Malaria control may be enhanced by targeting reservoirs of Plasmodium falciparum
transmission. One putative reservoir is asymptomatic malaria infections and the scale of their …

Background Control of malaria parasite transmission can be enhanced by understanding
which human demographic groups serve as the infectious reservoirs. Because vector biting …

Background: Monitoring malaria transmission is a critical component of efforts to achieve
targets for elimination and eradication. Two commonly monitored metrics of transmission …

Background Most people infected with malaria acquire the infection indoors from mosquito
vectors that entered the house through open eaves, windows and doors. Structural house …

Land‐use practices such as agriculture can impact mosquito vector breeding ecology,
resulting in changes in disease transmission. The typical breeding habitats of Africa's …

Background Understanding malaria vector's population dynamics and their spatial
distribution is important to define when and where the largest infection risks occur and …

The relative efficacy of a mechanical (Prokopack) collection method vs. manual aspiration in
the collection of resting mosquitoes was evaluated in northern Tanzania before and after an …

Background Malaria is increasing in some recently urbanized areas that historically were
considered lower risk. Understanding what drives urban transmission is hampered by …

Abstract Background Community composition of Anopheles mosquitoes, and their host-
seeking and peridomestic behaviour, are important factors affecting malaria transmission. In …

Several vector-borne pathogens of primates have potential for human spillover. An example
is the simian malaria Plasmodium knowlesi which is now a major public health problem in …
