The health impact of mosquito-borne diseases causes a huge burden on human societies.
Recent vector control campaigns have resulted in promising declines in incidence and …

Long-lasting insecticidal bed nets (LLINs) protect humans from malaria transmission and are
fundamental to malaria control worldwide, but little is known of how mosquitoes interact with …

Background The success of insecticide treated bed nets (ITNs) for malaria vector control in
Africa relies on the behaviour of various species of Anopheles. Previous research has …

Malaria prevention relies on mosquito control interventions that use insecticides and exploit
mosquito behavior. The rise of insecticide resistance and changing transmission dynamics …

Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) supplemented with the synergist piperonyl butoxide
have been developed in response to growing pyrethroid resistance; however, their durability …

Background Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) treated with pyrethroids are the
foundation of malaria control in sub-Saharan Africa. Rising pyrethroid resistance in vectors …

Barrier bednets (BBnets), regular bednets with a vertical insecticidal panel to target
mosquitoes above the bednet roof, where they are most active, have the potential to improve …

Background Understanding how mosquitoes respond to long lasting insecticide treated nets
(LLINs) is fundamental to sustaining the effectiveness of this essential control tool. We report …

Transmission of Plasmodium falciparum malaria parasites occurs when nocturnal
Anopheles mosquito vectors feed on human blood. In Africa, where malaria burden is …

Background Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) are a key malaria control intervention, but
their effectiveness is threatened by resistance to pyrethroid insecticides. Some new LLINs …
