Changes in contributions of different Anopheles vector species to malaria transmission in east and southern Africa from 2000 to 2022
Abstract Background Malaria transmission in Africa is facilitated by multiple species of
Anopheles mosquitoes. These vectors have different behaviors and vectorial capacities and …

Emergence of behavioural avoidance strategies of malaria vectors in areas of high LLIN coverage in Tanzania
Despite significant reductions in malaria transmission across Africa since 2000, progress is
stalling. This has been attributed to the development of insecticide resistance and …

Using ecological observations to improve malaria control in areas where Anopheles funestus is the dominant vector
The most important malaria vectors in sub-Saharan Africa are Anopheles gambiae,
Anopheles arabiensis, Anopheles funestus, and Anopheles coluzzii. Of these, An. funestus …

Aquatic habitats of the malaria vector Anopheles funestus in rural south-eastern Tanzania
Background In rural south-eastern Tanzania, Anopheles funestus is a major malaria vector,
and has been implicated in nearly 90% of all infective bites. Unfortunately, little is known …

Methods and indicators for measuring patterns of human exposure to malaria vectors
Background Effective targeting and evaluation of interventions that protect against adult
malaria vectors requires an understanding of how gaps in personal protection arise. An …

Effect of physicochemical parameters on Anopheles and Culex mosquito larvae abundance in different breeding sites in a rural setting of Muheza, Tanzania
Background Malaria and lymphatic filariasis (LF) are diseases of great public health
