for malaria control in Africa: myths and reality
U Fillinger, SW Lindsay - Malaria journal, 2011 - Springer
As malaria declines in many African countries there is a growing realization that new
interventions need to be added to the front-line vector control tools of long-lasting …

Rethinking the extrinsic incubation period of malaria parasites
The time it takes for malaria parasites to develop within a mosquito, and become
transmissible, is known as the extrinsic incubation period, or EIP. EIP is a key parameter …
